I'd love to see a rematch but I kind of agree with Arum here. If you give the rematch some time between fights it does create more of an interest. I think Marquez-Vazquez hurt their trilogy by fighting three in a row.
The problem with spreading out a trilogy is that one of the fighters loses to a lesser known oponent then that taints the last fight and makes it not as appealing to fans.

Example. If Pac fights David Diaz, and JMM fights Guzman. If either loses then the last fight wont make as much money cos Pac or JMM has lost to a little known opponent.

Make sense?

I agree with you there, but take a look at probably the greatest trilogy recently: Morales vs Barrera

They way they did those three fights, it was spread out many years. I just think it helps build the fights. And I don't think Pac loses to Diaz or JM Marquez loses to Guzman, although the Guzman fight would be a good one.
On the otherhand i think R Marquez, Wazquez trilogy was btter than Morales v Barrera and they fought 3 in a row.

Morales v Pac is a good example. A lot of gloss was taken off their last two fights after Morales was beaten by Raheem. It showed he was on the decline.
Just my opinion.
