      why is GBP interested in putting JMM as a welter?
      he's going to WW to fight Pac anyways and there are no other big money fights out there to match the money at the lower weights. With that being said, Im not so sure that they could sell that fight for that much either

        that still doesn't 'financially' match Pac-JMM package, there is also the percentage of PPV sale, (how are they going to match that).

          honestly IMO this is what I would do

          if JMM ends up with TR

          offer a JMM vs Bradley fight (assuming he doesn't sign with GBP) in July with the winner to fight Manny in November. That's two big fights and a chance at 5 division titles (140 with Bradley and 147ish with Pacquiao)

          if he ends up back with Golden Boy

          offer him a shot at Maidana then a chance at Ortiz. Two not as big fights but at least is a guaranteed salary against arguably easier competition and it's still a shot at 5 division titles (Maidana at 140 and Ortiz at 147)

            How are they going to match the upside of the PPV or the rematch clause?

            Besides that, why would Marquez choose Ortiz over Pacquiao. A win over Pacquiao is history, a win over Ortiz is nothing special in terms of history.

              no

              the only reason he is going to welter is to fight Manny

              big difference IMO

                Because JMM wants to fight Pac at WW, but GBP has the option to match the offer. So they want to match and throw him in with Ortiz.

                  Why are they trying to match weights? All Marquez needs is a 4th division title. Last time I check, he hasn't even conquered 140, so Judah or Khan (if Bradley's a lost cause) would be good. Not sure if Judah's worth giving Marquez $5Mill but he's a PPV name.

                    I think if GBP matches the offer it blocks the Pac fight.

                      but why not give him Khan at 140 or Maidana then Ortiz?
