Comments Thread For: Nacho: Marquez Should Face Pacquiao, Not Bradley or Rios

[torosboxing75]

I want to see it, lets do it, #5 two real All Time Greats!

[BuckToothed]

thats all fine and dandy but why were they frontin the whole time they were promoting the fight saying this is the one to settle the battle? why didnt they say ok this is it unless marquez wins im just tired of it whats the 5th one gonna be this is the one to end all fights this time were super super super serious. PS unless pac wins then we have to give marquez another crack at it. id love to see the 5th fight to but i would rather see them both fight someone new in between at least. and lets not kid ourselves the real reason pacman gave marquez rematches was because everyone non bias thought he lost lets not act like it was out of him being this nice sportsmanship guy

I hear you, my take on the matter is if the 4th fight turned into yet another close decision for either, I think that would have been the end of it.
But since Manny got KTFO while being successful in hurting JMM before the stoppage, plans changed. People are interested again, and will pay to see it again.

Similar to the Bradley vs Provodnikov fight, it was supposed to be a tune-up for Bradley that he was supposed to win comfortably.
But after he got battered from pillar to post and had to take a knee on the final round, even though he won a close decision, people are now interested for a rematch which I'm certain was not planned.

Marquez isn't going to get 50/50 as much as he or anybody else feels like he deserves it.
If he fights Rios/Alvarado/Bradley
He can demand a higher purse.... although he might get opposition from Bradley.
But he could probably pick the location as well

Even if jmm doesn't get the bigger share if he was to fight pac again. But he will still be making more compare to if he was to fight Bradley or rios. That was nachos point.

nacho ain't dumb. Paq brings way more money to the Nacho than anyone else.

Not only that, Pac can bring more CHEESE to Nacho more than any 7-11 fights for Marquez 24/7! hehehe

If Marquez VS Pacquiao Bothers You, Then Don't Watch The Fight

Bradley is no champion. He lost badly to Pacquiao, and was the recipient to a fix. Bradley got beat up every round by Prov, whom he thought he was hand picking an easier fight to defend against, when Garcia, Maidana, Matthysee were all available. He wouldn't even fight a smaller Gamboa. Rios is not a smart fighter, and just got beat himself. Fighting Pacquiao is a no brainer. If that bothers you, don't watch. Bradley broke his ankle trying to run from Pacquiao. He complained about a concussion or amnesia or both and how dizzy he was following a beat down by Prov. He's no champion. He had to fight for his life the last time out, because there was no place to hide. He took a standing eight count in the last round... even he said, "I took a knee being smart... either take a knee and let the clock run out, of get taken out". Say what! That is no champion. He's a horrible opponent that doesn't like to fight or get hit. It would be another lousy fight to see him fight JMM.

It's simple, if Marquez is looking to get paid, he's fighting Pacquiao. If he wants to add to his legacy, he fights Bradley. Rios just lost to Alvarado so forget him.

Bradley lost his last 2 fights. There is no legacy in this fight.

What's everyone getting so upset about, JMM vs Pacquiao, Rios, and Bradley are all good fights for different reasons.

I'd be happy with any of them. JMM-Bradley is the most interesting of the three, but JMM-Rios would be a fun fight too. JMM-Pac 5 is more appealing than JMM-Pac 4 was. It was a great fight while it lasted and I don't see any reason why they shouldn't do it again. Two ATGs, either of whom could win by knockout, massive public interest, beats most fights that are going to be made this year.

[medium-deek]

Nacho is only thinking about himself and what he would get in training fees. I'm sure Marquez don't need the money as he probably has a few million in the bank.

If you have been following boxing news, you would know that Marquez wants to win a title at 147 before he retires.

Who does he need to fight in order to get that title?


I rest my case.

[New England]

marquez leaves nacho, citing irre

nacho retires.

marquez hooks up with roach. is stopped. retires.

they enter the hall together after reconciling over cigars and port wine.



i hope it doesn't happen, but i've got a bad feeling about this.
