Nope. SHOWTIME refused SKYs bid. Load of poop.
Disgraceful. This is going to be yet another classic.
I'd prefer it to Pacman v Marquez TBH. This could well end up being one of the best trilogies of recent times.

I'm just happy that Israel Vasquez is finally getting the credit he deserves. A brilliant pressure fighter with underrated skills, I've had him in me top 10 p4p for a few years.
Let's not forget he stopped Larios' golden run, and had a wonderful up and down thriller with Gonzales, which was a superb fight and showcased Vasquez' heart and toughness.
Vasque has been one of my favourite fighters for some time now, but I really can't pick him over Marquez.
As an aside, are the MArquez brothers the best brothers in boxing history?

Possibly - but what about Klitschkos and Galaxy brothers?

Marquez bros are way ahead of the Klitschkos in my book and the Galaxy brothers were a little one sided in terms of world level achievement IMO.
Yep, for my money the Marquez brothers are the premier brothers in boxing..

Yeah, Klitschkos are a pair of hype jobs. Not even in the same league as the Marquez boys.
Just think, if R beats Vasquez, and JM beats manny, they may make up 2 of the top 5 p4p boxers in the world.

I'd have Eric and Diego Morales ahead of the Klitchsko's.
