mandatory challenger xa ron but he's writting WBC to give it to someone else....who's advising him this time ATIENZA AGAIN?

[tackielarla]

Ugok jud mga advisers niya oi. Marquez was the other fish who got away. He should fight him and settle once and for all who is the better man.

UPDATE:
Manny Pacquiao is not running away from Juan Manuel Marquez.

He never did. He never will.

The Filipino superstar, branded a coward for declining the position as mandatory challenger to the Mexican champion, said he’s willing to face Marquez in September but in his own terms.

“Bakit ako matatakot sa kanya eh tatlong beses ko siya tinumba noon (Why should I be scared of him when I knocked him down thrice before),” Pacquiao told The STAR Tuesday evening.

“Kami ang may offer sa kanya. Kapag tumanggi siya, bakla siya (We’ll make an offer to him. If he refuses, he’s a sissy),” said Pacquiao as he left the Sheraton Hotel where he dined with family and friends.

Last week, the Pacquiao camp formally informed the World Boxing Council they are declining the lofty position, and asked the governing body to name a new challenger for Marquez.

Under WBC set-up, the champion gets 75 percent of the total purse, and the challenger 25 percent. In this case, Pacquiao feels that he deserves more, being the more popular, more exciting fighter.

“Basta, may offer kami sa kanya (We will just give him an offer),” added Pacquiao, who did not mention any amount although it’s very safe to say that it’ll be in the millions of dollars.

Closing the doors on the WBC mandate does not mean that Pacquiao is scared of Marquez, whom he knocked down thrice in the first round of their 2004 showdown that ended in a controversial draw.

Meanwhile, Pacquiao will be with his promoter, Bob Arum of Top Rank, in the US this week. They are expected to map out their immediate plans, including a possible fight against Marquez or anyone among a list of candidates.

Pacquiao is only hoping that Marquez learned a lesson from Marco Antonio Barrera who was offered early this year by Top Rank $5 million just to face the Filipino hotshot.

But Barrera, under Oscar dela Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions, which is Top Rank’s bitter rival, said no. Instead, he faced Marquez last March 17 for a much lesser price.

It turned out to be a mistake as Barrera lost his 130-lb title to Marquez, who is also under Golden Boy.

Barrera would have felt better losing to Pacquiao, but with millions more in his bank account.

“May ibibigay kaming offer kay Marquez (We will give Marquez an offer),” Pacquiao repeated.

Then the ball is back with Marquez and Golden Boy.

He will fight Marquez but not on their terms. Kasi the problem was that since mandatory challenger sha, he is only entitled to 25% of the profit while the champ gets (I think) 50-75%. This is $%^ since Pacman is the bigger star than Marquez thus drawing more money.

But based sa article sa Philstar, they are going to give Marquez an offer about sa payment scheme nila. And I hope Marquez won't back off from this challenge like the last time. :mrgreen:
