Schaefer praised Marquez and told Viva Sports/Manila Standard Today “this fight is not for money, for him it is for pride.” Schaefer added “if you would know what kind of sacrifices he made to get the fight it would frankly blow everyone’s mind.” AND

At the same time Schaefer said “I do not deserve the credit for getting this fight done. There is only one person who deserves that credit and that is the last Mexican legend standing: Juan Manuel Marquez.”

THAT is what you call a TRUE warrior. JMM fighting for himself,his legacy and willing to make concessions in order to get the fight he wants. I miss this attitude from today's businessmen/fighters.Had JMM taken the aroogant,I'm not getting enough $$$,I want this,that etc, we would not even be seeing this fight. Thanks to JMM,we are and I seriously seriously want him to win.

I agree Julius,at that time,not many knew who JMM was and so he was overlooked. I don't think Manny will make that same mistake again although,I GUARANTEE,if he fights like he did v MAB in his last fight,he is going to lose.
