JMM: I'll fight him at any weight he wants, not a problem since he was 148

I really think money is the ultimate motivating factor at this point. JMM is on the wrong side of 30 and realizes he needs to really cash in. In a sport where you can grow old overnight I think he realizes he didn't make too many savvy business decisions in the past (fighting chris john in indonesia)(even more surprising consdering he's good with numbers I think he was an econ major as well? from 24/7) I think he wants to secure his financial future.

The Chris John fight has never made any sense to me. Marquez always comes across as being very articulate and quite adroit, but some of those career decisions have been a bit unorthodox.

Yeah, maybe he is cashing out, but it's hard to tell if that is really Marquez's plan. If he is willing to give up all advantages to fight Manny then I think I will begin to see it that way though.
