Can't possibly imagine Marquez walking away from a megabucks offer. Legacy-wise he's in a great place now, but this is a business and he hasn't had a lot of big fights where he's in a position to demand the really big money. The guy can move himself to a whole new level of rich dude with just one more fight with Pacquiao. It has to be tempting.

So this means if Marquez refuses the tests he is clean and that Pacquiao is a dirty ducking fraud roadblocking coward right?

JMM should also take Pac to court and fight him in a court room rather a boxing ring if Pac makes these cowardly blood testing demands.
In the mean time JMM's team should pick the location and date of the fight, then put up a countdown clock…. because that would mean he's really serious about a fight!

Lol pac gave Marquez those rematches because he couldnt sleep at night from the boxing lessons he got and all the media pushing for it. We finally got closure period! Say pac does ko jmm in a 5th. Were does that leave us a 6th??? Manny knows now his only real payday is with jmm no one has To fight him. Other than a good pay day. At this point in jmm career he's looking for his health and easy fights he can win to further cement his legacy. Like Danny garci if he beats judah . Bradley and rios

If you have been looking forward to a fifth fight between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez, well — don’t hold your breath. Even though Manny Pacquiao risked everything to meet Juan Manuel Marquez in a third and fourth fight which seemed pointless to many fight fans, Marquez is now denying Pacquiao the opportunity to redeem his only loss of their battles.
“I think for me there is no point [in a fifth fight]. We already achieved the desired result. Then why do it? So I also asked several people, several friends that I have around me and they told me not to do it, that there is no point in a fifth fight. I said before the fourth fight that no matter how this fight ends, there can not be a fifth,” Marquez told Boxing Scene.
If those quotes are correct and Juan Manuel Marquez is indeed ducking a fifth fight against Manny Pacquiao, Marquez will lose a ton of respect around the boxing community. Money certainly would not be a factor in Marquez’ decision to duck Pacquiao and he has already stated that he plans to continue fighting.
So why not accept the biggest payday of your career and take a fifth fight against Manny Pacquiao? We can only think of one reason — steroids.
Manny Pacquiao, Freddie Roach and the rest of Pacman’s crew has made it clear that they will demand stricter drug testing if the two fighters were to ever meet for a fifth time. This stems from the fact that Juan Manuel Marquez seemed to have gone through puberty all over again leading up to their fourth fight. At 39-years-old, Marquez seemed more ripped and more muscular that ever leading many fans to believe that he was taking some sort of performance enhancer.
We cannot imagine Marquez actually walking away from all of the money that is on the table for a fifth fight against Pacquiao, but if he does we can only assume the worst. It will confirm to us that he is indeed taking some sort of performance enhancer or he has turned into a coward. You can decide which one is more likely.

Jmm looked like he should have been fighting Sergio as JMMs upper body was looking big and he looked like he was a weight class above Pac. Pac must have the weight in his calves.
JMM was willing to win at any cost and as he wanted a ko, PEDS seemed the answer.
