Does Marquez deserve a 50/50 split with Pacquiao? [Poll]

[pistol whip]

not at all .. pac is the bigger name , not marquez .. 40% should be the most jmm gets...that'd still triple his biggest payday to date...

Yeah but Marquez could always walk away and it's pac who has to have that on his Legacy while Marquez walks away satisfied with a feather in his cap. How much is that worth to get JMM back in the ring?

Given the closeness of the competition throughout the course of their 4 bouts (the conclusion of the 4th fight aside) and the fact that Marquez puts a ton of Mexican asses in seats whenever he fights, I don't see how anybody could make a claim that Marquez doesn't deserve 50% of the purse split.

Well, without making everybody else piss their pants with laughter, I mean.

If Manny and Top Rank want Marquez back in the ring for a 5th fight then they're going to have accept the fact that Marquez is Manny's equal, not just in terms of trading punches, but in terms of generating intrest.

Of course man. Marquez has all the power right now.

There were more Mexican Marquez fans then Paklas at their weight in and at the fight. Even Jim mentioned how it was a Marquez crowd that night. The noble peoples champion who only fights for legacy and his people is caring more about money then his own legacy and giving someone a fair deal. WARRR Pacquiao'do

Easy simple answer,yes he does deserve it..

[Mayweather41-0]

Hell yea Marquez deserves 50% did u not remember what happened in the last fight when he left Pacquiao unconscious face first on the canvas

The only reason a 5th fight makes sense for JMM is if he picks up the bigger check this last time, and a very large one.

[fishscale]

On one hand, JMM does deserve a 50-50 split, on the other, Pacquiao was kind enough to give this guy 3 rematches when he could have just left it at the second fight. This was when Pacquiao was in his superstar position aswell with an unlimited amount of options available to him.

I guess I am in the small minority of those that voted no, Pacquiao should get more. If you are going by the history of their fights with each other then of course Marquez deserves 50%. It does not work that way these days. The fighter who brings in the most paying customers gets paid the most money. Few would argue that Pacquiao brings more pay for view customers to a fight than Marquez does. If Pacquiao was to fight Bradley or Alvarado those fights would make much more money than fights with Marquez fighting Bradley or Alvarado would make. Pacquiao is a bigger draw than Marquez and that's just the way it is.
