Comments Thread For: Canelo-Marquez: Golden Boy Ready To Match Pacquiao III

[ThePrince]

Golden Boy is looking desperate.

Tell me about it.

Just let the man walk away, he's at the end of his career and they have young talent they can focus on. Plus, paying Marquez $5 million plus PPV upside AND guaranteeing him $10 million for a possible rematch is absurd. Just won't happen.

Just pure desperation and it's making them come off as weak and pathetic.

matching top rank? i doubt it. gbp coughing out $5-6 mil? I don't see it for JMM.

It's clear that GBP is just using stalling tactics here to delay the trilogy and force Arum to look for alternatives. They knew Arum always needs a lot of time promoting his fights and doesn't have the patience to wait. In the end they're hurting Marquez more than they do Arum.

They gave Marquez until May 17 to let them know if he's going to fight Pac or not, so he's on the clock. JMM himself has yet to give GBP the contract, so once he does, GBP has the chance to play their little stalling game until the 17th.

Looks like JMM will fight Pac end of the year. This is basically a fight lined up for Pac as Floyd vs Pac is unlikely to happen this year.

Marquez or no Marquez, the Floyd fight was not going to happen this year... don't know when there was ever any indication it would

Isn't Canelo at a higher weight class than Pacman ? Will he go down to welterweight ?

GBP is getting desperate ...

I ****ing love it that Canelo and GBP seem to be overlooking Ryan Rhodes. Methinks Saul might be about to come down to earth with a good old bump.

There is always next year.

Maybe Oscar will come out of retirement and fight Canelo.
