I'm sure this will disappoint everyone as there was an overwhelming outcry for many people on this board that this fight shouldn't be happening now. Unfortunately, tis on. I'll still watch because as a fight, it'll probably be entertaining while it lasts. For Marquez, this isn't the way to lure Pacquiao though.

At least the super duper WBC Diamond Belt is on the line though. I almost don't understand how we managed all these years without the clarity of a diamond belt.
Diamond Belt - LightWeight Title don't make sense. This fight is above 135, probably 140 , otherwise the WBC and WBO belts would be on the line. My guess is Marquez couldn't agree with Khan on the him accepting a lower purse split which has been his pattern since 2003. At least he is consistent. No doubt he's getting a much bigger percentage over Morales. Better for Morales at this weight, he may have a chance.
I imagine all 3 will be on the line. Boxrec probably haven't added it because nothing has been said about the other 2 titles. Maybe the WBO/WBA haven't approved Morales for a defense of their titles because he's not part of their rankings at that weight. The fight is at 135lbs.
