    Several reasons.

    1. Some people really want to see Marquez-Pacquiao III. Whether or not it will be as competitive as their first two fights is beside the point. Some people have still be calling for it. At the very least, people were calling for it. Hardcore fans were never really calling for Marquez-Mayweather.

    2. Manny is still the bigger man than Marquez, but he is still seen as the smaller man when it comes to Mayweather. Whether or not that is true, is irrelevant. Perception is often times reality.

    3. Out of the opponents that could have been brought up, he's not the worst option. It makes business sense for several reasons. It keeps Manny out there while letting him close the chapter for his legacy, potentially. It also allows Manny to one-up Mayweather if he manages to stop Marquez this time. It's probably going to sell pretty well with Manny's new fans and the back story.

        Its diffrent because pac doest have the skills may has
        Doest have the ring iq of may
        Doest have the size of may.

        Pac has always been a brawler and will always be one.
        His so call weight advantage many of you claim wont be a factor. Pac would look even ****** then jmm had he fought may.people for get may makes boxers look at thier worst.
        But if pac cant ko jmm he will lose a decesion.
        Jmm is going to counter the crap out of pac and rack up the points to a ud

            Floyd had a 5 inch reach advantage, about 2 inch height advantage, strength advantage, and at least 10 lbs. weight advantage over Marquez. This will not be the same case with Pac/Marquez.
            Marquez's punches from outside were inches short of the target and he looked slow against FMJ because FMJ took advantage of the reach difference by staying away from Marquez's range while keeping Marquez within his reach. That made it easier for FMJ to use his pull-counter and counter punching more effective.
            The strength advantage became more apparent whenever Marquez tried to close the distance. FMJ simply smothered most of his attempts with the use of his superior strength.

              there is absolutely no difference between the two fights, only that Floyd laid waste to Marquez and made it look easy. Pacquiao is a fully fledged welterweight, as is Mayweather, Marquez has had to jump up from Lightweight to Welterweight to fight both of them

              There is no difference, only in the eyes of *******s. Floyds win will look all the more impressive if Pacquiao struggles or loses with Marquez. If Pacquiao beats JMM, then *******s will claim his victory is better or worth more blah blah blah
              Correction. No difference only in the eyes of Floyd fans. Look at the stats of all three and see all the differences.
