Manny can't do no wrong. He can duck and dodge fighters and it's all good because his fans will make excuses for him.
The first rematch offer:
Since the 2004 draw both fighters’ lives have drawn separate paths. Pacquiao achieved superstar celebrity status in the Philippines with each win, including two sensational stoppages of Morales, a 6th round stoppage over Mexican Hector Velazquez, a decision win in Manila against tough Mexican Oscar Larios, and a rematch points victory over Barrera. It’s no wonder that the affable Pac-Man has been ominously dubbed the “Mexican Killer.” Marquez’s road to Saturday night has not been as rewarding. After tedious decision wins over Orlando Salido and Victor Polo that only boxing purists could appreciate, Marquez turned down over $1 million to fight a rematch with Pacquiao in order to fight Chris John in Indonesia for a fraction of that—a fight he lost.
The trilogy:
Marquez Wanted 50-50 Split
By Mark Vester
Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer told Sports Illustrated that he was approached on Thursday by Top Rank for a trilogy bout between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez. A shocking demand was made by Marquez. He requested a 50-50 split on the money with Pacquiao. For a guy chasing a Pacquiao trilogy since their 2008 rematch, Marquez found an amazing way to say "no thank you."

Again this is factual.
And Tony I'm not leaving you out, so don't feel left behind, I'll continue schooling the retards you included.
After Morales beat Pacquiao, they agreed to rematch eachother. They agreed to both have a tune up fight and both of their fights were on the same card at the Staples Center, with the idea to build up the rematch in a big PPV. Pacquiao fought Hector Velazquez in the co-feature and Erik Morales fought Raheem in the main event. Morales shockingly lost, but since pac & morales agreed to fight they did anyway, plus pac wanted to get his revenge.
