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

[cantor5150]

It is just too funny that everything Pacman & his team wanted from Mayweather and didnt want has backfire on them with Marquez from drug testing accusation to purse split man I love it! Everything that Floyd demanded for the fight, the Pac fans would say so many hateful things but now that Pac team is doing it to Marquez what Floyd did to Pac, Pac fans now have a change of heart and want to hate on Marquez for such demands haha I love it jajaja fuuny thing that what Floyd fans used to make sense for Floyd demands now Pac man fans want to use it, Pac beat many of Floyd left over opponents and now Pac fans are using Floyd fans left over arguments!

The issue is the alternative both sides have to coming to an agreement. That's what power is in negotiations, who has has the best fallback plan if negotiations fail.

A major reason Pac-Mayweather never happened was because both sides had really sweet alternatives if the negotiations fell through. Manny went on to do 1M+ PPV buys against Margarito, Mosley, and Marquez. Floyd did the same against Mosley, Ortiz, and Cotto.

When that's your fallback option you're not really under much pressure to get the job done.

The reality here is what JMM's alternatives are. How many PPV buys could he realistically do against a Bradley or a Rios? If he could do 500,000, then with the power he would have over a Rios or a Bradley in terms of the split might mean it's worth his while to go that route. The difference between that and a Pacquiao fight might not be enough for him to offer Manny the 5th fight.

Is 500k realistic? I don't know, it seems high given that Pacquiao only did 700k against Bradley.

wont happen, pacquiao has the say, besides if it's true that pacquiao will fight in macau, then it doesnt matter whom he will fight, he'll get the same purse, dont lie to yourself, pacquiao always been the draw, i'll be surprise if marquezvsbradley will make it to 600k ppv buys

THIS HAS NOTING TO DO WITH BRADLEY MORON. this is about Pac vs JMM the next figth will be bigger .Pac has to pay if he wants his nuts back and his custom made figther of the decade belt back LOL JMM doesnt give a **** ass what Pac wants he got the ko he wanted. Its up to Pac to pay or live in shame with his ass up on the mat

Marquez deserves to get 50-50 but I don't think boxing business works in that way. Example, Bradley beat Pac but can't get any flies in his last fight so did Marquez as he claimed he beat Pac in all those fights, what ppv numbers he got on his other fights he fought?

[Hougigo]

Does Marquez deserve it?
Of course
Will he get it?
Nope

[Pacquiao'd]

And people still think it was Floyd holding up the fight. bwahahaha.

[Capncrunch]

He deserves it in terms of work but in terms of business side he won't get it.

[-MAKAVELLI-]

Pretty ridiculous.

Like I said before, Marquez by himself on a PPV vs someone like Bradley would be lucky to see 500k buys.

That PED cheat doesn't deserve 50-50 just for landing a lucky punch. Manny is still the bigger draw no matter what Marquez does.

the market will dictate the split. it's not fair, but that's how it will go. in a perfect world, marquez 60/40 at least, but this is a business, and not run based on principals.

the amount of money marquez gets will be based on the amount of money manny could get without him.


i don't know what those numbers would be, but i do believe that manny's drawing power still outweighs marquez in terms of PPV buys.

yes, marquez brought the majority of the fans to their last fight, but the gate isn't what generate the huge numbers in a megafight. those are generated in PPV sales. 70 bucks a pop, 500,000 to 1,000,000 times or more.
