Comments Thread For: Arum: Marquez's Demands Offended Pacquiao, Killed Fight

[JoeDaWg]

What are we living in a time machine?

Jmm can't draw **** on ppv, he shouldn't be demanding double his biggest payday ever. I don't give a **** how close his two fights with pac were. If he plays his cards right he can still get his shot in november after mosley. Floyd looks like he's never coming back so there's plenty of beat down to go around.

But remember this, it's not 2008 no more, so lets be real. There are to many delusional boxing fans putting all this pointless stock in jmm. He had two close fights with pac, when jmm was in his prime, at his prime weight 135, and pac was basically a one handed fighter. All those things have changed, not one or two, all of them. He's gonna get ate up like a lil taco snack.

The man couldn't stay off his ass back in 08, now at 147 he's supposed to be something? Give it a rest. Dude is gonna get hatton'd, everyone who's been paying attention the last to years see's it clear as day. That's why he wants the big check cause it will likely be his last.

As popular and powerful as pacquiao is he still seems like a "yes" man. I dont believe he was offended and didn't even care. I think he just looked at arum and said "what do I say boss" and arum said "nothing they won't understand u anyway leave it to me" lol all jokes aside arum is a scumbag for saying pacwuiao was offended as if he cares if he was offended in the first place. He makes the fights whether Pac gets offended or not. He's basically blaming Pac for the fight not being done. Don't mention his name at all you're the promoter.

HAHAHA. this is pretty funny.

"nothing they won't understand u anyway leave it to me"

You're exactly right. This is exactly like Hatton-Witter ebcause Pac is ducking JMM the way Hatton ducked Witter.

i dont think so. pac has fought him twice. Fact. He priced himself out and asked for osts in may. Fact. Marquez should accept whatever offer he gets because he has no leverage.Fact.

someones been disrepeting my name for years i wouldnt want him to get a massive payday of my name. Marquez should accept what team pac proposed and back up ur talk. If he wins he can have all the paydays he wants.

Mayweather has been disrespecting Pac's name far worse than JMM. So if this is the attitude Pac has with JMM, what makes you think he'll want Money to get the massive payday against him either. Once again, hypocritical, flawed logic on your part.

What's wrong with USADA testing? Pac is clean right?

The bottom line is that Pacquiao is asking too much money from Arum.

This totally different. Pac and Floyd are on the same level. Marquez is that bitter foe that can accept defeat and has no leverage. Pac and floyd will make their biggest payday together. Marquez wont make **** without pac.

[pistol whip]

You people do realize that if Marquez asked for 5 million he would only see about 2 million while Golden Boy got the rest right?

I hope people really didn't think that Golden Boy was just gonna step aside and not make any money off their fighter now did they?

well taking three tests within a 7 day cut off and one after the fight certainly seems to me that he is innocent. Anyone that says otherwise has an agenda.

According to Arum, JMM didn't play hardball, his initial proposal was so offensive they walked. I thought the rules of negitiating were to start high. If you start high, you can eventually get to what you really want. I'm pretty sure Team JMM didn't pull what Team Pacquaio have continually done with Mayweather and say this is our proposal, take it or leave it. If they really wanted to fight JMM, they would have negotiated in good faith. Arum wanted Mosley because he wants to squeeze whatever drawing power Mosley has left in him out. Pac knows that JMM is a tough match-up for him, and would rather do something else. Adn that's what it came down to. This Mosley deal was in place before the opening bell for Pacquaio-Margarito even rang. Don't buy into the hype.

again, my stance was based off of IF what bob said was true... but we all know bob is the master at manipulation. im waiting for team jmm to deny arums claims... i honestly believe shane was the frontrunner as well... him leaving GBP was the nail in the coffin. LOL

i think we all know pac/shane is a self-serving money fight for arum.

i cant imagine the PAINFULLY boring 24/7 for this fight :/
