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.
