I say boo. There are too many upcoming, young and hungry fighters out there for them to keep fighting each other. I'm more interested in seeing fights that will bridge the gaps between generations. It would be different if fighters fought several times a year like they did in the past but with established professionals only fighting twice a year, I'd personally rather see a different match-up.

If Pacquiao needs to fight Marquez to bring the best out of himself then maybe he should hang up the gloves. I'd rather see a Bradley rematch. Boring or not, there is unfinished business left with Bradley.

I'm not usually one who dogs Arum. I tend to think that sometimes he gets more credit and attention than he deserves. However, it's hard not to look at this as a puppet master move.

To each his own... but to me, no interest.

No, just simply no.

I could name a whole lot of reasons why I don't want another one of these but the biggest reason i don't want to see it or like the idea of this fight happening is because its keeping one of the best fights available from happening in morales vs marquez. They are both still in the game very smart and know how to put on a show and they are two of the top Mexican fighters of our generation who have not fought each other. These guys need to get this shit done and give the people a show, you know this would do numbers and put some well deserved cash in their pockets. And what better way to top off two incredible careers than a having two legends squaring off.

I'm gonna keep it real for the Pac fans (keep it trill<<for the young folks):

Arum is doing the Duck and Dodge game with Pac again but this time instead of Ducking Floyd he has Manny Ducking Bradley, it's awfully strange how he is so willing to do the Chavez vs Martinez fight that he (Bob, himself) expects to do around 500K PPV buys but doesn't find it profitable or claims the networks aren't interested in the rematch between Pac and Brad that he (Bob, himself) expects to sell between 800-900K PPV buys.

I'd like to go on record and say that Pac vs Brad II would make even more than their first fight based on the ASSumed scoring controversy of their first fight and all of the Pac faithful wanting to see Manny get his revenge. Another strange and repeated Bob Arum trick into the guilding the unsuspecting public is to once again Not Release the PPV Numbers for some of Pac's supposedly biggest bouts, why not give the public those numbers if they're so great and Manny is supposedly so onpar with Floyd concerning PPV numbers???

I just can't understand why Pac's fans doesn't see that Bob Arum is the reason why Pac vs Floyd is going to never happen and why Bob Arum is really afraid of Pac vs Brad II because he knows that in both fights Manny loses convincingly and his Cash Cow is no longer viable.

While I consider myself a huge boxing fan and on the strength of wanting to see a good fight alone that I'd be interested in a Pac vs Marquez IV, still I would not want to see it ahead of a Pac vs Floyd nor a Pac vs Brad II rematch.

It's time for Pacquiao fans to wake up and stop drinking the Bob Arum Kool LIEaid.

If Bob really was putting this fight out there for the reasons he said, he should make it a non PPV fight. Same with Bradley. If you feel everyone got cheated, including the fans, make it free on HBO or Showtime. I damn sure aint buying that shit.

I have a question...... Has there EVER been a Trilogy or Quadrilogy (I'm not sure that's even a word) in boxing which one fighter hasn't ever won? I have enjoyed the Pac/Marquez fights..... Doesnt Pac have more to lose? But what more can Marquez do? We all know that the ONLY way Marquez wins is via KO........ N that seems very unlikely. Damn shame....

+1. They could fight a million times and the outcome will probably be the same lol. Marquez is the better boxer but doesn't have the punching power to win over the judges and/or get a KO, so unless Pernell Whitaker, Bernard Hopkins or someone else who enjoys pure boxing becomes a judge, they will ultimately end with the same outcome. O yea...and Quadrilogy is a word!

i'm not interested in watching jmm school pac yet again. first fight should have gone to pac by 1 point...even though jmm clearly won more rounds. the knockdowns did him in. in the 2nd and 3rd fights...i had jmm winning clearly. he has pac's number and it's obvious to me that pac and roach cannot make the adjustments to beat him. no need for a rematch. jmm is the better fighter. if i miss this one...it won't be a big deal.

bradley rematch would be the last nail in the coffin....i get it. avoid that at all cost because bradley will beat him more clearly this time. hbo painted that controversial...run with it and avoid the rematch that erases all doubt.

cotto...they won't fight him unless they have an advantage...i.e. crazy catchweight. at 150 or above...cotto beats pac and that would shine a bright light on the advantages of facing dehydrated opposition which would in turn make pac's "legacy" less admirable.

i won't discuss the mayweather option because we know that ain't happening.

other options....

brandon rios is tailor made for pac and would restore the aura of invincibility.

recently signed jessie vargas is a nother guy that can be served up to make pac look good again.

those bouts could prolong the "reign" and make him look amazing again.

Pac would be murdered by the public and on websites like this if he fought Vargas.

Hell, I wasn't even all that interested in ordering the 3rd fight, but talking to you guys damn near every day, made me buy it. Besides, if the undercard is pretty good for the 4th fight, then Im all in.

Bob could at least do us that much of a favor, and make sure that the undercard doesn't disappoint. Anyhow, I wont complain, at least windbag Arum is giving us Chavez/Martinez and Rios/Alvarado...he has my presidential vote for at least doing that much.

Give me, Arce/Rojas II, Rigondeaux/TBA, Vargas/M. Jones...all on the JMM/Pac IV undercard, then I wouldn't mind gasping for air after seeing my next month's cable bill. One thing's for sure, it's never a tough task to promote a JMM/Pac fight.

I agree.

What's even funnier, is that Pac fans are crying about Cotto not wanting to come down to 150, as if it's his fault, and not Manny's. The midget needs to fight Miguel at 154, and HIS ass needs to weigh in at 150, or he could even come in at 148...but dont try to drain another man.

That should tell the story for everybody out there, who blames Cotto. Why wont Manny fight the guy at his regular weight, and come in at 148 or 150? Im no longer buying that horseshit about "Manny is a small guy" from the public. It's been long enough Manny, fight in your division, or keep it movin' buddy. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)
