Comments Thread For: Juan Manuel Marquez Finally Talks: 'My Goal is Pacquiao!'

[The Devil]

Arum just trying to sabotage GBP, the biggest promotion co in the world

Soon as there was an announcement that JMM was about to re-sign with GPB, Blob Arum starts clamoring for a 3rd fight publicly. He did it with Mosley too. Blob is wasting Manny's career on his personal vendetta/losing battle against Oscar. Arum will die of old age in the next couple of years and Top Stank will be buried next to Bob's greedy old bones anyway.

That's what he has been saying for many years already.
What's new? If he wants to fight Pac, he should make a deal
with TR. That's the fastest way.

Bull****. Arum said Marquez is going back to GBP, and JMM himself saying he's already in training for a 135 title defense means he's most likely taking on Guerrero in the Summer as part of the first fight of the 2 fight deal. Second fight is probably Zab if he gets by the Ghost.

This is typical JMM M.O. If his life's goal is a Pacquiao fight, all he has to do is wait until May 8th to make it happen. Remain a free agent, and he'll get a deal done faster than Shane did. He knows signing a GBP contract will make it difficult to get his 'goal', so he knows what he has to do, right?

The word bull**** should always precede Arum's name. The guy publicly contradicts himself so much that I'm beginning to suspect he's either a compulsive liar or suffering from dementia. He's shown no serious interest in pursuing a fight with Marquez and has come up with every possible excuse why. Marquez should focus on pursuing serious offers instead of wasting his time with Arum's BS games that are ruining the sport.

Marquez is in a tough spot, if he goes back to GB his chances for the Pac fight are ZERO. As a free agent, the dollars will not be that big. If he goes to Top Rank he'll have to sit until November and fight Pac at 147.

didn't he already beat pacquiao twice? fighting pac for the third makes no sense when you already beat him twice, right?...marquez should fight khan or ortiz or garcia or rios and retire...it's obvious he is only after his retirement check courtesy of pacquiao...

You know he's been asking for this fight since before Manny Pacquiao became famous, right? This mutha****er was over in the Phillipines asking him for the rematch.

Where he made a big mistake by disrespecting Pac in his own turf. JMM was invited for a boxing event & a TV commercial starring him and Pac. Instead, with hordes of tv crews, he ambushed Pac shoving pen and paper to his face asking him to sign the contract. Pac left him. The commercial was cancelled.

Every boxer today would like to be in the Manny Pacquiao lottery. Just imagine joining the best fighter in the planet in the ring not mentioning the millions of dollars to be earned. The problem with Juan Manuel Marquez is he does not have the support of his fellow Mexicans. The only chance for him to sell tickets is if he will be fighting well known fighters. Even when he fought Mayweather they did not do good in sales...HBO has to do some hokus pokus and some funny stories to make people believe that they sold a lot of PPV.

Do you care to elaborate on this? The official word is that fight did 1 Million buys. What do you know that the rest of us don't?

You mean he made the mistake of calling Pacroid out on his own turf, in front of his face, in front of his people, and Pacroid still b#tching out?

and the arrogant manner he challenged pacman, when he said "you know you lost the fight... and you know who won the fight! i want a rematch... will you please sign the contract?" or something like that... and proceeded to look for the paper and pen which he probably misplaced

clearly JMM lacked manners...so pacman ignored him, and left laughing.

i believe that marquez truly deserves a third fight with Manny.

problem is, i don't think he realizes that insulting Pac is probably the worst thing you can do in trying to get a fight with him.
