Ofrecen 15 millones a Márquez en Dubai/ Marquez offered $15 million to face Marali
El púgil mexicano Juan Manuel “Dinamita” Márquez tiene una oferta de 15 millones de dólares para combatir en Dubai, en abril próximo, contra Zolani Marali, informó este lunes el entrenador Ignacio Beristáin en el gimnasio Romanza.
“Le ofrecieron a Juan Manuel, 15 millones de dólares libres de impuestos por combatir en Dubai contra Zolani Marali, el campeón superligero de la Federación Mundial de Boxeo y esa oferta no se puede rechazar”, abundó.
El mentor veracruzano comentó que la decisión la tomará Juan Manuel Márquez, “es el único que puede decidir, porque él se sube al ring, pero no va a pelear por tortillas duras y esa oferta millonaria no la va a rechazar”.
Beristáin fue cuestionado de que Fernando Beltrán mencionó como posibles rivales del capitalino a Jessie Vargas y Vyacheslav Senchenko, “no los conozco, pero debe haber buen dinero para convencer a Juan Manuel”.
“Dinamita” Márquez aplicó espectacular nocaut al filipino Manny Pacquiao en su cuarto combate en la arena Garden, del hotel casino MGM Grand de Las Vegas, Nevada y disfruta de vacaciones, “para su siguiente pelea deberá entrenar cuatro meses, como lo hizo ante el Pacman”, finalizó.

According to trainer/manager Ignacio “Nacho” Beristain, a rich prince in Dubai has put together a written offer of $15 million dollars to see Juan Manuel Marquez face the junior welterweight champion of the World Boxing Federation (WBF), Zolani Marali (22-5, 13 KO’s) of South Africa. Marquez is being lined up to return in the month on April, in a tuneup for a fifth fight with Manny Pacquiao in September.
Nacho says despite the big offer for a fight in Dubai, promoters Bob Arum of Top Rank and Fernando Beltran of Zanfer are at the head of the line to stage Marquez’s next fight.
“At a function in Morelia, the president of the WBF (Howard Goldberg), an association that works more in Europe and Africa, was told me to tell me that a prince was interested in Juan and sent a written proposal to face Zolani Marali,” Nacho said. “It has a formal offer of $15 million to fight in Dubai, but Bob Arum and Fernando Beltran have priority.”
The proposal has a date in March, which Nacho says is not possible because Marquez has not been training. Even a date in April would be tough, says Nacho, but at least that is possible given the circumstances.
“I think that is not enough time for Juan to fight, because he is usually prepared very well and he knows he can not go into a fight with little preparation, so I do not think that anything will happen on that date,” he said.
