Marquez the best opponent for Pacquiao to make a lot of money against next
December 28th, 2011
By Chris Williams: If Manny Pacquiao and his promoter Bob Arum’s main objective is to make the most money possible for the next fight for Pacquiao, then a fourth fight between him and Juan Manuel Marquez (53-6-1, 39 KO’s) is the direction they need to go in because Marquez will bring in more money than the other potential Pacquiao opponents Miguel Cotto, Timothy Bradley, and Lamont Peterson in early 2012.
The money is good for Pacquiao to fight Marquez, but the danger is high because Marquez know show to fight and has already pretty much beaten Pacquiao in all three of their past fights.
Marquez hasn’t been given the decisions, but he’s beaten Pacquiao and he deserved to win of the fights. But Marquez made Pacquiao look incredibly bad recently, and the better money that Pacquiao would get for a fight against Marquez might be worth it if Pacquiao is just going to get beaten again.
It’s maybe a better idea for Pacquiao to back to fighting the guys in Arum’s Top Rank stable so that there’s little risk of Pacquiao losing to any of them. We already know the money is better if Pacquiao were to have faced Mayweather ages ago, yet have we seen that fight happen? No, and we’re not going to either.
There’s money and there’s safety, and I think Pacquiao has been steered to safety. I haven’t seen Pacquiao kicking and screaming about it, so I have to assume he’s been cool with the matchmaking that Arum has done for him.

The only people that thinkpaquiao won over marquez are dumb filipinos. Look marquez not only won the fight. He did it at 38. Beyond his weight class and against a very dangerous opponent. The skill that marquez has is beyond paqiaos. . Any decent fighter will beat pacman next because marquez has done the task of exposing the guys vulnerable side. Notice that marquez walked to the left of paqiao this is what makes pacman loose next fight. Mayweather can totally destroy him
why would they fight again if we all know that arum would never let pacquiao lose?? he is going to pay the judges just like the last time
Move on Pacman, there’s no more money to be made in another fight with Juanma.
Cotto first fight with Pac …. Cotto wasnt at his best, young kid as his trainer…I like to see the rematch with his new trainer…think it would be a good one.
Floyd “Simply Scared” Mayweather Jr. will never fight Pacquiao. And it will be good to see Marquez beat Pacquiao all over again. Marquez is the top P4P kingxecutioner not the “all talkxecutioner” Mayweather.
Chris Williams is a joke.
i lift up things and put them down … DUH ….
@Sean
Quit the crying for goodness sakes…im sure you get killed in the ESPN forum bc you know nothing…if you really think jmm won youre another moron…to be the man you have to beat the man…not fighting backwards fool…
This link is for the real boxing fans(that)can focus for more then 2 min. Check the video and you’ll see why Marquez won

Manny better not fight anyone before May 5th or Arum and him were lying about-how bad Manny’s cut was. None of you clowns would last a minute on ESPN boxing message boards.Primitive thinking Paq fans on this site! Holla at me on ESPN mightfist1
LET IT GO PEOPLE!!! manny won 2 of the 3 fights and nothing will change with that so stop with the belly aching over the decision…to be the champ you have to beat the champ…not fight backwards and allow manny to dictate the pace of the fight and everything…there is no way anyone can win a championship fighting the way jmm fought just look at amir khan…you MUST stand your ground and fight not retreat…
the problem with this 4th fight if it were to happen is that its the judges are way off with there scoring…prime example is james kirkland vs alfredo angulo which was in mexico…2 of the 3 refs had angulo up and not just by 1 round either…upwards to 2-3 rounds which if anyone saw that fight is a mockery of the sport in every word…angulo at best won 2 rounds and thats even being generous…luckily kirkland got the stoppage since he wouldnt have won on the cards…so with that said do you really think it make sense to fight there???

Yes i would love to see a fourth fight, judges have been brainwashed just like pactards so of course all the fights are going to go to pacquiao.Just for you guys to know boxing is mafia know Bob Arum knows pacqiao is taking illegal substances ever since Arum watch his style of fighting.Arum had dollar signs i his eyes, ”Oh where going to make this kid real good were going to make him break records our ppv fights will sky rocket, will give him illegal substances so he can look unstoppable, no problem i will pay anyone high dollars so they wont tell anybody”. Weather you like it or not people thats what happened!
KO and brawl style fighting is not just only boxing. Boxing is about strategy and skill.
Manny fight Marquez with suitable strategy in trilogy.
Before the fight, Fredy Roach said they will use different strategy in Manny vs. Marquez Trilogy and he can not let Manny hurt like previous fights.
They did it exactly what they said before.
You may not be like Manny style in Trilogy but it was working perfectly with Marquez style. Actually, Marquez lost all three fights to Manny but Manny never comment about the judge who made error which led to decide the fight draw.
Marquez always said he was robbed by Judges. Why he and his promoter did not complain to athletic Commission if they strongly believe Judges’ decision was unfair and wrong? They know quite well Marquez was defeated fair and square by
Manny.
lmao ‘backstepper’
what a worthless pinoy.
Lol. Pac won the fight. Get over it. It was close but pacquiao got it by two points. Im glad pacquiao didnt destroy marquez, he’s a great fighter. But keep it real, pac was jumping in on a backstepper trying to give the fans a show. Bigups to pac for making the fight what it was.
Other than Mayweather its obvious Marquez is the 2nd biggest fight. He gave Pacman his best ppv # buys. And Marquez will beat Pacman a 4th time, w more body shots and uppercuts. MARK MY WORDS. even if he’s 40 yrs.
pactards dont know boxing at all they dont know how to score a fight there confused just like manny when they go to score cards .
boxing is skill just because jmm boxed out manny doesnt mke him lose jmm was smart learn about his mistakes he made previously and many is expose the only reason he wants floyd is because of the money if he gets a rematch with jmm it would be in mexico cause arum has vegas bought !! or they can fight at staples pactards should stop following manny and boxing stick to your own sport uki namnam lillad tumnam
Not a fourth fight,i would rather watch some kick my granny around the room..
People say Marquez won the three fight. Pacman won 1st and 3rd fight. Score is 2-1, if they fight again Marquez , will go down again
Pacquiao is sacared cause Marquez has his number
The truth of the matter, Juan Manuel Marquez is scared of Manny Pacquiao. He is just waiting and afraid to mix it up for fear of a KNOCKDOWN as it happened in the past. If Marquez carries the role of an offensive fighter, it might have been a different decision in their TRILOGY.
The fight is boring because Marquez is there only to survived. He is not there to win if he wanted to win he will engaged Pacquiao all rounds not waiting then counter.
The Chalenger needs to put presure to the Champion who ever he is period.
Marquez vs Pac III was boring because BOTH fighter were very cautious. Manny was extra careful not to engage completely and Marquez just adapts to any fighter style. I believe that Marquez overall has a much superior skill level over manny and he shouldnt fight Manny again he beat him three times already i dont want to see Manny get manny get KO. and if theres a fight with Mayweather and Pac it will be just as boring cuz Mayweather is one of the best counter punchers in boxing today so manny will not have a close chance on exposing mayweather. manny doesnt do good with high skill fighters. Period!!!
Pac will win again and Marquez will whine again and accuse the judges of robbery – what the hell is the point?
Pacquiao-Marquez 1V, would be boring because marquez is not aggressive fighter. The best is Mayweather vs. Marquez, to determine is more boring..
hahahaha! Marquez is going to beat him in a more convincing way . Marquez can knock pac out in each round 12times and they will still rob him.
Might as well fight Bradley a young undefeated on top of his game fighter. No more cotto marquez please
Just because 90 percent of those that saw the fight beleive Marquez won so they must be Floyd fans? YOU DUMMY!!!!! What does Floyd have to do with it at all?

All you cry babies who claim that Marquez won. I say to you, look at the boxing stats on any site. Looks to me that Pacman won. You are all little Floyd boy toys. Im sure you can find a couple of fights that Floyd Stole. Hmmmm, does Ortiz come to mind? Dont you all have letters to write to Floyd, or conjugal visits to plan. LOL!
…………………
hello! peterson for pac? are you seriuos? of course pac will easily win this fight… good match? how you called it a good match up where you already kwno the outcome, now i understand why pactards were created, im a fan of pac but im sure im not pactards, i want pac to face the best, WHY?

how can lamont peterson be an opponent for manny? the only way he beat khan was because the ref was a fraud. manny should fight marquez but in dallas where the judges there will give him a better chance to pull a decision. if there is a fourth fight manny needs to go after marquez an knock him out. even if he’s getting countered he has to go in reckless with his speed to get a knockout
who is going to watch this fight? it will be a fourth robbery
@ha ha ha
Why don’t you and floyd just get a room?
no matter how many times they fight and how many times
marquez makes him look ordinary he’ll never get
the decision. it will always go tobthat hyped up
fighter pacquiao
@ cornerman
you know you like mayweather but you wont admit it, instead you choose to worship a guy who has not fought any live bodies in years with the exception of marquez.
the people have spoken and the vast majority say marquez whipped pacquiao live with it and learn something about boxing.
p.s the first comment from your daddy bob arum after the pacquiao vs marquez 3 fight was WE ARE NOT INTERESTED IN FIGHTING FLOYD MAYWEATHER AT THIS TIME.
and still as a pacquiao fan you still call floyd the coward even though pac’s own team is looking to fight someone else. and now that floyd is going to jail you have your perfect excuse to say floyd is scared so scared that he CHOSE JAIL OVER A FIGHT WITH PACQUIAO how stupid is that
We do not want to see Pacquiao get beat up by Marquez again.. We know Manny will get another decision, who tf cares? We know Juan is the better fighter, that is old news. Pac should move on to other top fighters that are coming off sensational wins. NOT LOSSES..
Who would want to watch this sh*t again seriously? only for pacman to steal the fight off of marqeuz,
Nothing new from Chris Williams. For a change follow your idol to prison and make a detailed correspondence of his activities inside. Who knows you might witness your idol being proclaimed the “sweetest” inmate of all time!
And Pac is on drugs.
This has to be the worst hyped fighter in a very long time.
People need to wake up and find a new idol.
Mexican beat Pac 3 times already. Pac got exposed. lol
Pacquiao is done with the Mexican, It’s time for the Americans, Tim Bradly, Mike Jones, Lamont Peterson and Floyd Mayweather, Line them up!
@free64fun, Arum give more money to Pacquiao opponents than Floyd, Cotto (7 million), Margarito(6M) Mosly(6M) Marquez 111 (5M) while Floyd gave Ortiz just 2 Million because he wants all the money. Floyd is greedy and coward!
PACQUIAO-MARQUES 4? IT BECOME MOST WORST AND BORING FIGHT IN THE BOXING HISTORY. PACMAN IS STILL THE GREATEST FIGHTER IN BOXING HISTORY.
Hey coach Freddie,,, It should be Lamont Peterson to defend his titles to Manny Pacquiao at 140 lbs. Coach Freddie, when Manny fought and slaughtered Ricky Hatton at 140 lbs, did he won a major championship title? Even Top Rank website did not recognized him as a champion at Jr. Welterweight!!! It’s time Pacquiao to become a champion at Jr. Welterweight division! Give him that opportunity coach Freddie

Arum can get bradley for 2mil.
I think the 4th fight with Marquez will be boring, I like the first two fight because it was full of action, the third fight was less action because both of them were careful to initiate attack, the fourth fight will make them extra careful which resulted of a boring fight. Pacquiao will not make more money in this fight because Marquez asking money is 20 Million. Arum can get Bradly for 5 Million.
LAMONT PETERSON vs MANNY PACQUIAO
“WBA-IBF Jr. Welterweight championship”
Sense good right?
Why this author always believe Marquez won when in 3 fights, Pacman won 2 times, got a draw because a judge scored it incorrectly in favor of Marquez. Compubox showed it Pacman won in recent fight. In the recent fight where Marquez did not kiss the canvas, how doest it automatically mean marquez did won? People expected Marquez to hit the floor but he had just a swollen face instead. So how does it interpret to a win?
You don’t see JMM filing a sissy appeal like Khan.Sure he complained but he would like another shot at Manny.Even if he’s going on 50yrs old.
Mr Williams (mentally ill writer) Pacquiao can still collect a excellent ppv result with or without fighting Marquez. I don’t think Pacquiao should fight this old crying man again. Not because Pacquiao afraid of Marquez but because Marquez will again cry and shout that he is being cheated again again. Pacquiao will only give millions of dollar again to this man if he decided to fight Marquez . Pacqauio has nothing to prove against Marquez, he already beaten this old man thrice.
Marquez will lose again and people like you, Floyd and his family and supporters will say Marquez was robbed again.
Nothing new. Pac will always be in a no-win situation for people who hates and envy him.
i hate arum
