[Illdil]

how is he gonna unify with zab judah? judah only holds 1 belt and marquez holds none in the 140lb division!

khan and bradley hold wba, wbc and wbo between them right?

are gbp and their chums at wbc going to invent a new belt for marquez?

Not with GB...but Any thing's possible with Arum he can even order a hit on anyone AHAHAHAHAH JK but he can get those fights but i say sign with TR and try and get the damn 3rd fight

WBA/WBO lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez has met with Golden Boy Promotions, who are working hard to prevent the Mexican champion from leaving their company in pursuit of a third meeting with Manny Pacquiao. The pound-for-pound Filipino is promoted by Golden Boy's rival Top Rank. Marquez says Golden Boy made a very attractive financial offer to keep him with the company. He met with company president Oscar De La Hoya and CEO Richard Schaefer. The deal is said to be a lucractive four fight package.

He sounds like he's already made his decision. Doesn't seem in a rush to leave GB, assuming because of the new offer. Must be a hell of an offer, there seems to be a distinct change of tone, first he wanted the Pac fight, now he's questioning whether anybody wants to see it???

[pistol whip]

Marquez already got whooped twice against a green Pacquiao. .

A guy in his mid to late 20's with 40+ pro bouts and more than half a dozen title fights = green?


Wow talk about ******!

Well, it looks like JMM was really after money after all. They must've offered hm enough so he could make the same for a Pac fight within two fights or something close to that. But even without Pacman, he can fight Guerrero or move up and fight Zab (like they menitoned), Bradley, Maidana, Alexander or even Amir Khan, although Khan might be too big and may be a welterweight at that time. Maybe JMM was using Pac as leverage to just get more money. But whatever the deal is, unfortunately, don't expect to see JMM on HBO anymore. If they are going to pay him as well as he says, I expect all these bouts to be PPV. I didn't buy JMM vs. Diaz II and won't buy any these either...

well if he doesn't feel like fighting PAC then that's hes decision cuz hes the one chasing PAC but if he feels like what u said then hey i guess thats a good decision now that i think of it but he'll have to move up in weight right away and perform and the highest caliber and thats tough cuz he has had only one fight over 140lb

Ugh and why wouldn't he be on HBO anymore? Hell he does better numbers than all the 140 pound stars combined.

[brick wall]

i really think jmm will be better off if he stops his obssession for another pac fight. he should accept gbp's offer even without the assurance of a pac trilogy.

[lopez36]

honestly jmm doesn't need pacquiao,he beat him already,he wont be able to compete at welter because thats where pacquiao will make him fight,so just stay at lightweight and unify against vazquez,fight guerrero,those are good fights,140 is too much but he can try to win another title,i see better fights for him at lightweight because they are at his weight,not against pac welter,he's at the end of his career and if gbp offered him good money,then take it

Was just thinking the same thing. Man these fanboys are delusional today aren't they.

A third fight with Pac at 147 is a fight JMM cannot win anyway. Everyone saw how he looked at 147. He is way too small for that weight and his power is not even average at 147. He might do well at 140, but he's also getting old and his last fight was another war. He can't have too many of those before he will degrade.
