the fact that the previous three were close is irrelevant. JMM turned down the rematch offered to him after the first fight. He then went and lost to John(debatable robbery). After that, Pac didn't have to fight him again. They were on two different financial levels and JMM's rank dropped enough where nobody was demanding the match.. it was on Pac's mind though.. he wanted to have another fight.. he gave JMM another opportunity. Then the third fight, JMM had gotten completely dominated by Floyd and struggled with guys like Juan Diaz at lower weights. Not very many people cared to see a third because most assumed that Pac was on a new level and JMM was faded. Pac gave him that opportunity and they had their closest fight ever. And then this last fight, a lot of people had the feeling that we were just going to see more of the same from the two.. there were certainly more options out there that Pac could have taken without being too heavily criticized.. but he decided to go with JMM again..
Each time he did this, he could have gotten away with not doing it.. so JMM kinda owes him one imo..
but w/e.. if it happens it happens.
I really don't understand how people can watch JMM go to the brink of defeat to snatch victory and call it anything but close..lol.. I just don't understand that way of thinking.
