Originally posted by Tony Trick-Pony View PostYeah, it was a solid series for sure. I always liked watching both of them and they made for quite a rivalry. Marquez-Diaz I is still one of my favorite fights. Great action from beginning to end. And Pac-Marq IV was definitely the best of the series.
Here's to the sport we love, my friend.

He knocked the man unconscious. **** you mean he didn't want it lmao. He put Pac and Arum in a position that he was in and left them hanging. He didn't want it, lmao. He fought him four ****en times lol lol lol. Refusing a fifth means that he didn't want it hahahahhhahahahaha lol.
He turned down 60 million according to the article, but yeah. He "wanted" it. He KO'd him in the fourth fight and totally dominated and never went down himself. It would have been easy work which is why he turned down the biggest money offer ever.
Sure..............

Originally posted by Raggamuffin View PostHe turned down a fifth fight because he felt satisfied period. You can't understand that because you're looking at the money that he could've made. Marquez is the epitome of blood sweat and tears so for you to say that he didn't want it when he TOLD you why he didn't need a fifth fight is hilarious to read. I'm surprised you had the gall to write that gutless thought lmao.
Secondly, how much did he make to fight someone else?
I said this a while ago. If he had retired after that, cool but he didn't.
So you do not win any of the 3 and beg …. then once you win, you do not give the opponent at least 1 rematch?
and I am a fan of both but hiring Memo, yikes!

At worst they are 2-2 on granting each other matches.
the thing is that it was Manny who was becoming the attraction and Marquez was the one trying to get the big fights. The Morales and Barrera's were avoiding Marquez.
Manny stepped up 4 times!

Well the fight was a draw, in which Pac was robbed of a loss by a judge who did not know how to score it. AFter that Pac went up to super feather whereas JMM lost at feather if I'm not mistaken, to John. It was not a robbery by any stretch.
It took JMM 3 years to get to super feather where he faced a faded MAB and barely got by in a rather dull affair. The fact a second fight even happened and was a blockbuster was down to Pacs popularity.

Fast forward 3 years & 8 months the third fight at welterweight wasn't some charity act by Pacquaio. It was a cherry pick and they tried to take advantage of Marquez. They figured he looked crap in 2009 at 147 and was now 38 and ripe for the plucking. It was also Pacquaio's most bankable fight outside of a Mayweather fight. Marquez was robbed in this fight quite badly. Marquez remained his most bankable fight outside of Mayweather and Pacquaio needed to finally secure the legit win and get the monkey off his back.
Both brought things to the table hence why it was a classic series. The idea that Pacquaio was a charity act for Marquez for 8 years is preposterous.
