Comments Thread For: Team Pacquiao: We Are Not Desperate For Marquez Fight

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Michael Koncz, the adviser to eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao (54-5-2, 38KOs), tells BoxingScene.com that his boxer is not desperate for a fifth meeting with Mexican rival Juan Manuel Marquez (55-6-1, 40KOs).

After three controversial ending, Marquez secured the most clear-cut victory in last December's fourth showdown - when he knocked out Pacquiao with a single punch in the sixth round.

As recently as last week, Marquez continued to downplay a fifth fight with Pacquiao. He told reporters he saw "no reason" for a fifth fight to happen and would rather challenge Timothy Bradley for the WBO welterweight title. [Click Here To Read More]

That's the correct answer to not seem bitter and desperate.

So if Pac rematches Bradley what else is there for Marquez that makes any sense?.. Tim Bradley will take the bigger payday bottom line.

desperate? he should be avoiding marquez like the plague before he gets put back to bed.

In other words Marquez asked for too much money and they're telling him they are prepared to walk away from the table.

What bothers me about koncz here is still here we are 4 mos. later and he and his team are still sayin lucky punch man enough still should we assume every time pacquiao put Marquez in his but was lucky gimme a break no luck about it these guys are both technician's it's just Marquez is better let's keep it real couple of them shots Marquez took would've ko'd the average fighter koncz and company should just get over it but don't worry boys I'm sure this all a negotiation tactic truth be told he dont need to fight pacquiao again but it's the money out there for him and the fans are sti interested.
