Smart, smart move from Juan Manuel. Brilliant even
He's bright enough to realize that even though Manny's the cash cow, he's the one in the driver's seat. Not only should he insist on the fight being on his turf, he should ask for more than $10 mil guaranteed. $15 mil+ PPV upside sounds about right. This past fight did some monster numbers across the board (9th all time gate in Nevada, most watched Boxing event in Mexico's history, most buys for a Pacquiao fight according to early reports).
They could fill Azteca stadium to capacity in 2 days. If Pac's side says no, JMM can walk away and Top Rank would be forced to parlay with Haymon and co. and if they instead choose to go to some other bull**** like Tim Bradley, the backlash would be epic.
JMM should never fight Pac again. He has shown the world the truth and what he can do at 38 yrs old against the lb for lb best fighter in the world not named Mayweather.
He should retire and ride off into the sunset and take care of his family and keep working on ESPN Deportes.
JMM has nothing to prove and he will never get a dec win over Pac....ever. Not as long as a mega payday with Mayweather is looming out there.
Manny Pacquiao won't fight master counterpuncher Mayweather until he resolves convincingly a master counterpuncher in Marquez. Team Pacquiao knows that they won't beat Mayweather right now, and maybe they never will if Pac keeps having those counterpunching issues.
Ur wrong there amigo.Its either Marquez or floyd.Manny cant fight bradley
or anyone else no more.
says who??? Arum is a scumbag, but he knows how to promote. Hell sell any fight Manny is in!!!
Marquez dont have that much leverage to tell you truth!!
Top Rank can look other way, they will still duck floyd if they fight Marquez and get deservebly criticize for it, and so fighting Marquez or Bradley or Maidana would be the same ****!!
But if they really want Marquez they have to cave in on somethings like, money and PPV split, the venue will never be Mexico I mean have they fought in the Phillipines?
Marquez should get 50-50 and get the fight in mexico.Marquez should be
treated like the winner.Cause he won that fight.If manny dont like it he
could always go get his azz beat by mayweather lmao
