Marquez just wants to be paid like he was the winner. He's not as ****** as Bradley (or Bradley's wife):
Mexico’s Juan Manuel Marquez is reportedly asking for $20 million for a fifth bout with Manny Pacquiao, but boxing trainer Freddie Roach believes they can get the rematch for much lower.
“$10 million,” was Roach reply to The Sweet Science when asked about the most reasonable offer negotiators should give to Marquez.
Top Rank’s Bob Arum met Marquez last week in an effort to convince the Mexican to fight Pacquiao again. But the details of the meeting have yet to be released.
Marquez has been reluctant to fight the Filipino again as he sees his knockout victory over Pacquiao in 2012 as a fitting end to their rivalry.
Roach conceded that the Mexican has valid reasons for declining the rematch, but he also noted that the money they could generate from a fifth bout will be too much for them to refuse.
“I think he wants to go out on that high note, I really do,” said the boxing coach. “[But] can he refuse that kind of money, though? Even though he wants more, it's still a big payday.”
Roach hinted that Arum can offer more to lure the Mexican into accepting the bout.

1 draw, and 1 KO out of 4: that's worth 50/50. Look at the alternative: fighting Chris Algeri at a catchweight. That sucks! Don't be mad at Floyd, be mad at Manny. Maidana is not going to help you save face. You and Manny are irrelevant for 2014.Comment

I didn't say Manny didn't want the fight, but i'm pointing out that JMM wanted the fight too, but he wants to be paid like a winner. Obviously Roach and Arum don't think JMM deserves 50/50 or $20 million. So now Manny is fighting Algeri, and JMM is looking for a fight with Porter. I would say challenging Porter is much better than challenging Algeri at a catchweight. The only champion more irrelevant is Danny Garcia for fighting Rod Salka. You need Maidana to win just for your hero to be relevant again, because the rematch with Bradley can't wipe away that KO, and a fight with Algeri is even more pathetic.Comment

Yup. Them cookies will be his only consolation prize after that a$$ whooping just like ice cream after getting your tonsills removed... And if the referee actually stops Maidana from using his head as a battering ram this time there will be no reason for Mayweather to visit the hospital.Comment
