I guess because although not the belt holder, he was by far the star, the Ring champ and recognised best fighter in the division as well as a cash cow.
I actually am in the tiny minority who doesn't really care to see them fight again.
I think they are both taking years off of each other and want Manny to have a go at conquering 135 before he retires.
If he fights Marquez again, even if he wins I think he will be effectively done as a fighter.
Brawlers like Paquaio, like Barrera and Morales before him only have so much in the tank.
Coralles and Castillo had little left after their brutal first fight, I think it will be the same for Pacquaio if he fights Marquez again.
As for Marquez, mark my words, if he fights Juan Guzman or mayeb even Edwin Valero next he's getting beat and possibly even knocked out.
