Comments Thread For: Arum: Marquez's Demands Offended Pacquiao, Killed Fight

[richardt]

EL ANIMAL - Ever since Floyd was in the Olympics and since then, I have loved watching him fight. His ability to nullify anything the other guy does is phenominal. And even now I have mixed emotions because he looked so good against Mosley and reduced Mosly to nothing.....but Floyd's constant disregard for others to the point of violence has shifted the pendulum for me. This year was to be one of the greatest matchups ever and Floyd chose to spew racial rants and go on vacation. When Mayweather beat Mosley, EVERYONE expected him to sign on for the superfight and instead he went on vacation which has now lasted in excess of 6 months. I think both Pac and Mayweather have the type of skills that could dominate the other guy but we may never know because when Pac wanted the fight and accepted the drug testing terms and called mayweather's bluff, Mayweather went on vacation.

Now all of a sudden cotto was shot! LOL yeah ok..
u maybe right about margarito not deserving a fight with manny but u cant deny it was a dangerous fight for manny!
if it was any other fighter tony would of given them hell or won peroid.
ok now u mentioning berto! c'mon he fights too many c-list fighters to even be considered at this moment. atleast margarito fought (cotto, cintron, williams, mosley), who has berto fought??? exactly u get the point!
i never said marquez isnt worthy i said how could he out price himself with someone he hasnt beat and manny has accomplished more then him!
how could u put Manny and Martinez in the same ring? and have a straight face?

whatever dude u have the intelligence of a rock, its common knowledge cotto was damaged goods after margs , hes very damaged, no good. if he werent why was he a 10to 1 underdog going into a manroid fight?? plus clottey whupped his azz too only to get jobbed. manroid is paying mosley more!! and berto is coming off a 1rnd ko impressive victory automatically disqualifying himself from a manroid fight. a berto pac fight would outsell a sugar shot mosley fight, people arent dumbe they know a berto fight is a quality matchup, a mosley fight is simply manroid not wanting to take any risk, berto is welterweight champion he DESERVES A FIGHT,hes unbeaten hes young and hes 10 times a threat that mosley is , mosley is the most non-deserving guy rt now.pac only fights washed up dudes whos he fought to be considedred the best??? hell always live in mayweathers shadow, they will actually always live in each others shadow till they fight.jmm didnt price himself out, hes a threat which automatically disqualifys him.pac may have accomp[lished more than jmm, but in their 2 meetings jmm accomplished more he punched the shiaat out of manroid and manroid knows this and doesnt want to look bad again.jmm won more rounds jmm landed more shots jmm took it period.if i were manny id put the contreversy to rest not go and beat up some loser old fart!

Pacquiao is one arrogant son of a gun. He plays the nice guy to the media but he's as bit as arrogant as FM Jr.

Marquez is fraud....

1.fighting Katsidis who was KO by Casamayor and beaten by Diaz...Both Casa and Diaz was beaten by Marquez and still Marquez fought the loser, one dimensional and bum Katsidis.
What did Marquez gained fighting Katsidis????NOTHING!!!!!!!!
2.fighting Diaz who has 5 loses on his last 6 fights(beaten and battered by Campbell, and toyed by Malignaggi).
3.next fight will be against faded and shot Morales at 135 instead of Soto. What will Marquez gain in fighting Morales(KO twice by Pacman) on his next fight to be worthy challenger against Pacman...

if Marquez is seriously wants to get a fight with Pacman he should move up in weight and should be in the mix fight with khan, devon, bradley, maidana, berto and even Mosley to be worthy challenger against Pacman...Those fighters are fighting each other to have a chance to fight Pacman while Marquez is feasting on bum, and faded fighters in lower weight to get a fight with Pacman...He even price himself out with unrealistic demand against Pacman.... This was the 2nd time he did this...The 1st rematch was Marquez price himself out by turning down 750K dollars fight with Pacman and choosing 30k dollars fight with Chris John in Indonesia...And now he has a unrealistic demand to price himself out of Pacman fight instead will fight Morales or any bums, loser and faded fighter at 135 for less than a million...Marquez wants more than what he received when he fought Floyd...Come on!!!!!His lost against Floyd was dominant where he didn't win any round or never a threat for 12 complete round wants more against Pacman...Marquez didn't prove himself that he is worthy challenger at higher weight...He's a joke at higher weight...Even Malignaggi will KO him in first round....

[Doc Holliday]

No Arum. You steered pac to Mosley because you have a cut on both sides and would promote shane to fight cotto and margarito afterwards (should shane win) ... so more potential big money fights for TR.

Its clear as day.
Marquez fight is bigger historically and financially.
Damn, arum is one slick businessman.

green k sent

[mr_kamado10]

Mosley is asking only 3million plus 1dollar in PPV
Marquez is asking for 8 million plus 5 dollar per ppv..
Mosley almost KO Floyd twice while Marquez did nothing or never a threat in 12 complete round against Floyd....Floyd even scored a knockdown...Marquez is NO GOOD at higher weight...
who is reasonable???????

Report Violation
Katsidis, KO’d by Marquez? Big Deal!!!! From the onset of the matchup, I knew this thing was made-to-order. Katsidis was KO’d by a lackluster retiring Casamayor. Katsidis was beaten by Diaz. And Diaz and Casamayor were both beaten by Marquez, so what do you think Marquez gained by beating Katsidis????? NOTHING!!! then he fought c class fighter in Diaz in a rematch who has 5 loses of his last 6 fights( destroyed by Campbell and toyed by Pau Malinaggi)….
BIG DEAL! Everybody thinks Marquez conquered a Goliath of a fighter. That’s a funny matter. Want to match Marquez with bigger men??? His first try was a total failure. Let him have his revenge against Chris John! Marquez is so quiet and tongue-tied when it comes to Chris John who beat him fair and square, un unknown from the island of Indonesia. Ye-Hey, Marquez beat Katsidis!!!! Cheers for a ho-hum news!

[BoxingTech718]

Yeah right if anything the only thing offended was Arum's wallet. Why should pac care what Marquez makes? Arum just didn't want to pay up.

[mr_kamado10]

Why did Marquez choose Katsidis to prove he’s still on top? Didn’t Marquez know that he recently beat Casamayor and Diaz who themselves wasted Katsidis?
Therefore, Katsidis is no challenge to Marquez. What’s the cheering about???

[mr_kamado10]

Floyd beat Mosley by decision....Let see how great Pacman will demolish Mosley....Mosley has never been KO'd on his entire career.....if Pacman KO mosley the he's the first man to do that...Another great feat for a keep busy fight for Pacman while Floyd is on scared vaction.
