    I like Martinez: BUT rematching Junior is like Floyd rematching Marquez for $$$

    I'm actually pretty disappointed in the rematch. The first fight was OK and it was only OK due to the last round taking it from "not main event worthy" to "OK" status.

    Imagine Mayweather rematching Marquez? The outcry against Floyd "Cherypicking" a guy he already dominated would be insane, and Marquez even has more of an argument for a rematch against Mayweather than Chavez does against Martinez.

    Sexy is my boy but I won't be purchasing the rematch with JR.

      There are actually a lot of [dumb] people who think this new more muscular Marquez is a better version than the 2009 one and would be more successful. But you are right, those same ******s would cry against the fight if Floyd picks Marquez. Floyd would calm that hype down quickly, they know it. These dumb fans just like to talk sh-t but they don't really mean more than half the sh-t say. They're all trolls. We all know who they are too.

        That would be the worst. It'd be fun to dig up all the pacquiao fan posts though and see how they believe Marquez would beat Floyd now with Memo in his corner

          Martinez isn't a big draw like Mayweather so it would be wise financially to make the fight.

            Real good post right here. I agree with that.

              Martinez made even less against Chavez than against Macklin didn't he?

                I agree about it being a weak choice for Sergio. I almost feel bad for Jr because of the beating he's going to take. But, at this point in Sergio's career, I won't be too critical. He should be building that retirement money.

                  Yes but no one is going to pay and see him rematch Macklin.

                  Chavez on the other hand has his Mexican fan base that are still holding onto the act that he knocked Marinez down in the 12th - they will pay to see this fight.

                  Martinez is in the driving seat now so can negotiate a better deal.

                    I see what you're saying Money. So you're ok with the Martinez/JR fight and a possible Marquez/Mayweather fight?
