Marquez definitely landed the more telling blows and in fact had some 27 more power punches than Bradley.
Despite the controversy about the decision Arum told us “It was a terrific fight, great atmosphere. The staging was good so everybody here loved it and we did very well on pay-per-view” although no numbers have yet been disclosed.
Discussing what is likely to happen since Beltran said if Marquez decides to continue fighting instead of retiring which is what his family wants him to do, then a rematch in Mexico is the only possibility because Marquez isn’t interested in fighting in Las Vegas again.
But Arum scuttled the thought when he told Yahoo Philippines quite categorically that Bradley “would not draw a big crowd in Mexico.”
He followed this up with a realistic although intriguing comment in which he said “the only one who would draw in Mexico is Manny Pacquiao.”
When pressed on whether a fifth Pacquiao-Marquez fight is a possibility, Arum replied “I have no idea whether it’s a possibility. I have not talked to both fighters - Manny or Marquez.”
Beltran however, according to Arum, “would love to get the fight and put on a huge event in the Azteca Stadium in Mexico with support from a huge financier.”
Arum said “whether its doable or not –I’m not making any plans until after this weekend (after the Mike “Mile High” Alvarado WBO light welterweight title defense against Provodnikov) and after November 24” when Pacquiao faces Brandon “Bam Bam” Rios in Macau for the WBO International welterweight title.
To even discuss it, said Arum, would be “a waste of time.”
