Marquez became insane due to high altitude training?

[BoxingAnalyst]

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?

Yes, Champs deserve more money, but you gotta put it in perspective. but Among champs there are elite champs especially honored by Ring Magazine, the boxing bible. There are champs for several boxing organizations. And if you compare all those champs from several boxing organization, one or two of these are really elite and exceptional. That one or those two who are exciting deserves more dough than a regular champ who got the belt from lame fighters.

The other 2 that you have mentioned who are the 2 of top ten fighters, yes they were/are top ten then, and even then, they were only fighting amongs themselves - meaning no outside challenge to really prove how good they are/were. But of course I have to give them credit, they were good then or even now, it's just that you can't really judge how good one is playing until a better fighter comes along and set a benchmark on what is truly superb. Peace.

This fight will create huge revenues for a feather fight, simply because both fighters will be putting "butts in the seats". The revenues will greatly exceed Pac's $900K and Marquez's purse combined.

$900K is a very big purse for Manny, or anyother challenger without a strap and limited pedigre (exluding an obviously faded MAB). But, he should also be paid according to his appeal, which is astronomical for now.

Marquez will not get greedy and allow this fight to slip away. Simply because he wants Manny's head.

Did you just call MAB faded?

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.

Of course Marquez is going to over ask in money, he has to so that they can settle on a bigger quantity than 750K if he asked for 1 million Top Rank would probably give him 850K.

And he might not have showed excitement or power against Salido... but he showed power, and excitement against the man he will be facing and is asking for the money to fight against. So if its reserved for those fighters like you say then the is in all his right.

Erik easily deserved more than what he was getting. He was risking it all. He had unified titles against both recognized superfeatherweight champs. 3 division champ. How can u say they only fight each other. Sells a lot PPVs unlike other fighters making 4million + fighting unamed fighters..

Pacquiao saw it when he was stunned in the fifth.

Pacquiao saw it when he was stunned in the fifth.

oohhh right right right. Pacquaio raised his hand after to say he was ok . Now I remember. Cuz I thought what you meant was power ala 3 knockdowns in the first round.

[Chups]

Pacquiao saw it when he was stunned in the fifth.

That's it? Stunned? Every boxer gets stunned when directly hit. A direct hit with Pac = knockdown/knockout or stretchers


To those posting that belted champions should be compensated more....you are wrong. It never happens in boxing...the more famous (or exciting) boxer gets the mulah. So many examples.... DLH vs. Hopkins. DLH vs. Sturm. Morales vs. Chavez. Rocky Balboa vs. Clubber Lang 2..well u get my drift

So you guys think Winky (2 belted) should get more money than Felix (no belt)?? Thought so.

no i ment at 2:05 to go in the round where Marquez connected with a right and Pacquiao wobbled to his left. His right hand stayed where it was.. there was no raising of the arms.
