So much for Mayweather-Marquez

[Majesty]

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

Then do you think Marquez would have a bigger chance against Mayweather at 140?

I'd say...

JMM 70/30 PBF @ 135 (no way it will happen there)

JMM 50/50 PBF @ 140

JMM 40/60 PBF @ 143-145 (catchweight)

JMM 20/80 PBF @ 147

JMM 10/90 PBF @ 154 (it aint gonna happen there too, especially)

JMM 20/80 PBF @ 147

JMM 10/90 PBF @ 154 (it aint gonna happen there too, especially)

IMO:
Both fighters have the frame to meet at any of these weightclasses in fighting condition. Typically it's harder for the fighter coming down in weight to maintain stamina for the fight and it's harder for the fighter going up to carry the weight. Mayweather's style kills Marquez in any class.

JMM 45/55 PBF @ 135

JMM 40/60 PBF @ 140

JMM 35/65 PBF @ 143-145 (Match/Weightclass)

JMM 30/70 PBF @ 147

Why do some boxing fans care so much about "how much so-and-so gets to face joe blow at this weight"..... "how much he gets for facing joe blow at that weight"..... blah, blah, blah. I'm not nearly as interested about the finances of boxing as I am in the boxing itself. Marquez is willing to give up a few million $$$ by not facing PBF at a weight he KNOWS he can't carry?!? Good for him!! That's his God-given right, for crying out loud. VD said it pretty well. Marquez is not selling out to get the cheap payday, when he knows 147 is way above his ideal fighting weight. What the hell is this fascination with jumping all over the weight divisions, anyway? In the old days, you moved up one, maybe two divisions. Hell, I'd rather move up one division, and dominate in both of them, than jump through 5 or 6 divisions just to say I've done it, pick up a few more million, and get my ass drubbed all over the ring. Besides, when you've won 40-50 million over a career... what's 5 or 10 more?

Just my two cents worth.

Not a big one. No. But he has a chance. At 147 he has none. Marquez shouldn't have to put on 12 pounds just to make Mayweather happy. They should fight at a catch weight of 141. Marquez can put on 6 pounds. Mayweather can drop 6 pounds.
