Comments Thread For: Marquez Offered $5 Million For Pacquiao?: I Beat Him Twice!

[DominiBox]

Wasn't that the same price that Marquez asked for before and Arum said that he was crazy? Did I miss something? Is Marquez still with Golden Boy? Arum still trying to make it happen? Very surprised.

Not.....it wasn't. There's not an official report, but some articles said that Marquez asked almost double of the Mayweather's fight purse. Like 7 or 8 Millions !!

But that's not official....And of course, i don't trust Arum !!

nice retirement money for jmm

Squeeze them JMM they've got no other big names to fight.

people are tired of Mexicans, Pac already have done the clean up so they just have to fight each other but Marquez is avoiding Morales.

I think it's hilarious that people are already jumping to excuses once Pacquiao decides to fight him again and possibly beat him much more convincingly.

Wasn't this the fight that people wanted to see if the Mayweather fight doesn't happen (again)?

If Pac were to fight Ortiz people would just say he fought a slow, flat footed plodder who fights straight forward and ducked JMM.

ortiz is none of those things so why would ppl say that? and if ppl did, who would listen? u? dont lose common sense in ur effort to make a point.

jmm is a **** fight at 147. it was when floyd did it and it still is. nothings changed except jmm got older.

So you think a fight with JMM is unreasonable now for Pac? If it were at 140?

It's already been widely reported, including on this very website, that Top Rank sent an offer last Friday to Juan Manuel Marquez for a trilogy battle with Manny Pacquiao. The fight could take place on a date in October or November. While the exact terms are unknown, several outlets in Mexico are reporting, including Sal Rodriguez, that Marquez was offered a guarantee of $5 million with additional incentives like a percentage of the pay-per-view.

5 mill is better than what he was gonna get before the mosley fight was signed.

I seriously doubt GBP will give JMM $5 million for 1 fight.

i think the highest weight class jmm has proven to be effective at is 135. regardless of if its at 140 or 147 its a **** fight. pac has proven effective at those weights. we kno he can do it. jmm hasnt looked good at 147 and hes never fought at 140. as far as whats reasonable or unreasonable, idc. sure pac has the right and the power to demand jmm move up. but does that make it even a good win if he does? no.

i honestly dont kno who pac should fight atm. im not gonna say ortiz cuz he's relatively new at 147 but bradley vs. khan winner is a possibility at 140.

[physiker]

Has Pac indicated he will or will not ever go back down to 140?

Of course with Marquez, since Pac holds all the cards, why would he when he knows that Marquez has little at 147, as FMJ fight showed?

yes it is the same and arums argument was that 5 mill was more than marquez had made against floyd and made it seem as if marquez was pricing himself out

[bose]

marquez better just take the money or else pac and arum walk,

war pac, beat mosley - watch out for moselys head-butts - war pac
