So much for Mayweather-Marquez

[Violent Demise]

I hope JMM walking away from a big money PBF fight is not following the bad move committed by Team JMM before... walking away from a big money PAC rematch fight and accepted a $30k purse to fight in Indonesia only to lose to Chris John...

Team JMM needs to evaluate the situation carefully...
.

Just shows money doesn't run Marquez like it does other fighters. Marquez was promised 1.5 million for the Pacquaio rematch. When they tried to come at him with $750,000 Marquez wasn't going to biitch up and give in. He walked away. Yeah what happened afterwards was unfortunate. But no fighter can predict they will be robbed in a fight

Team JMM should evaluate what weigh more, losing to PBF (and earn big money) or losing to Erik Morales/Edwin Valero (earning moderate money)...
.

Marquez is going to do what the fukk he wants to do. Marquez is not one of those fighters who will take a fight he knows he can't win just cuz he's getting "big money".

Then why JMM made the mistake of calling out PBF?? Only very few will give JMM a tiny chance against PBF...

VD is right, there is no point in Marquez fighting at 147. It's just not feasible and Marquez would be better off walking away. It's a nice pay day, but Marquez can make decent paydays elsewhere, he is a top draw fighter these days.

I would rather Marquez test the waters at 140 against a decent name and then have a final fight against Pac. Then his career is pretty much done. No need to fight Mayweather.

Hopefully Hatton beats up Pac and then Pac has nowhere to go but to Marquez again.

What if Pacman wins though and moves up to Welterwieght to face Floyd, Cotto, etc? Then Marquez will be forced up to 147 anyways.

If Pac wins then he will have the greater options for sure. I don't think Marquez going up to 147 and losing to Floyd is his best means of gaining a rematch against Manny though.

Hatton beating Manny is what I want, and then Marquez can have his next turn. The bigger the beating for Manny the better. Hatton will most likely want Marquez next which will scupper my vision somewhat. Unless, a Mayweather fight turns up for Ricky to take him off the scent. Who knows.

I don't think PAC has nowhere to go but JMM... There's so many boxers out there calling out PAC... Even if he loses to Hatton, PAC still a very attractive opponent not only for JMM... JMM has to outbid the others...

I kind of agree, but Marquez mega spectator draw? no way! not without the big name of Mayweather, Hatton or Pacquiao... no other matches comes close to mega draw for Marquez. His options for really big money fights are limited. He has positioning right now which is the only reason he is waiting for the outcome of Pacquiao/Hatton. The same is true for Mosley. That's exactly why they are calling it the "Lotto". His next fight is seven figures easy if he faces one of the three. Can you even find a figure on how much he made on Diaz/Marquez. The viewing was up GBP but how much did Marquez earn?

He isn't on the level of the names you listed in terms of marketability but he is a decent draw, and has been in a number of really decent fights in recent years. He isn't earning peanuts, but he's not raking in the crazy money either.
