SERIOUS QUESTION: If Marquez Did NOT "Deserve" a Pacquiao Fight 2 Years Ago, Why...

[Hi-Dro]

is this a serious question though? Marquez was offered the fight after the Mayweather fight failed to happen the first time in early 2010, and Schaeffer said that Pacquiao had to take OST against any GBP fighter, which included Marquez, thus the fight fell through. I believe money was also an issue.

Please read what Pacquiao said . He said that he didn't believe fans are interested in a third fight.

When GBP made an offer, Manny didn't negotiate. He simply said "that's too high" and walked away.

That is why I posted the BoxingScene articles. As fact.

Not opinions, FACT.

By the way, LOL @ "as a staff, company and record label..."

It was TR/Pac's camp that wanted JMM as replacement for Mayweather, but GBP wanted OST and 50/50 for that fight as well (probably to keep Pac at the Mayweather negotiation table).
Then arum set up an in-house fight with Clottey... I think that was the beginning of the end for GBP and TR.

May I have a link for that , please? That would HAVE to be Dec 2009/Jan 2010.

Thanks in advance.

When will people understand it's not about deserving anymore. Boxing is more of a business than a sport right now.
