Comments Thread For: Juan Manuel Marquez Lays Down Terms For Pacquiao Bout

[MikeRo1972]

How the hell does this clown say he wants 3 impartial judges then before finishing his thought demands 1 Mexican and 1 Philipino among the 3 judges (???). How is that impartial? Furthermore JMM is in no position to demand any damn thing, period.

It amazes me that this dude hires a busted PED abusing conditioning coach who changed his name to try and get back into the sports industry is busted by HBO, then comes into the Pacquiao fight bigger than Manny suddenly putting on huge muscles to his small frame at the age of 39 yet no one asks any questions. Let's not even get into the dive his opponent took in Rd 1 of his tune up fight. This dude is as dirty as they come.

This guy is as suspect as Manny himself, making demands...GTFOH

This guy ducked a lot of fighters. Khan, Maidana, Morales, Rios, Judah... even Gesta.

Arum offered him Morales, Rios, Judah and actually ready to give him Gesta, which JMM picked. But, as usual, JMM was asking for a price equivalent to a more popular Morales fight.

And now he has the nerve to call the shots in the JMM4 as if it is sure to happen. I probably won't mind a fourth fight, but his fighting bums and strangers pisses me. And he gets a pass for it.

Don't want to see this fight. People want to see Pac vs Floyd, not Pac vs JMM for the fourth time.

Jmm isnīt in a position to make demands?. Fact: Pacīs ego was so hurt that he was asking for a rematch as soon as the fight ended. That gives Jmm good leverage.

i swear to science! if pacquiao fights marquez again ill be pissed. the 3 fights have been very good and im sure a 4th would be very good aswell. FIGHT FLOYD or dont fight at all.

[bojangles1987]

Texas? Seems like a great idea Marquez. No chance to get robbed there!

LMAO, I thought the same thing.

These two could certainly pack Cowboys Stadium though.

That's what I thought, but nobody really seems to care..... the age part.
As for the fight, it's not being made with those conditions

Pacman is a religious person now, so "ego" doesn't mean anything to him.

Pac was asked in the post fight interview if he would give JMM a rematch. What is he supposed to say?

Arum is the one pushing for a fourth fight. Pac's fights always rely on Arum's input. Since Marquez's recent behavior has been pissing off Arum, ie, pricing himself out and rejecting Arum's offer to fight at the Cowboy's Stadium, JMM's plan for a fourth fight is in jeopardy.

Manny Lost and guys like you are having a hard time accepting it....sad

Yea we're not the one setting terms for a 4th fight lol!!!

Losing Respect For JMM; Blaming Vegas & Judges: Weak

I thought he was better than that. The bottom line is this: JMM, you didn't do enough to win. You weren't convincing enough. You didn't have Pacquiao on the run. You didn't stagger him or knock him down. You weren't beating him to the punch. Your ring generalmanship wasn't anymore dominate than Manny's. And you're fighting the Champion. As far as Boxing goes back, unless it's very obvious, if all things are equal, or very close to equal, the champ gets the nod, they get the decision. JMM has had the same kind of victories. If you can't knock the champ down or out, and your efforts aren't clear cut who dominated, you don't win. So what you're saying JMM is you'd love to have the 4th fight in Mexico where you think the judges will help you win. You want to stack the deck in your favor, getting all the help you can get. Texas is close enough to Mexico you think you can get the same judge assistance. I didn't hear you say you'd like to fight Manny in Atlantic City? I didn't hear you mention fighting in Dubai, or Madison Square Garden. You don't hear Manny asking to fight in the Phillipenes, to sway votes because he's a god there. The bottom line is JMM can't convincingly beat Manny. That's weak JMM. Why don't you quit crying for a 4th fight and go make a massive payday fighting Erik Morales in Texas Stadium. The truth is you don't think you can beat him, then you have no shot for a 4th Pacquiao fight. Morales should be given another shot rather than JMM.
