by

mayweather43334By Francisco Gurrola, According to Mediotiempo.com, 41-year-old Juan Manuel Marquez (56-7-1, 40 KOs) is interested in a rematch against Floyd Mayweather Jr. (48-0, 26 KOs) before he retires from the sport. Marquez wants the fight even though he hasn’t fought since May of 2014.

Zanfer Promotions president, Fernando Beltran, who Marquez has been working with for years now, is already looking for the next rival for Marquez to fight, which could be Mayweather or Kell Brook. “We are already looking for a rival, logically he still continues and will continue in rehabilitation, but if he feels at 100% we will have some offers lined up for him,” said Beltran.

Marquez not interested in Mayweather rematch

by

marquez2By Chris Williams: Juan Manuel Marquez says he has no interest in facing WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. in a rematch, according to Mexican news site oem.com.mx. Marquez, 39, fought Mayweather in 2009 and lost a lopsided 12 round unanimous decision to the bigger and faster fighter. Marquez still hasn’t decided whether to continue his career or not. His family still wants him to retire without ever fighting again, but he’s still undecided.

If Marquez does continue his boxing career it’ll only be for one more fight, he says, and it won’t be in the United States due to the high taxes that is taken out of his purse. Marquez complains that he loses 30% of his purse when he fights in the U.S, and after paying management and other people on his team, he winds up with half of his original purse.

Mayweather/Marquez 2…..Anyone?

by

Image: Mayweather/Marquez 2…..Anyone?By Robert Elmore: The 4th installment of Manny Pacquiao versus Juan Manuel Marquez is not sitting well with too many boxing fans. Marquez has taken Pac to the brink, but has come up short on three occasions. It seems that Pacquiao cannot separate himself from his nemesis.

It also had become apparent that Marquez did not and has not called for a rematch against undefeated WBC welterweight /WBA junior middleweight champion Floyd Mayweather and neither has the public. In 2009, after a two year layoff, Mayweather dominated Marquez for 12 rounds. He landed a record setting 69 percent of his punches while Marquez landed 12 percent of his.

Will the Pacquiao – Marquez Trilogy be competitive?

Image: Will the Pacquiao - Marquez Trilogy be competitive?By John F. McKenna (McJack): Everyone concedes that when World Boxing Organization (WBO)/ World Boxing Association (WBA) lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez (53-5-1, 39 KO’s) takes on WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao (53-3-2, 38 KO’s) he will either win or go out on his shield in the attempt. There is no quit in “Dinamita”. He has too much pride for that.

Ranking Floyd Mayweather Jr. in the Top Fifty of All Time

by

Image: Ranking Floyd Mayweather Jr. in the Top Fifty of All TimeBy Joseph Hirsch: Love him or hate him, it’s getting mighty hard to make a case against Floyd Mayweather Jr. being an all-time great. The main sticking point for people who believe he doesn’t belong near the top of the list is that unlike greats like “Sugar” Ray Robinson, he doesn’t have over one-hundred fights and therefore cannot be considered in the same breath.

Pacquiao’s PPV numbers against Clottey don’t compare to Mayweather-Marquez numbers

by

Image: Pacquiao’s PPV numbers against Clottey don’t compare to Mayweather-Marquez numbersBy Chris Williams: If Manny Pacquiao wanted to get an even split of a future revenue split in a fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr., he didn’t help himself with his numbers for his March 13th bout against Joshua Clottey. ESPN reported today that the Pacquiao-Clottey fight netted just 700,000 pay-per-view buys. That might be a decent number for a fight against a little known fighter like Clottey, but sadly they don’t compare to the numbers that Mayweather brought in with his 1 million PPV buys in his last fight against Juan Manuel Marquez last September.

Mayweather-Marquez takes in 1 Million PPV Sales – News

by

By Chris Williams: HBO is announcing that last weekend’s bout between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Juan Manuel Marquez has brought in an incredible 1 million pay-per-view buys, bringing in $52 million dollars. If this number is in fact true, and not some bogus number thrown up by HBO to try and make the Mayweather-Marquez event look bigger and better than it was perceived, then I see it as a bad thing for boxing.

Could Mayweather-Marquez reach 1.6 Million Buys?

by

marquez43434By Chris Williams: If the latest news reports are too believed, the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Juan Manuel Marquez fight could go as high as 1.6 million pay-per-view buys, if you believe the early reports. All I can say is that if these numbers aren’t bogus, like I think they are, there’s a lot of casual boxing fans who have no clue about the sport.

Juan Manuel Marquez, they stole his Dynamite

Now that the dust has settled and after reading countless articles I finally decided to put my take on the weekends ‘big fight’ however my angle is different to what has dominated most sports/boxing pages with the exception of a few.
