Road block to JMM v Manny2: $$$$$

[El Gamo]

"In the meantime, Pacquiao’s close friend and confidant Rex “Wakee” Salud said the problem in arranging a rematch with World Boxing Council super featherweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez was that he was asking for too much.

But Marquez’s handlers have maintained that he is the champion and should not get less than the challenger even though the challenger is Pacquiao. Now they are certain to point to the fact that according to the Nevada State Athletic Commission, Barrera got the same $2-million purse as Pacquiao and Barrera had no belt and was beaten by Marquez in his last fight"

Listen to how fricking stupid that sounds. MAB,got $2million for the Pacman fight as did Pacman...but JMM wants the same amount,he's a champ,just beat MAB and it's too much??

[Violent Demise]

It looks like a fight with David Diaz seems to be of more importance to Pac. What a shame.

If Marquez beats Juarez, then the stage is set for a huge fight between Pacquiao and Marquez.

Obviously Marquez wants this fight, because it's the one fight where he can make big money.

If Pacquiao chooses to fight someone else other than Marquez, Manny deserves to be criticized. I hope all the Mayweather haters who have criticized him over and over will be honest enough to cricitize Pacquiao as well.

[C-Lo]

I just watched Pacquiao vs Marquez again and this fight needs to happen! I wouldn't understand why money or anything else could get in the way in each of the fighter's will to be the best. Not only are Marquez and Pacquiao the best in their division, but they are also top 3 in the pound-for-pound rankings. Once Marquez schools Juarez in November, settle the contract and get Marquez and Pacquiao in the ring again.

As many time as I've seen the first fight my scorecard never changes. I had Pacquiao winning the fight 115-114, but round-for-round, I had Pacquiao winning 3, Marquez winning 5, and 4 rounds that couldve gone either way so i gave it a draw. The decision of a draw was almost too perfect of a setup for a rematch, but it just didn't pull through.

Understandable i think. If he's gonna fight JMM he'll want to make a lot of money for the difficult task, also he'll make negotiations awkward so JMM only accepts the fight if he really really wants it, as in enough to settle for less than Pac.

JMM should take the lesser purse, if he wins he will be in the money, sucess breeds success and makes money.

Thats the nature of the boxing Business. Doesn't make it right or fair tho.

You have to also take into consideration that JMM is not young anymore and the main point,as I mentioned in the first post,MAB recieved $2mill,coming off a loss,no title belt and reiceved a whooping in their first fight.

JMM beat MAB,most thought he beat Manny and he has a title belt. It's also the fight fans want to see. JMM deseves the same in my opinion.

Absolutely spot on as per usual bro. Had this been Mayweather,I myself would have criticised him as I have done in the past for not making the bigger fights. If Manny does the same,unbiased fans should voice their dissapointment too.

[Wacko3205]

Personally...I think that they both should get the even money split.

I also think that there's a bit of fear coming from both camps & nothing anyone says will change my mind until the dotted lines are signed.

Money should not get in the way here. This fight makes a boat-load of sense & it sure as shit could be marketed to make an ass-load of money.

I agree with you Gamo like you said Barrera got that amount coming off a loss to Marquez and had no belt and got one sided beating in the first fight with Manny so why should Marquez get shafted like that ?? he gave Pacquiao a hell of a fight it was FOTY and beat Barrera and fans everywhere want to see who really is the best so i don't understand why he can't get the same.

A number of reasons,the main being money again. Plus Nacho Beristein who is the yoda of trainers but is quite possibly the worst manager ever. He thought it would be better for JMM to fight John in Indonesia for a low sum,maybe to prove a point? Who knows,but it backfired.

[Wacko3205]

The rematch did'nt happen on account of negotiations & also the fault fell on Nacho.

He did indeed go to Indo & get like some ridiculous sum $33,000 or some shit & a bunch of low blows & bullshit like that.

Marquez beat Chris John, IWO, & now refuses to go back due to the way they were treated in & out of the ring.

Apparently it's hard to collect a decision or your pay in Indo.
