Nobody willing to pay $50,000 for Juan Manuel Marquez's IBF mis-mandatory!

For the second time in three weeks the IBF held a purse bid for Juan Manuel Marquez to face his mandatory defense against F. Rakkiatgym, and for the second time in three weeks promoters Bob Arum or Murad Muhammad didn't bother to enter the $50,000 minimum bid on behalf of their fighters. Remember where you heard it first!
