That was a Pacquiao-Hatton like KO. Marquez looked like he was dead, i think most people understand how close marquez was to going down late in that round. pacquiao was unloading at will with huge left hands, his nose is likely broken lol he landed 46% of punches while marquez was at 21%. Props to marquez but that shit came out of nowhere lol If anything this is a blessing in disguise, mayweather will probably finally have the balls to take the fight. | ||

I don't like explaining this everytime, but Bob Arum is the one stopping the fight from happening, not Mayweather. Anyway... about that gif: ![[image loading]](http://thebiglead.fantasysportsven.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/pacquiao-ko-marquez.gif) | ||

Answering the post above considering that Marquez's value has gone up a lot with this KO and that Floyd Mayweather Jr already is scheduled to fight on 5 de mayo's weekend - the mexican holiday - it makes sense to him to put a second fight against Marquez, the problem is that he already beat him so easily in 2009 that maybe the public is not interested, Mayweather's second option is WBC interim welterweight champion Robert Guerrero who had an impressive win against Andre Berto but he's not nearly as popular as Marquez, I'm guessing even if the public shows no interest in Marquez vs Mayweather II the PPV would still be bigger than against Guerrero and then it makes a lot of sense to put that fight together for Money May. | ||

His cash cow isnt no more? They probably will make a Pacquiao vs Marquez V. Given the fact if they can get it in by next year. But idk cause Marquez is gonna be turning 40 soon. so. We will have to just see in time. | ||

Yeah... It looks like it's lining up to be Guerrero in the first half of the year, and Canelo in September. | ||

He can start building a cash cow out of Nonito Donaire while Filipinos are still riding the boxing hype. | ||

Donaire is already 29 and won't be a PPV star, plus there is a huge risk Guillermo Rigondeaux beats him, that's why Nonito has been dodging him for some time now. Top rank is finished. | ||

LOL. Not to mention he can't even find an opponent for Bradley. Arum is in a tough spot. As mentioned above, Donaire is his only hope for now. Rigondeaux is good, but not marketable enough. | ||

Rigondeaux is good, but not marketable enough. I edited my comment, hehe. I'm happy because Top Rank sometimes is a joke, it seems to me they really set up the Bradley robbery... that was one of the worse decisitions I've ever seen, Bob Arum was saying some days before that fight that in the case of Bradley winning there would be an inmmediate rematch and then when the fight is over Bradley tells him "sorry I couldn't do it" but Arum still hugged him like he was his son, then the horrible decisition. Karma is a bitch. | ||
