source: philstar.comJuan Manuel Marquez has approved the terms offered by Top Rank Inc. for a fight with Manny Pacquiao in November, The Los Angeles Times reported today.
Golden Boy Promotions, Marquez's promoter, has the contractual ability to match Top Rank's offer to Marquez.
Richard Schaefer, Golden Boy's chief executive, said Top Rank is offering Marquez $5 million to fight Pacquiao at a catch weight of 144 pounds.
Pacquiao and Marquez previously figured in two controversial bouts – one that ended in a disputed draw in 2009 and the other resulting in a split-decision win for Pacquiao in 2008.
Trainer Freddie Roach has been very vocal about making a Pacquiao-Marquez rubber match.
“The only sensible fight out of the three is Marquez, in my opinion. They have history,” Roach said a few days after Pacquiao won via a unanimous decision over Shane Mosley at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas last Sunday.
