He said said GBP wanted a contract that stipulated they hold the rights to all of his fights for the rest of his life. He said that there is no way Arum works with them for a Pacquiao fight so he asked to change the contract around to where they step aside for a Pacquiao fight and they refused. His contract with GBP expires tomorrow. Talked about how he demanded more money than offered by GBP because its time for boxers to open their eyes because they are the ones who really put the hard work in busting their backs in training and taking the shots. If a Pacquiao fight should not come through he will move up to 140 in search for a 4th world title. Wants to fight in May in Mexico with Rafael Marquez on the under card. Also talked about how all the belts from the sanctioning bodies are bad for boxing and there should only be 1 champion from each of the 4 major bodies.
I don't blame him. GBP is throwing their full promotional might behind their young stars (like khan) and prospects (like the ginger kid).
older guys like mosley and jmm are thrown to the curb.Comment

He speaks just as good if not better English than Pacquiao. Marquez has only been learning for a short while aswell. Unlike Pacquiao. He's been saying "there ahhh will be alot ahhhhhhhhhh of boxing ahhh in the ring" since his debut on HBO.

Marquez would be better off leaving gbp.. he can probably get fights independently rather than signing with someone. He is the lightweight division and there are many fights for him to be made at 140 even without gbp young fighters at 140. I have a feeling that arum will give him a shot at pac but only after he fights soto....Comment
