I think Marquez is rooting for El PakeeowFormer four division world champion Juan Manuel Marquez has advised his former foe, WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao, to do everything in his power to avoid the possibility of allowing the unification with WBC/WBA champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. to go to the scorecards. The fight is taking place on May 2nd from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Marquez saw his countryman, Jose Luis Castillo, as the rightful winner over Mayweather in 2002 when they fought at the MGM Grand. The judges saw it otherwise, and scored the bout unanimously for Mayweather.

No, you don't think Haymon is licking his chops for a 50-0 fight? He could market the hell out of that to the casuals and make them think it's something "meaningful" and "historic."
This is the most likely scenario to maximize profits. Mayweather wins a controversial decision vs Pacquiao in May. Since he said no rematch, the public clamors for a rematch (people inherently want what they can't have) Mayweather "generously" grants the rematch for September, and they all make millions again. Mayweather wins again, and ends his contract with Showtime. Having "nothing more to prove" he announces his retirement at 49-0.
The public feels a little cheated, "but 50-0!" Nope can't have it. Eventually Mayweather announces his comeback from another phoney retirement and whores himself out to the highest bidder for the opportunity to show his potential 50-0 comeback fight. It's heavily marketed and hyped up and the public eats it up

Mayweather, one of the biggest and most consistent gamblers in Vegas, bought
off the judges in the first Bradley fight in order to cool off the pressure on him
to fight Pacquiao.Comment

You gotta be kidding , if Floyd had a loss on his record way back when and then won everything from then on , he would still be where he is today , he had to win the fights to get here , Manny lost 5 and still made it .Comment

So it going to be Pacquiao vs Mayweather & Bayless.
If Bayless gets to ref the fight, Pacquiao's chances are reduced significantly.
Bayless was an absolute disgrace in Mayweather vs Maidana.
It really did look like he had been bought.Comment

How do you know arum didn't pay off the judges? That was his boss at the time. I think arum robbed Manny in the Bradley fight also just to milk him.Youre 100% right. Its because he is a coward. Pays off Judges and refs. Its because he was marketed right. Sold out like a actor. Pretending to be something hes not. Sadly he wasnt even remotely entertaining. He was boring and never did ANT of his fights live up to the hype.Comment
