Comments Thread For: Pacquiao vs. Marquez November Clash is Gaining Steam

If it's going to take place in Mexico city, then you best believe that there's no way they're going to rob JMM.

anyone but Mayweather right bob?

I guess this means Pac vs JMM at 140 since Pac isn't the WW Champ anymore and was killing himself to gain weight? lol

Hey miss Jackson, remember.... Floyd's in jail....and after he comes out, he'll need a "preparation fight"...

Then, 70%-30% PPV revenues.....
Then, Pacquiao can't train in the Phillipines...

You know the storyline pretty well...

I agree. Pacquiao vs Marquez in three fights has already proved that Marquez will always be the victor. Marquez has Pacs number. I would prefer watching a rematch pac vs Bradley. I believe Bradley lost the fight but you know what? He figured out Pacquiao in the 11th and 12th round. I think Pac knows this and feels that bradley will out box him in a rematch. Pac is scared of Bradley now.

Where did this guy came from?
Scared of the guy he almost KO'd? RIGHT?

If you can prove it in paper that Pac lost to JMM 3times, then I agree with and if not STFU!!!Troll!

Marquez should get more money this time since he already beat Pacquiao 3x and Pac just lost to Bradley.

Make the fight in Mexico, Carlos will take care of the back-end. Pac can retire after the fight.

I think that this is a very smart business move on Top Rank's and especially Bob Arum's part. Right now, Team Bradley is in the driver's seat and holds most of the cards at the bargaining table. They will probably demand no less than a eight figure $10M payday for that rematch with Pacquiao. At this time, Bradley's stocks are just too high. Perhaps a couple of losses from now, then perhaps Top Rank would be willing to sit down and negotiate a new deal with him that is more favorable to his company and especially Team Pacquiao. This similar scenario reminds me back in 2000, when Mosley defeated De La Hoya and was promised a guaranteed purse of $10Million by Bob Arum for a rematch but it was never exercised until several losses later to Vernon Forrrest, when Shane's stock value had begun to drop. It was only then, when Arum was willing to sit down and negotiate a rematch with him; Basically offering him the same deal as the original, which was about $4Million.

I totally disagree with this statement....i think the rematch with Bradley isn't happening for two reason.

1. The WORLD knows that Manny beat Bradley...Manny has nothing to prove.

2. Some people think that the fight is fix (mostly casual fans) due to them announcing a November 10Th before the fight even stated. Top Rank will only fuel the "fix" rumor by going forward with this.


Bradley has no bargaining power because the majority of people thinks he lost.....he needs the rematch more than Manny does for credibility purposes.

You need three things to beat Bradley - Speed, Power and STAMINA. If you have these three things, Bradley style won 't work on you. You have to beat able to beat him to the punch and when you beat him to the punch, EVERY PUNCH must hurt him and most importantly you have to be able to sustained this for 12 rounds....If not, Bradley will beat you all day.

So lets see: a Mayweather fight would be perfect for June 9th, then perfect for November, Bob Arum says.

This is going pretty much exactly like most people thought: Bradley in June, JMM in November. Let me guess - Bradley will probably be lined up again after Pac fights JMM.
