Marquez became insane due to high altitude training?

[riz]

well the thing is most ppl thought it was controversial decision in the first match, so pacqiuio wud be the champ. i think he shud get higher than 900 000 but 1.5 mil, a bit much

[ELPacman]

Ya know, it's funny. If Juan had no belts and that fight had 3 knockdown rule in effect, we would have had an easier outcome

[m00ks]

The CHAMPIONS deserve more money. Not people who can KO people more often. You said earlier that Marco A. Barrera and Erik Morales didnt deserve 2 mil? are you sick? They are 2 of the top 10 fighters on the planet, they deserve millions of dollars for dedicating themselves to the sport and becoming as good as they are. Let the paper champs ask for more money, they arent going to get it and they know it. Bottom line....JMM is more accomplished than Pac, and he deserves more than Pac because he has the belts, and he's had them for a while. He's an accomplished fighter. Other than MAB, who has Pac beat?

Please tell me how Marquez is more accomplished than Pac. Cuz he has a couple of belts? Rate the level of his popularity before he fought Pacquiao... close to nil. Marco and Erik always had the light and JMM was always in the shadows. Pac is a champ in 2 divisions, 3 if you count the ringbelt. Beating Marco Antonio Barrera ain't a walk in the park and it's certainly a HUGE accomplishment for ANY boxer. More of an accomplishment than beating a shot Medina and Gainer. Tell me who has JMM beat that can match Barrera's skills?...Thank you

Marquez is asking for 1.5M dollars to fight Manny "PacMan the Destroyer" Pacquiao. Is he insane? I don't know why he would ask for something like this. This amount is reserve for fighters who have power in their punches or excitement in their punches. Against Salido,he did not show excitement and power.

There are two reason I could think of at this moment:
1. He might be jealous of his countrymen Barrera and Morales for getting maybe more than 2M dollars. I don't even believe Barrera and Morales deserved those amount for the reason that they don't usually knock down each other in those three fights. They might have fooled their sponsors.

2. Marquez might be thinking of aborting the fight with Manny "PacMan the Destroyer" Pacquiao. He knows he's not gonna get those amount, that's why he asked for it so that if he doesn't get it, he won't fight.

Well, I have read that he demands to be paid more or an equal amount to Pacman's pay, and not less. The current contract stipulates .9MLN for Pacman and .7 for JMM.

I have never read that he actually demanded 1.5MLN.

The bargaining that JMM does is worthwile and should be respected: JMM is facing the toughest battle of his career, there is a huge downside to a loss, his belts are on the line, etc.

LOL that wasn't as witty as you thought sorry.

Well ok who has Manny beat. 39 fighters more notably, Thai hero Sasakul, Ledwaba, Julio, undefeated Lucero.
In any case give a **** who else he beat, he beat Barrera, you know, the guy who beat Erik Morales about a month and half ago .
Again, make an argument for JMM. Peace.

[m00ks]

I do agree that he should get more than Pac but 1.5 million? No, he's just not that big of a draw for himself to be paid that kind of money.

Nicely said mooks, throw in there the two dirty fighters the undefeated Nadel Hussein (before Pac) and the tough hombre Agapito Sanchez.

No, no, no,no,no. why. There are a lot of people called champs but those are just regular champ. they don't get paid that much. But there are those champs that are truly champs like tyson in his hay days. Champs that do knock outs in the opening bell,a knock out artist, very exciting champs who initiate punches. These very exceptional champs are the one who deserves very high amount of dough - in millions. Keywords: excitement, knockdowns, knockouts, power, speed. But not a regular champ who just react when thrown a punch. Otherwise, all those who rate no. 1 champ in all the alphabet soups will demand millions. Period.

i like that point! you deserve good karma for that.

i think Nautilus is right. this si the only logical reason for me why JMM would ask for such purse. its just that he knows Pac will kill him the next time around. that's why he's already killing himself up at 10,000 feet and taht Pac is a tough opponent for him so if ever he lose his title, at least he has the money.
