The money is great and not to be sniffed at, but Mrquez is not exactly a poor man. He doesn't need to fight Pac or risk going broke. His money likely goes a long way in Mexico. Marquez wants that win.
lol, you are so naive miles it's unbelievable. All these years you've been intently following boxing, on this site at least, and yet you still don't get that MONEY is the ONLY thing that matters in boxing.

"Marquez just loves to fight" ... that is utter fantasy. If Marquez, like every other PRIZEfighter that ever lived, wasn't rewarded by large sums of dough you would have never seen him in a professional ring.

If the money is right fighters fight. If it's not they don't. Simple as that.
Miles would probably respond with something like this, "You're wrong. No one in boxing fights for money. Everyone fights for honor and integrity and they just do it because......well they just love the sport and are fighting for legacy."
