Manny can surely carry most cards; the Pacquiao name sells matches. But if it's Pacquiao who carries the card, why should anyone cough up any decent amount for Marquez's free ride? Why should the money be anymore than 750,000.00 US?
As for Juarez, he needs to do some work to get into the mix. He lost twice to Barrera--in the eyes of the mainstream, he lost to someone who was battered by Pacquiao. Why should they (mainstream people) pay?
400,000 PPVs in Pac-Erik 3. That could not have been all hardcore fans buying...
If Juarez and Marquez demand more than they possibly deserve, and stubornly insist on those demands, I fear there won't be any Pac meeting possible with them.
I dread the thought. I want to see those matches pal.
