The myth that Pacquaio gave Marquez 4 chances

[Hatesrats]

Desperate? oh c'mon. It was just a miracle punch so it's nothing. You can post that miracle punch slomo GIF 1,000,000 times if you like

Yeah... 2 miracle punches in one fight apparently.

A good rule of thumb: 95% of things said by 95% of Manny fans should be ignored because its ridiculous.

Manny rematched JMM the 1st time because the initial fight was a draw and he fought him the 4th time instead of fighting Floyd for $40 mil, no ppv, after he was on record saying "I have nothing more to prove with him (JMM)!".

I think the idea of Pac giving Marquez "chances" is from the second fight onwards because Pac by then was clearly the bigger star, a MUCH bigger star. Pac didn't have to fight him again after that second fight but it really happened because Mayweather once more ducked the bout (fought Ortiz instead and said Pac was next...only to claim he never said that lol).

Heck, if anyone should be aggrieved about that first fight, it has to be the Pacman, considering one of the judges didnt know how to score a KD and missed the point, ending up with a draw. Yet it was JMM who was *****ing like a *****.

2-0 should have been the score. After that, I believe JMM won the 3rd fight and did so very well and then ofc the 4th where JMM looked like the Mexican Hulk...Burritulk!

Thanks to "MEMO" he was able to put Manny to sleep so congratulations to Juan. By the way, how's his knee injury again?

I've seen this throw around (probably by diehard Pac fans) but it's nonsense.

Fight I & II you can argue Marquez gave him the chance because Marquez was the defending champ.

Fight III wasn't a charity act by Pacquaio and team. It was set up to finally get a controversy free win over Marquez. Remember this was at the height of Pacquaio steroid claims and Marquez was a 38 year old lightweight moving up two divisions. Could say Marquez gave Pacquaio the opportunity to finally get a real win (and get paid)

Fight IV - same. Nobody outside of Pacquaio fanatics think he win and he had nowhere else to go. He needed a fair win (after 3 attempts and what most claim was 3 closses or 2 losses and a draw)

Bottom line it was two fighters fighting for something that the other one had. Marquez ended it with a swift ice cold KO. Pacquaio wasn't saying "Here you go Marquez please beat me" the way people claim.

Not sure why Pac fanatics are so desperate for their man to finally score a fair win over a 44 year old inactive, injured fighter. It would mean absolutely nothing except a payday for both guys.

So going by your memo juiced out ******ed logic. After team pac cherry pick Marquez for that 3rd fight and failed, they cherry picked him again for a 4th time? lol

wow someone still defending floyds 40 million duck. that takes guts. your argument is so easily refuted. pac fought marquez for less therefore it was a duck! and floyd fought maidana for less duck! floyd fought guerrero for less duck! etc... floyd fought maidana/guerrero for 30 mill instead of 300 million if he just gave pac a fair share. pac made around 30 million for the marquez fight so a 10 million difference where floyd missed out on 270 million for refusing to give pac a fair share but you are on his side of course. you never mention how he fought fights for 270 million less only how pac for for 10 million less cause he was being ripped off with that offer. no bias of course.

Gave Marquez 4 bites at the apple however you spin it.

manny only gave JMM the 3rd fight because of how Jmm looked against floyd...it was a cherry gone terribly wrong.....everyone said "jmm cant carry his skills up that high its evident now"...till he beat pac again....then he gave him the 4th fight because he exhausted most of his good options by then
