Pacquiao wants another fight, it's all down to Marquez (and of course, money).

What does Floyd have to do with this?!
The point was that it happens to the best of them.
Yes, I would have preferred that Manny won but as a boxing fan, Manny vs Marquez #4 was an awesome fight. Wished it went longer as it was high drama.
As for Floyd, it was an example of boring, no risk fight that has nothing much to offer. That is, it was the complete opposite of what we witnessed earlier this month.

If Marquez " lost " the 3rd officially, then Pacquiao lost to Bradley.
Marquez won the 3rd fight 8-4, it could have even been 9-3..... I had to try real hard to give Pac 4 rounds in that fight. And the rounds Marquez won were clear, whereas Manny looked lost at times. I had the Bradley closer at 7-5 or 8-4.
This is a ridiculous discussion, Marquez CLEARLY won that fight. I actually think he won the first 3 fights, but only the first 2 are debatable.
4-0

It happens. It is how a fighter rises after that which matters.

Two good posts.....
This is an excellent post.....
Originally posted by Marvellous1 View PostFirst off, Pacquiao certainly did not "give" Marquez 3 matches prior to the latest. The first one, Marquez gave Pacquiao a shot at HIS title. So lets forget that misinformation. Second, Pacquiao didn't "give" any rematches from the goodness of his heart. The fact that he couldn't beat Marquez decisively made those rematches inveitable. Controversial endings and market forces brought those rematches about (controversy alone wasn't enough to get a Pacquiao/Bradley rematch, was it?). Third, the fourth match wouldn't have happened if Cotto had agreed to play his part in making Manny look like superman again by accepting a catchweight fight (AGAIN). That's what Top Rank wanted, not another encounter with Marquez. Seeing as their weren't any decent options after Cotto told them to "do one", Marquez it was. They thought him being a little bit older might mean they could finally beat him. This fourth fight was billed as the one to end all arguments, all controversy and prove who was the better man by a decisive win, even a KO if either man could get it. One man did, so what's the problem?
Arum wants another match because he knows it's a money spinner. He doesn't care who gets seriously hurt and would happily flog both men to death if it mean more money for him.
Pacquiao fans seem to want another match because they can't seem to deal with the way this last fight ended. Not in their wildest dreams did they think it would be Pacquiao lying face down on the canvas. How much money either makes is nothing to us really as doesn't affect our lives so talking about it is moot. People should just be honest and admit that they invested so much in Pacquiao in some weird sycophantic way and can't deal with his being planked. We've had everything from "lucky punches" to "PEDs! PEDs!". So there just HAS to be another match where he can get revenge, right?
Well, I think it's all in Marquez' hands. He doesn't owe anybody anything and has nothing to prove. If he feels like he can do it again and wants to. Cool. If not, both men should just go their separate ways and be happy with giving the fans a great quadrilogy. Pac's fans need to accept it or get some counselling or something.
