He said said GBP wanted a contract that stipulated they hold the rights to all of his fights for the rest of his life. He said that there is no way Arum works with them for a Pacquiao fight so he asked to change the contract around to where they step aside for a Pacquiao fight and they refused. His contract with GBP expires tomorrow. Talked about how he demanded more money than offered by GBP because its time for boxers to open their eyes because they are the ones who really put the hard work in busting their backs in training and taking the shots. If a Pacquiao fight should not come through he will move up to 140 in search for a 4th world title. Wants to fight in May in Mexico with Rafael Marquez on the under card. Also talked about how all the belts from the sanctioning bodies are bad for boxing and there should only be 1 champion from each of the 4 major bodies.

I don't understand jmms comments. I mean GBP has gotten him some good fights. It was Arum who said he priced himself out in negotiations. He may get the pac fight, and it'll bring him money. But his career is over after that unless he plans on going wayyy back down to 135. I don't know how his body takes that. I'm pretty sure hell be washed.

Marquez can't demand more money because he doesn't bring in money. He get knocked down in every fight and doesn't have KO power. He doesn't speak a lick of english and drinks piss. How are they supposed to market him to the U.S. PPV buying audience?
If he was smart he would leave GBP and never look back. At least if he signs with Top Rank he has a 50/50 shot of fighting Pacquiao and getting a career payday and he can drink all the piss he wants on the beach in retirement.Last edited by Check_hooks; 03-01-2011, 03:09 AM.
