ESPN: Top Rank Offers Marquez Trilogy Fight with Pacquiao (Article)

[Rocky Rode]

I'd rather pay for Marquez-Zab Judah on PPV...I thought that was the fight Marquez had planned for the Summer anyways? Would he fight Zab in July then Pac in October?

I don't think Marquez would want to be inactive for 11 months... Especially since this will be the biggest fight of his career.

[S H A R K B O Y]

The only consistent person here. I swear all the guys in here *****ing were the same one who just 3-4 months ago were crying that Manny should fight Marquez instead of Shane, now that he is...



And Arum and people here need to stop making believe that Manny has made ANY indication he's trying to make a Mayweather fight or has any interest in actually fighting a live dog. He turned down $50 million guaranteed and Roach will tell anyone who'll listen that his boy fighting Floyd is suicide.

Stop it already.

Fixed this post and made it believable.

The reason why JMM has no problem agreeing to fight Manny at welterweight is because Manny's offering to put his WBO belt up for stake. JMM wants to be the first Mexican to win titles in four divisions anyway. In my ideal world, Manny would challenge JMM for his lineal title at Lightweight, but that won't happen.

As for Floyd, he could seriously try to take a tuneup fight this summer before his court date in September. It's not like he's really mentally affected or doing actual work in the meantime. The guy's selling lottery soda and clubbing ffs.

Seriously, I think Pacquiao fighting JMM for his lineal belt is a lot better than JMM fighting for his WBO strap. He would become the 1st person to be a 5 time lineal champion in 5 different divisions. Also, in my ideal world after JMM, Pac will fight Martinez again for the JMW strap. I don't mention PBF since guy is afraid of Pac and obviously will forever run from him.

Lastly, in my ideal world Pac fights Maidana or Timothy Bradley. Maidana and Bradley at 147lbs since Pac already had the lineal belt and a strap (IBO) at JWW.

This will be so enjoyable to see the sheep eat this farce up also! The spin will be unbelievable.

Good ole top rank smoke and mirrors.

The weight doesn't matter at all.

Pac will still not go above 150 during the night of the fight, whether it's 140 or not. When they fought at 130 Pac was still 143-145 in the ring so it's really not that big of a deal to me.

JMM should look at it as a 140 bout and fight at 138-140ish. It's the only relevant fight since Mayweather is a mystery. Still a huge fight to me. People can play up the first couple of fights as fights JMM should have won. I think the public will buy it. Good ****.

Yup..I was thinking the same thing. So what if they say the fight is at 147, doesn't mean he has to come in at that weight. JMM can stay at a comfortable weight if he chooses.

[Prime 407]

LOL at all the ppl hyping up Marquez but then subsequently mocking him by saying he's **** above 140, so let's weight drain Pac instead. Bunch of hypocrites.

[KnockoutKings]

I don't get the uproar for this fight. Pac sparks JMM now at any weight. This is what all you guys were *****ing about when the Mosley fight was made and now you get it. Its your fault so don't complain now.

Whenever Manny is involved, its always someone else's fault.

damn *****s are so ****in dumb... wifebeater still has legal troubles don't he? it would be dumb to send an offer to fight wifebeater in those circumstances.

damn *****s are mofos

Pull your skirt down, your exposing yourself. Didn't Floyd have legal issues when the so called "Top Rank countdown clock negotiations" took place? So it makes sense for them to try to make a fight then, but not now? Keep believing whatever Arum sells you.
