"Hamed is like a wrestler," Marquez said. "He will toss you around if he can. It is almost the same way with fighting (Freddie) Norwood. You have to knock him out to get the victory." (cluck.. cluck..)

Nacho Beristain, Marquez's manager, criticized the Hamed camp's negotiating tactics.

"They want to get us when all of our energies are gone (from negotiating)," Beristain said. "They are only playing with our heads. We never want to fight (Hamed). Who do they think they are? They came out with an offer of $400,000. It is not worth it."

Pacquiao put about $30,000 in his pocket the first time he met MAB.
Anyone can type in Wikipedia all that stuff is often moved/changed. I contribute to the boxing section and also to the one on BoxRec.

I've often had things that I typed altered and changed so not everything you read on there is the 100% true. Remember these things are put together by everyday people...
