Comments Thread For: Marquez Discusses Rejection of a Fifth Pacquiao Fight

[Marvellous1]

Why not double the satisfaction and pride, for double your career highest payday? I'd understand if this was an unwinnable fight for him, but I'm mostly getting "easy fight" from his fans. So why linger on the old memories when you can make some more, easily and very profitably?

I get the parity argument, you'd think he'd have learned from this when he passed on 750k to go lose to John for 30k in Indonesia. Pac's next guarantee is 18m, so it was a 60/40 split, far from insulting.

Again, if it's about going out on the highest note possible, he retires after 4. If it's about legacy, Pac 5 >> Alvarado.

It might not be insulting for you, but you aren't making the sacrifices and getting punched in the face by Pacquiao.... after already knocking him out. When you've had 50 pro fights, then I'm sure you can say what one should and shouldn't do. Right now, Marquez about pleasing himself and he has every right to.

The guy asked why he'd fight him again, the obvious answer is a massive purse for JMM's standards. Was this so hard for you to process? There's very few fighters that would pass on 2x career payday for a presumably easy fight, in the name of memories lol.

You speak for all rational objective fans? Doubt it, most people without agendas would wanna see a repeat of last year's FOTY, as the polls showed. It's just natural, unless you're JMM's memory keeper

JMM ould make way more figting floyd again but you aren't asking for that fight are ou? No, so you can throw that BS out.

Manny has other options, lets see him fight someone new. The fight isn't gonna be different becsue its in Macau.

Perfect picture ending? You mean Marquez being beaten up, dominated and hit with 50% of Pacquaios power punches?

"Manny Pacquaio landed 55% of his power punches in rounds 5 and 6".

A perfect ending would been either fighter dominating the other and then proceeding to KO them or win a unanimous decision. If you think being beaten up and for practically the whole fight then throwing a hail mary and it hitting is a perfect ending with no "what ifs" then you're simply a piss-drinker who is probably one of the people who believes Marquez should've won all 4

Marquez thinks he's the better fighter, but lost 3/4 of the fights (yes he lost the first, don't try dispute it). If you think a KO removes all your previous losses sorry, that's not how boxing works and never will. He's so confident, I'm sure he'd have no problem taking that confidence to the 5th fight and earning the best payday ever? Didn't think so. Instead he goes after the paper champion Bradley,

Lmfao, you posted all of that and Manny still got knocked out. Yes, it was a perfect ending for Marquez. You want to see a 5th fight because you didn't like the way it ended. Manny and Juan are both greats, Juan just won the series, get over it. It's done.

people should quit hounding piss drinker about this
Bradley is a different story, but not Marquez; he actually beat Pac
that KO was one of boxing's best wins, he can't do any better
especially after the indecisiveness of fight 3, a 5th isn't needed
piss drinker won that rivalry with the KO so it's over

You became one of my favorite Pacfans...you, amongst all, seem to have the most integrity. Much espect!

I think he'd make less vs Floyd, by quite a bit, cause he has no leverage. Plus Floyd is stingy with opponents. Plus he has no intention of fighting Floyd, so not an option at all.

yo my man. you popped off alot about Canelo and he got blanked. you gotta wear that homie.

every fighter thats fought both made more fighting floyd. but you'd rather pretend otherwise because it doesn't work for you. Sad dude. If it's money, fight floyd. If its challenge fight someone you haven't fought.

I like Marquez and celebrate his win but this is pure bullshhh. You both were a cu-nt hair from KO'ing each other but JMM managed to land his bomb first that's the difference and that's the reality. Prior to that punch landing he was in the danger zone. Not taking anything away from his win or his performance but we all know that was a savage fight for both men and I don't think Marquez wants to risk being put to sleep because he came mighty close to it. Bradley is a safer bet because there really isn't a ko history there or tremendous earth shattering power. Just say I closed that chapter in my life and I want to pursue other things that's sufficient enough...these other explanations make it sound like he was in no danger at all and we all bias aside know had the fight continued the worse it would've been for him. Hell look at the damage on his face when it ended.

The boxing world doesnt recognise Marquez s victory because they all know he was all juiced up on steroids PEDs when he came in for Pacman. And even then, he was taking a pasting until he got one lucky shot in...He knows he ll have to take the test and without his PEDs, he's just an old man who ll get beat up by any A list fighter.
