Pacquiao Marquez Fight
Sep 20, 2008
Pacquiao Marquez Fight is a question on a lot of people minds after Juan Manuel Marquez beat Joel Casamayor by knocking him out in the 11th round. It seems that after fight the flurry of news in confusing manner regarding the possible Pacquiao Marquez Fight has come to the foreground.
Richard Schaefer on Pacquiao Marquez Fight: There’s no way Bob Arum and Pacquiao are going to fight him again, I don’t think Pacquiao wants anything to do with Juan Manuel Marquez any more... Juan Manuel Marquez will fight anyone. He’s never turned down anyone. Have you ever heard him turn down any opponent?
Manny Pacquiao on Pacquiao Marquez Fight: I’m willing to fight him any time. But since I will be the promoter, he must first accept all the conditions I will ask including a smaller purse. If he agrees to the conditions, I know he is fighting for honor and I will fight him. If not, he’s only after getting big purse.
Juan Manuel Marquez on Pacquiao Marquez Fight: The third fight will probably not happen, I already proved I beat Manny Pacquiao. I did my job in the ring, now, Manny and Oscar have to do their part.
Richard Schaefer on Pacquiao Marquez Fight: The money for Pacquiao-Marquez fight is there so it cannot be the money. Manny knows he could have made more money fighting Juan Manuel Marquez, far more money, than he made by fighting David Diaz in his last fight. So I think money is not a good excuse. I don't believe it. Pacquiao can say it as many times as he wants. I don't believe it.
I believe he knows Juan Manuel Marquez has his number and that he will beat him again. So he is going to try to find different fights, different avenues. Now he has the opportunity to go in with the most popular fighter in the world, Oscar De La Hoya, so yes, he is going to jump at that opportunity.
Is he going to win, is he going to lose? Irrespective of that, no doubt he will move down. He is not going to stay at 147 pounds and Juan Manuel Marquez will be waiting for him. I think a lot of it depends on what the outcome will be with the Oscar fight. If he will get knocked out badly by Oscar he may look for an easier fight. If he wins he may look for a fight with Ricky Hatton.
Bob Arum on Pacquiao Marquez Fight: Just ludicrous at this point because the job at hand is the fight with Oscar De La Hoya... De La Hoya is far from a tune-up fight... This is a very tough, very hard fight and addressing the issue of who the next opponent will be is ludicrous at this point... opponents out there far more lucrative and far more interesting than Marquez. Floyd Mayweather Jr may come out of retirement or Ricky Hatton. Who knows, who knows what the future is going to bring. We will look around after the De La Hoya fight and if we decide that the most lucrative fight, the best fight out there for him (Pacquiao) is Marquez, that’s the fight we are going to make.
We are eagerly waiting for Fraud Gayweather and Manny " the destroyer " Pacquiao match. We'll see if your fraudulence will work with manny.
manny pacquiao the pound 4 pound boxer. marquez will never beat pacman.
Marquez is a lousy loser,Pacquiao already knocked him 4times in they're 2 fights.When will he ever accept the reality that Pacman is really the best.Dont be jealous of Pacmans achievements he's a great guy inside and out and most of all he's a God fearing fellow.
Pacman is afraid of Marquez, thats a fact.He knows dinamita is the only fighter capable of beating his face to a pulp.Look at how he dread the thought of having a rematch with marquez? Pacqiaou is only good in beating old and aging fighters who are way past their prime. Sobrahan ra ka inotuk na si roach ug pacman! Pangwarta rana ilaha but to say best pound for pound? No Way! Jose! Molansar pa ug pagka congressman bisan wlay grado! Pakauwaw lang! Iceman of Bogo City
Compare the opponents of Pacman and Marquez and see who is dealing with a lot tougher challenge. Pacman's opponents are the likes of David Diaz who could hardly move his legs and dont even know how to puch and Dela Hoya who is older than my grandpa and should be hanging his gloves for good. Roach even commented that ODLH cound not pull the trgger anymore but still, they prefer to fight him coz hes old and easy to beat hahaha! What a shame. While for Marquez, you have Joel Casamayor and Juan Diaz who is 25 yrs old and a very good and talented boxer. May i ask you, when was the last time did Pacquiao actually take on younger opponents? TELL ME! ICEMAN
WTF!!!! People pls learn... Pacquiao 1st fight with Marquez indeed was a judge error. Pacquiao won that fight knocking Marquez couple of times.
On their 2nd fight Pacquiao KNOCK HIM DOWN. It doesn't matter how old you are..or your prime era passed, the thing is you can pull the win. We cannot judge by whom they fight, age or how kickass their opponents but rather by fighting against each other. Well Pacquiao did KNOCK HIM DOWN. That is the finale. That is the conclusion...The guy that compare the opponents of Pacquiao and Marquez is a MORON.
Manny Pacquiao should join ABS CBN for good not GMA7. Because GMA7 is the worst network in the Philippines. But Manny should join ABS CBN for now on.
i agree to what u said bout that faggot comment bout pacman & marquez.. we all know that manny is the # 1 pound 4 pound boxer of the world.. so stop talking shit bout pacman.. you should be proud of him instead of letting him down u "SUCKA".. suck a mexican dick if u want too.. but pacman is still the B.E.S.T....
As of now, unfortunately there isn’t a whole of interest in the fight for some reason. I’ve got good idea why Pacquiao-Marquez III isn’t exciting fans like the other two bouts between them, and it has a lot to do with the fight being put together four years too late. Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum likes to wait on fights to let them build up interest so that he can maximize the PPV numbers.
However, that’s not what I see happening here. Marquez gave Pacquiao huge problems in the first two fights with many boxing fans seeing Pacquiao as having lost both fights. My impression is Arum chose to protect Pacquiao from a potential loss by not putting him back in with Marquez. But things are different now four years later.
Marquez is old now at 38, slower, and Pacquiao has gained a massive amount of weight and fights two divisions above Marquez. There isn’t any real catchweight to give Marquez a handicap in this fight, and essentially he’s going to be facing Pacquiao at nearly the full weight for the welterweight division at 144 lbs.
Given that Marquez is older, slower, and fighting out of his weight class, this puts Pacquiao in the driver’s seat for this bout. For this reason, I believe that the fans just don’t see Marquez as having a chance and they’ve already paid out the nose to see Pacquiao mismatches against an old Shane Mosley recently, Antonio Margarito, Miguel Cotto, and Joshua Clottey.
I think fans are a bit turned off towards Pacquiao after these series of fights because there hasn’t been one exciting fight for Pacquiao since 2008. That’s three long years of mismatches. It was a bad idea to put Pacquiao in with the nearly 40-year-old Mosley, yet that’s what Arum did. I think what we’re seeing here is a backlash with boxing fans not wanting to see another mismatch that is so clearly a mismatch just coming into the fight.
Like I said before, Arum needs to discount this PPV fight by $50 and sell it for $4.99, because Pacquiao is facing an old guy fighting two divisions out of his weight class. I think the card is too expensive for what we’re getting.
In order to get a money fight with Pacquiao you need to meet certain things first, You have to sign with Top Rank, You have to be shot or past your prime. You have to be coming off a recent beat down. You have to be at least 35 years old. You have to be beaten by Mayweather. You have to come in at a catch weight.
Pactards will of course say catchweights do not make a difference. Then why have them? YES THEY DO AFFECT A FIGHTER OR THEY WOULD NOT USE THEM dumb pactards.
If you meet some or most of these then maybe you can fight Pacquioa!!!
Guys, let's wait and see the result on this match....each fighter is preparing for this, Marquez even is guessing he would beat Pacman but i would say Pacquiao knocks Marquez on the seventh!
Let's support Pacman... Marquez is a lousy Mexican fighter who doesn't know what is defeat!
hehey. Let's revive this thread. What can you say. It's now less than a week before the fight tthat you thought and taught as o\]impossible. hahaha
pacman will win and then marquez will say: he should have fought me when i was still as strong as when i was 2 years ago...or in a lower weight. hahahja
and remember> marquez is higher and bigger than pacman. so becoming heavier should not bea problem to him.
we will see the outcome of this fight..maybe the people may say Marquez is old now that's why he lose the fight..the only thing why Marquez he want Pacquio to fight is just because Pacman is a superstar and number one in the world and very popular..and money..money is the main target of Marquez either he win or not has 5 million dollars. I think Marquez he cannot stay in the ring in round 3 because he is very old now and no power at all..
yep what just happened get a clue Pacquio is the obvious winner. Marquez kept backing up for the whole fight.
