BREAKING NEWS: Arum: Marquez resigning with Golden Boy, Trilogy Off!!

[Kagami Taiga]

they probably through him in there with cintron for a mw title

why do i see this happening? actually isnt a bad fight. about a clottey level opponent.

[Rick Grimes]

You can blame Arum if you like, but Marquez said he desperately wanted a Pacquiao fight and could've gotten it, then signed with GBP afterwards if he was so keen on being under their promotional umbrella. He knew what it took to get the fight and it was there for the taking. But he turned it down and said, 'what's Zab Judah up to these days'.

Chris John deja vu.

The only person stopping the fight is Arum because he's a greedy old ****.

[Ray*]

And this is ok? Because he didn't sign for Arum? So now he doesn't want the fight right? So now this equals ducking? How about Arum negotiate with whoever JMM's promoter is and try to make this fight?

[-Boxzilla-]

glad he didnt sell his soul to arum for a fight that woulda been in an unfair weight class anyways ...

[BoZz]

It doesn't really matter who pac fights we know it's gonna be a shiddy weight drained bumm coming from a loss.

thats a shame

u make a lot of baseless assumptions based on your love of a specific fighter, u know that?? its a very dangerous precedent to follow. who knows why marquez made this decision. but i might have had somethin to do with the fact that he wanted to prolong his career as opposed to going the cash out route. either way, none of that implies that he didnt wanna fight pac.

Really?

Baseless assumptions?

Is it baseless to say that HBO offered Pac and JMM 50/50 split on $1.5 mil for an immediate rematch of their first fight and Marquez wanted the whole pot for himself and then turned around to fight/lose to Chris John in Indonesia for $30K.

Is it baseless to say Marquez was offered a Pacquiao fight when the original Pac-Floyd talks broke down and he wanted a 50/50 split and OST (aka thinking he had the same bargaining chips as Floyd)?

Is it baseless to say he was all over the place saying he wanted Manny and then when Arum said 'come get you some. You're next' he's taking a fraction of what he would've/could've made and going to fight Zab Judah or Robert Guerrero?

C'mon Son

Exactly, the only person that has a problem with JMM signing for GBP is Arum.

[TouchyAndalou]

Good, there are plenty of intriguing fights out there for Marquez at 135 or even 140. And it's exceedingly gay that Arum's only willing to make fights for Manny against other Top Rank fighters anyway, whatever the financial reasons.

C'mon Son

its baseless to assume that u kno what another person's motives for doing something is. again, like i said, if he knew he wasnt gonna get what he wanted out of the fight i.e. a bad split, end up being w/o a promoter and being forced to fight at 147 even tho he doesnt belong there, then he has plenty of reason to not take the fight even if he wanted it. like i said ur assumption that he doesnt want the fight is baseless.
