Freddie Roach: Marquez Wants About 50 - 50, it's a Bit Outrageous

[redwhip]

That's really the bottom line. It seems to me that he can get over a big loss and can afford to forget about redeeming himself.

Like I said in another thread, beating a superstar doesn't make you one, ie, Tarver beating RJJ, Holyfield beating Tyson, etc. Lennox Lewis pursued a past prime Tyson and Tyson was still accorded the proper respect by being given his due.

Actually Holyfield became HUGE after the Tyson win. The money he made in the rematch jumped 3 times to what he was paid in the first bout iirc


I think it's safe to say Marquez is a superstar, though, even without the Holyfield comparison

Well, I think it's over. Pacquiao is set to fight either Rios or Alvarado.

50-50 is crazy talk, without Manny or Floyd JMM does nothing PPV wise (see his 2nd fight against Juan Diaz PPV numbers. Terrible.)
I think JMM should fight Bradley, Manny takes a tune up fight against Rios, and the winners fight next year in Pacquiao's career swan song.

sorry guys but team pacquiao not even worried not fighting marquez, you should be glad that marquez wont be ktfo by pac in V

Hell yeas! Rios/alvarado/Bradley then!

[juandabomb]

he deserves to get paid, he has the support from the major boxing food group

[rico ward]

So he knocks Manny clean out and doesn't deserve 50-50?

[Pain~Lucy]

take it or go fight bum rios in china.....it's the fight i know roach wants anyways.....his fighters have all been looking like utter crap lately even when the fights are crap in his favor. roach is probably the most overrated trainer in boxing.

oh my god! rios is a bum!

I don't think Pac could knock Marquez out in 2 or 3 more fights

Pacquiao... do you want the revenge or the money?

If you don't care about winning then fight someone else and keep the bigger split.

You can also say, Marquez do you want to win another KO and make tons of money OR fight Bradley and make less?

Goes both ways dude.
