Yet they only giving him $100,000 more than the first fight? A fight in which he didn't lose. Not to mentioned he was the one holding 2 belts. Fuck that. Marquez was not going to let them get over on him like that. I would of walked in his position too. People calling Marquez greedy are straight morons. Asking for what was promised to you ain't being greedy.

Marquez defended twice more after the rematch didn't happen. He was than stripped by the idiot IBF for not facing his mandatory. Which was the crap fighter known as Fahprakorb Rakkiatgym. Since he was no longer IBF champion. The dumb ass WBA took away his Super Champion status. Leaving Marquez belt less. It was than that he accepted the $30,000 to go to Indonesia and face the regular WBA champion Chris John. Getting robbed was not exactly something he or any fighter can plan for
Who are you talking about? "They" Marquez was under Top Rank at the time. Nacho was Marquez's adviser. Murad Muhammad was Pacquiao promoter/manager. Pacquiao had a number of advisors and among them was Roach. The "purse" was 1.8 Million split between the parties. i.e. $900K each. Pacquiao ended up with a little over $300K from the purse. If Marquez only ended up with $100K, it went to his people. After that fight Marquez left Top Rank. After the Chris John fight Marquez was with GBP. Perhaps you have read what Pacquiao made from the first fight where people included his Philippine television rights and the like. I read a number of inaccurate figures quoteing Pacquiao earned $750k not the $650K you state. The reason I know this is because I followed some articles when Pacquiao was suing Murad Muhammad for screwing him out of his purse money. Murad Muhammad posted a lot and HBO also posted the purse split which was a first. (sorry don't have the link) I never believed what Murad Muhammad was saying because after that, they split up even though Murad Muhammad had an exclusive contract with Pacquiao.

I watched that fight with Chris John and there was no robbery. Marquez relies on counter punching for his offense. Chris John is an outside boxer and did exactly that beating Marquez in a points fight. It was a horribly boring fight. Marquez didn't do squat to earn a victory. He lost just as he lost to Mayweather.
