Re: Let's clear this 'ducking' issue of Pacquiao once and for all...
This is either the biggest pre-sale for a fight that I have ever seen...or it'll end up being one of the biggest sell outs that I have ever seen.
The drama for this fight is dated...but all HBO has to do is either replay the first bout or work out a 24/7 of these two prior to the bout...& it's absolutely a MUST!
Personally I feel that Marquez is the best of the division...outside of Guzman...who I totally believe in.
I'm just not a Pac-fan & it's nothing against Pac personally or nationalistically or any shit like that...I just don't really dig on him as a fighter. He's exciting...but his style just isn't in my tastes.
Now...as far as the bout goes...I believe that these are the antics of both Oscar & Arum working full steam ahead building up the battle.
Look at it from a promotion standpoint.
Pac wants to move up...but there's unfinished business with Marquez.
Marquez wants to finish it...maybe Pac doesn't...or as his fans seem to say...doesn't see the need.
Pac calls out Diaz.
Marquez calls out Pac.
Pac turns down Marquez.
Marquez says Pac is running & he'll do whatever it takes to make the fight.
Now here we all are dangling by a thread with our nuts in a vice waiting on an answer.
The fight has pretty much just sold it's self...now...if you were Arum or Oscar...WTF would you do?
You'd keep dangling fans & drag that shit out till the end of the year & either make an announcement @ Christmas or the New Years & you'd sell this fight like crack on a street corner...& you'd have to re-up before you could even come up with some WACK-ASSED title.
Never beg a 40 dollar hooker...specially after she's just turned down your mom's credit card!!
