JAKARTA - Former Mexican world champion Juan Manuel Marquez has announced that he has turned down a $150 million offer to fight Manny Pacquiao for the fifth time.
Marquez visited Puerto Rico, where he announced an alliance with Miguel Cotto to promote the fight. On Pulau Pesona he went to the SoLpresa program hosted by youtuber Chente Ydrach.
Marquez faced Manny Pacquiao for the fourth time on December 8, 2012. In the first three fights, the Filipino boxer won two wins and a draw.
The fourth bout took place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was the turn of the Mexican boxer who won a surprise knockout in the sixth round. This is the most important victory of his career.

After the victory, there was a lot of talk about the fifth fight. However, Marquez refused.
"They offered on table 150 million US dollars for the fifth fight but I said 'no I don't want a fifth fight. Better pride, dignity, love for sport' and the most important victory of my life because we beat the best for-pound fighter at the time," said the Mexican boxer.
El "Dinamita" retired from boxing in 2014, has a lifetime record of 56 wins, 40 of them by knockout, and a margin of 7 losses. In June 2022 he was inducted into the World Boxing Hall of Fame in Canastota, New York.
