Marquez Camp Wants More Money

[ProBox1]

Ignacio Beristain, the veteran manager of WBA and IBF Featherweight Champion Juan Manuel Marquez is warning that the much anticipated re-match between his fighter and Manny Pacquiao will be in serious jeopardy unless Top Rank starts to get a lot more realistic about the purse money on offer.

Beristain dropped the bombshell during a rigorous workout by Juan Manuel at the Gilberto Roman gym in Mexico City. Juan has been training since November and brushed aside the festive season holidays, even coming to the gym on Christmas Day!

Beristain is also single minded focused, but currently on the financial, rather than the physical aspect of the pending mega fight. He confided: “There are a lot of difficulties not just a few in the negotiations for Juan Manuel’s purse. Bob Arum’s son (Todd Du Boef) and Fernando Beltran are proving a bit difficult. I hope that by mid January, but no longer, we should have a deal concluded but if not I don’t think there’s going to be a fight.” [details]

Just like Winky asking more money from the Trinidad fight, JMM doesn't deserve it! No more excuses, just fight!

normally i would say WTF!

But Nacho Beristain is the man asking for his fighter and if he is asking.. then it must be something thats truely not fair. BTW he is asking top rank.

JMM tasted that power in the first fight and figures he should get paid top dollar to possibly lose his title to Pacquaio whom has become one of the most feared fighters in the division...

I don't think they are scared, but everyone in the boxing world has witnessed what happens when pacman lands a clean straight left. Look what pacman did to barrera in one fight compared to what morales, whom is on the P4P couldn't do to barrerra in 3 fights...

I think Barrera was 10x more prepared to fight Morales cause he hates him so much. No doubt that Pac has the hardest left in boxing p4p. The rematch would be something I would not miss. I think Barrera would make it better fight but Pac wins again this time a close fight if not a classic. I think Marquez and Morales can beat Pac cause they both know how to box especially Marquez. Pac still has that punchers chance though.

Beristain must be realistic. Murad/HBO was only dangling 900K to Pac for this fight and the guy was asking 1.5mill. Yeah he is the champion, but a JMM fight without Pacman will not generate the kind of moolah he is asking. In other words, it's Pacman who makes this rematch a wanna-see fight. So if JMM camp is asking for that amount of money, I don't see any reason why Pacman should receive less.
