Ever since JMM's amazing tko of Katsidis quite a few boxing fans wants to see a 3rd fight between Pac and JMM and the word is that Pac is scared of JMM because of 2 tough fights. I don't believe that. IMO, both of them would have finish a trilogy if JMM took the rematch against Pac in early '05 for 750k instead of Chris John in Indonesia for 30k and losing. If they had fought in early '05 and finish up the trilogy in 06, 07 or 08 there wouldn't be talk of a 3rd fight and how one guy is scared of the other. So basically if anyone knows, tell me why did JMM take a huge paycut and fight some unknown in his country for 35k instead of Pac for 750k? Because JMM wants a 3rd fight badly, but the 3rd fight would have happened in '06, 07, or 08 if he just accepted the rematch in early '05. Bad move financially on JMM's part for fighting John for 30k. Instead Pac went on to fight Morales 3 times.

Early last year, a proposed deal was on the table for a Marquez rematch versus Pacquiao (they had fought to an exciting draw in April 2004). But instead of taking the $750,000 payday -- and more important, the opportunity and exposure it could have brought -- Beristain reportedly demanded $1.5 million (which was the license fee from HBO for both sides to split).
