Comments Thread For: Marquez Writing a Book on How He "Beat Pacquiao"

[richardt]

pacquiao should write a book on how to learn to fight.being one dimensional just does'nt work.

That is one of the top 10 most ignorant posts ever! Guess every fighter Pac ever faced didn't know how to fight either?

[pvj]

So Pacquiao is 1 dimensional? He must be really damn good for being one dimensional after beating DLH, Cotto, Shane, Clottey, Hatton, Marg.. Oh wait but now your gonna say he weight drains his opponents..

First off, I think Manny is a great fighter, but his marketing value was even greater. He single handedly took a foreign fanbase and made them main stream. Because of that, he got the benefit of some close calls (minus the Bradley debacle) and as a result will probably be a little overrated when all said and done. As for the names you mentioned:

Oscar was 35 and lost 4 of his last 7 fights (including one to Manny)
Shane was 40 and didn't manage to win 1 of his last fights (including one to Manny)
Clottey is a B fighter, not quite a resume enhancer
Hatton was one of the greatest KO's I'd ever seen, but a B+ fighter at best.
Marg went 1-3 once he wasn't allowed to cheat (including a loss to Manny)
Cotto was a good win and very legitimate, close enough in age, although coming off a horrific loss in which part of his heart was taken from a guy who probably cheated.

Again, Manny has been a great fighter, but the list speaks more to the greatness of Bob Arum (cringe when I say that) and his ability to promote and make a superstar with superb timing and fighter selection.

I think Marquez won two fights and the other was a draw; just how I scored it. However, if this article is true, it's beyond a bit obsessive, but probably lucrative so who am I to judge.

As for a 4th fight, I'm with most of you, while they've been exciting fights, WHY? neither fighter is good enough to beat the other convincingly, so regardless to who is awarded the "official" victory, the other fighter and his fanbase will cry foul play. Been there, seen that!

I believe this is the reason that he is only releasing 5000 copies. It is not a venture to make money from directly. It is his tactic to get Pacquiao to choose him instead.

This is just sad to hear though even if that is the reason. I can't help but think that Marquez is obsessed with Pacquiao. I remember in an interview he mentioned that if he had one he would be where Pacquiao is. I completely disagree. Pacquiao beating De La Hoya, and even Cotto were the fights that made him a household name. Yet at the same time he appears to see Pacquiao as his hero. He even mentioned having a political career at some point last year.

Four division world champion Juan Manuel Márquez has written a book about his trilogy with Filipino rival Manny Pacquiao. The book, called "Yes, I beat you Pacquiao," will be presented this Sunday at the international book fair at the Politecnico. Marquez notes that his book is more than just Pacquiao. He details portions of his career and the qualities that made him one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in boxing.

"[This book is about] how I worked to achieve what I have achieved, with character, courage, and the desire that must be there to get what you want," said Marquez.

"The book which I wrote, and obviously I was helped a little with editing, was based on what I did and what I did to succeed. I speak of discipline, responsibility, and to do so in a book is very important because it's a great way for people to know a little bit more about me."

This first edition, Juan Manuel explained, will be printed with five thousand copies.

Fuck, you guys really need to learn how marketing works. Aside from die hard Boxing/Marquez fans, do you really think anyone would buy this book if it was titled "Marquez: The Life of A Boxer"? Sex sells, so does controversy... The title is just a marketing tool. I doubt this book is just about beating El Pacquiao..

[denmb]

Hey JMM.. your using Pacman's name to earn money. also want to gain attention.. your such a loser....

[GRUSTLER]

I would have picked a better book title since he said it is also about his career and how he worked hard to get to where he is at now but all in all. Marquez has a right to say he did beat Pacquiao because homie got robbed twice.
