This fight needs to happen again, its the only fight that really matters and when a guy is robbed, maybe thats an extremem word but he was the champion and im one that feels a champion must be beaten clearly and Marquez clearly was not. It looks like Pac wants no part of it though, Marquez even said is willing to fight at 135 or 140 if he has to. read the whole article at fight news. com
Golden Boy Promotions, CEO Richard Schaefer and Top Rank president, Bob Arum got into a highly volatile debate at last night’s post fight press conference.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Schaefer: “I find it hard to believe that a judge was changed in the week leading up to the fight. That same judge scored the fight 114-113 for Pacquiao. There is no fight fan in the world that doesn’t want to see this again. We can all agree that there was controversy.?br /> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Arum: “As a promoter it would be silly to do an immediate rematch after another just happened. It does not allow you to maximize the revenue. You have to let the cake bake in the oven before it is ready to be served.?br /> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Arum: “I don’t feel comfortable for the title to be given out by a ****zine, especially if I don’t have a part of ownership of the ****zine.?br /> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Schaefer: ““Obviously Bob Arum is a more experienced promoter than I am so I am willing to buy out Pacquiao for six million dollars right now because this is the fight that the fans want. Coincidentally Marquez asked Pacquiao asked for a rematch inside the ring and Pacman immediately said no.?
