Comments Thread For: Arum: Berto-Marquez Should Happen For Pacquiao Shot

[jai mari078]

it kinda makes sense in a crazy way in that berto needs a name on his resume, marquez would give him that, and marquez can prove he's capable at 147 on the flipside.

But if you're marquez and you're only chasing manny, why take such a gamble? You probably don't.

good point!!!! Good post!!!!!!

If JMM had just stayed his ass on the deck and been counted out against Katsidis, this would be a moot point because we'd have Pacquaio-Marquez III on May 7 instead of Pacquaio-Mosley.

No, Arum would have said that if he didn't get knocked out he could have got his chance at Pacquiao.

all this talk about marquez going up in weight.why don't pac come down just like he has been making everybody else come down.they've been ducking jmm and will never fight him unless they have him come in at the full welterweight so he can't perform his best counter punching.over price is a excuse.

Beating them on the scales is the strategy, that's why. Pacquiao doesn't duck anyone, but he is being a total b!tch about Marquez.

Arum / Pacquiao are cared ****less of the smaller man Marquez, sending bigger guys to try and take him out. LMAO!

Shoulda been Mosley/Berto but I get what he's saying.

i agree with this but then again marquez fought pac twice already and mosley havent so i think mosley is the right choice.. marquez and berto should go at it to see who get pacman next.. this way there wont be any crying from either of them or the fans..

Berto possibly stops him... I know that seems drastic... but the size, speed, power, explosiveness of Berto would be a lot for JMM to overcome at 37 years old and two weight classes above his last fight.

On the flipside, it would be hard for JMM to hurt Berto.. he would have to land the most perfect punch right on the chin.. and even then, I'm not sure if the strength would carry over to welterweight.

LMAO

Everyone thinks that Bob Arum is a cvnt, except for these three ***wits.

You Manny-fluffer's are a joke.

The same three ****heads.

LMAO! Very well said.

[WESS]

good point!!!! Good post!!!!!!

Lets all remember to give Floyd Mayweather a pass for fighting JMM at WW now....

It's seems since Arum is saying its ok for WW's to fight JMM.... that must make it ok now. It's only wrong when Floyd does it. Got it.

You're a Manny nut-hugging fan, right? Justify this piece of crap fight for me. How does this fight make sense?

The Marquez money demands were excessive if you look at how many people paid to watch him fight Katsidis. Nobody but us hardcore fans even cared about that fight. It had must see TV written all over it however it did poorly sales wise. Considering that, it is hard to demand double your highest payday. And if you compare the sales of Mayweather vs JMM to Mayweather vs Mosley, Mayweather vs Mosley did much better at the gate (with higher ticket prices) and in PPV sales. Personally, I would love to see Pacquiao fight JMM at 140 or 142 lbs but more people will pay to see him fight Mosley (unfortunately)...

Makes perfect sense for everyone involved. HBO would pay good money for this fight. Marquez gets to show how he would handle a true welter who has power and speed, Berto fights his first marquee opponent... then the winner gets a mega millions winning lottery ticket (if they drop their promoters probably).
