Richard Schaefer: Marquez vs Ortiz At 144

[Instinto]

how come marquez or GBP do not propose a judah fight? isn't jmm looking for a 4th belt? plus it'll move him up in weight instead of trying to go from 135 to WW. marquez can fight judah and even maidana, his contract will surely expire by then. it ends in early 2012 right?

I remember Judah fought for 50k in his last fight. Now he is supposed to generate 5 mill for JMM?

[Pin Galarga]

But wait, didn't Ortiz win the welter belt? Why would He fight at 145 for pennies?
I think Shaefer is blown smoke.

ha, guess i didn't even think about the money when i wrote that. either way, jmm is fucked with this GBP contract. they're proposing **** fights. what i meant was jmm should just let the contract with GBP run out by fighting judah and maidana, or even morales at 140. it'll help him move up and i'm pretty sure manny's camp will still take the fight regardless if he looks good in it or not. he can sign with top rank when the contract expires but for now, fight at 140. fighting ortiz or canelo at a catchweight at WW is a bad move.

Sounds like Schafer is using Marquez as a stepping stone for young in-house Gold Shower fighters.

This sport is too cut-throat with all these lying, cheating, promoting bastards.

*** bob arum and *** top prank.... they take an L for this one.. they had a chance to fight marquez and instead went with mosley which was a huge failure!!...

Yeah, 1.2-1.5 millions PPVs is a failure for sure.
