What?s fair is fair. Can Juan Manuel Marquez make a big purse with anyone other than Manny Pacquiao? I don?t think so, do you?
So let?s do the right thing if, indeed, this is going to be Megamanny?s March 15 fight. Let Pacman out of the financial strait jacket which says he can only get 57 percent of the total purse if his opponent is a Golden Boy fighter.
Let Oscar and his pals stretch what Manny gets to 70 percent and give 30 percent to the champ. Pacquaio is the name which will sell the PPV, not JMM?s. I mean even Stevie Wonder can see that.
I know this will bring 1,000 emails trashing this ?White Gorilla? but it says here Manny Pacquaio remains the most underpaid superstar in boxing. Yet he continues to be treated like some bargain basement product.
It?s past time that Manny himself does something about this inequity.
If GBP and/or Bob Arum do not want to pay MP Superstar properly, then forget about Marquez and start looking seriously at unbeaten Juan ?Baby Bull? Diaz.
If Pacquaio can defeat Juan, he would snap up three world title belts, not one and the public would be much more impressed than if he beats Marquez.
