Who is the reason why you will watch Pacman/JMM2?

[JaNnO]

Pac smacking Ledwaba around was a real surpirse and awakening for me, but mentioning Hussein, Sanchez, and 3K does not impress many boxing fans. Marquez showed in Fight #1 that he's leagues ahead of those guys.

And who JMM beat, if you ask me they were alp patsies...just to make him look good. And where he got his belts from....from chicken gainer and ageing medina?

if you're so adamant that jmm is better than pac, how come up to now pac is ahead of him in the p4p...and why did ring mag chose pac to be their feather champ, huh?

[Marjoh]

Huh? Of course I'm watching it because it's a fight between Pacquiao and Marquez.

[JOM'S]

i thought the question here is who is the reason you will watch PAC-JMM 2...

for me definetly its PAC I'll watch him against anybody...

and i won't watch JMM fight unless his figthing MAB or EM ...

[ELPacman]

I was thinking about this purse issue. JMM could be asking for more as his final payday. He wants the most he can get and leaves. JMM wanted fame and he got it after Pacman fight though now that he got it, I don't think he wants it anymore. He realizes the hell he has to go through to get the fame and would probably leave that to his counter parts, MAB and EM that probably enjoy it more. Even if JMM got famous through Manny, does that mean he will still be a huge hit with his fighting style? I mean cmon, it's the sleeper style that would make a non boxing fan hate the sport even more. See Barrera is counter puncher also though he isn't afraid to go all out more often that you wouldn't even think he is a counter puncher. JMM plays a ***** until he sees his opponent is finally broken down or opened up in around the 2nd half of the fight. Very boring style/fighter. Even if he won, his fighting style is for ******* So theres my excuse if he should win already That's not saying I can't see skill when I see it.

Style makes fights.

on feb 26th, you will see a much improved pac vs. the predictable and passive counter-puncher jmm. i will take pacman anytime against jmm, but that doesn't mean i'm disrespecting jmm...am i?

Totally agree that Pac and JMM's styles make this rematch very exciting, not just Pac and not just Marquez. They are contrasts in style, but both are effective. One style must yield to the other.

No disrespect Janno. Good to see that at least one Pac fan can give Marquez props for his performance. However, I don't expect Marquez at 31-yrs age will be suddenly "old" in the rematch. Both Pac and Marquez have never been to war like they did in Fight #1. One war won't make either of them old quickly. The rematch shouldn't either.

Regarding "predictability", we'll have to talk again after Feb 26 and see what actually happens. My prediction is JMM will have more tools in his box than Manny and will out-point him. I expect Fight of The Year.

Who is the reason why you will watch Pacman/JMM2?

I'm watching to see if pacman gets knockd out with an unppercut and a hook while lunging in or if marquez finally gets slept by one of those devasting straight lefts of pac's...

Ha ha! That is what tracy is telling me in the other thread.

Look, for me personally, JMM is the draw. But, it takes two to put on a great fight, period. Either one of them in the ring by themselves would look pretty silly shadow boxing, and I dont think anybody would pay to see that.
I will give both fighters credit and say that its both of them and their last fight that draws peoples interest..not just one of them. Together they made a fantastic 'first fight', and I expect the rematch to be similar (minus the knockdowns)

According to your question, the majority said JMM was the reason, and almost everyone (almost, I said) that picked Manny are his die-hard fans...(most of you have a part of his name in your user name..so do you really count?)

Oh, I also think its amusing that you'd start an acual thread on this issue cause I posted that JMM had alot of American fans

To say that JMM got famous cause of Pac is rediculous! just cause you werent a fan doesnt mean he wasnt well known in the States. And what's this about his style being for *******?
God, it's called BOXING!!! Having natural born skill and talent, and knowing how to use them just makes him a great technician...nothing ***** about that at all. Not all of us watch boxing just for knockouts...some of us like to see a true technician ply his craft, and I'm no ***** for it either.
I think it's sad that some of you cant pump Manny up without putting JMM down. Both are good fighters that bring something different to the table...so putting JMM down to brag about your boy is really not necessary, and calling a true BOXERS style "*****" gives the impression that you dont know a thing about boxing (other than knockouts, that is)
