“I told someone before the fight that there was no way that Marquez was going to get the decision. No matter what he does, he’s not going to get the decision. There’s too much money on the table for Manny and Floyd. This is a fight that everybody has been clamoring about for 2 years. Now all the sudden, here was a chance for [Marquez] to actually kill that fight, but no matter what he did, they weren’t going to let him do that. The same thing happened with Bernard Hopkins and De La Hoya with Felix Sturm years ago. I mean, Felix Sturm, he didn’t beat De La Hoya. Even De La Hoya knew he lost. But the fight with Bernard Hopkins was already made. With that fight already made, De La Hoya couldn’t lose so what happened was De La Hoya got a decision win and the fight took place. The same thing happened here. Pacquiao got the majority decision win and the fight is still on the table. It’s lost its luster because of what happened with this fight, but it’s still on the table”.
“Pacquiao got the majority decision win and the fight is still on the table (...) It’s lost some of its luster because of what happened with this fight, but it’s still on the table. You got these Pacmaniacs… It doesn’t matter. They don’t care how bad he looks or anything. They think [Pacquiao] will kill Floyd. After this fight, I think that realistically they know. They know Floyd could be on his worst performance and beat Pac if he fights like that"
“See this is the thing that I think Bob Arum’s going to do. He’s in a position where he has to raise Manny’s stock back up. Manny was supposed to go out there and blowout Marquez and make Floyd look bad. He was supposed to do what he did with the Ricky Hatton fight. All these guys he fought after Floyd that he happened to stop or knockout. Bob’s caught in a bad situation now. He might let him go ahead and fight [Timothy] Bradley. I think he’ll beat Bradley, but if he looks bad, who’s going to care about him fighting Floyd at all? I mean, it’s going to be asinine. So basically now, he’s caught in a pickle..."
“People compare this person to that person. Floyd toyed with Marquez. That doesn’t necessarily mean that he will toy with Pacquiao, but chances are he will. Marquez is a boxer that’s not even as elusive as Floyd. I mean, if Manny had so much trouble getting off against Marquez, I can’t imagine Manny even coming close to Floyd..."
",,,I mean, it was a tough, tough, close fight but to be honest, I did think that Marquez won. But it doesn’t matter what I think because I’m being biased. But there are a whole bunch of other people that feel the exact same way that have no association with Floyd"
“My reason for saying that Marquez won the fight was because, in all honesty, he landed the more effective punches and he was throwing combinations. Pacquiao didn’t fight anything like himself.”
