well the bottom line s f he stays w/ GBP he can look forward 2 what exactly? getting KO'd by Berto? UD'd by Amir Khan? fighting Tim Bradley for peanuts? beatin an over-the-hill Erik Morales? what s the point?

These are JMM options in this particular order:

1. Secure a fight with Pacquiao (at 140-143lbs b/c he doesn't stand any chance at 147... actually, he doesn't stand a chance at anything above 140lbs)
2. Fight Judah for a 4th world title
3. Fight the winner of Miadana/Morales (hopefully Morales outboxes Miadana b/c a fight with Marquez would be more meaningful)
4. Fight Amir Khan or Bradley
5. Drink piss and retire!!!!!

Secure a fight with Pacquiao......but he is not in the position to dictate the terms regarding weight.....

It's welterweight at 147 lbs....anyway JMM could come in anywhere below 147lbs....It's up to him if he wants to come in even at 135lbs.......Marquez can't force Pacman to come down to his desired weight of 140-143lbs

poor GBP, no Donaire ! I pity Donaire now as he will be trying to make amends to uncle Bob so he can get top fights. Suggest you dump that ***** as your manager..... she talks too much and let the cat out of the bag too soon.
As for JMM, all he needs to do is sit out the remainder of his contract and be a free agent. If he lets TR bid for him ( which they wont do if they are wise) then GBP can just match it. Once the grace period is over, TR can easily offer him without violating their previous meeting against poaching each other's fighters.

Marquez don't sign any contracts yet untill you end your contract with GBP unlike Nonito or should i say Rachel Donaire instead since she's in charge with a business degree. I would like to see the trilogy soon before both fighters retire. It's hard not to criticize the Donaires; if you had a legal contract you must honor. I don't care Nonito going to GBP but come on a kid will know not to sign another contract while your in contract and wait until you finish your contract. It's just ******, i got nothing more to say

Marquez doens't have to sign with anyone. He's accomplished enough to be able to demand big money fights on his own and he's been around the game long enough to know what kind of money he can get. And without a promoter taking his money he can get much bigger purses. He could easily fight Pac for 5-10 million, and win or lose Rios for another 3-5 million. Judah wants to fight him, that could get him 5 million. He would be ****** to sign with Golden Boy, who paid him only 3 million in his biggest purse compared to the 20-25 million they paid Mayweather in that fight.
