Same money (assuming legit Arum offer, that is). Likely bigger PPV share. Lineal title. :fuckyou:

Blame the boxing media for not forcing Pretty Boy to fight Margarito or look like a bum- because they did not make it an all-or-nothing endevor for him. Blame the Mayweather fan base for not pushing their man to fight Antonio- for not seeing him as the only legitimate fight right now. Blame the casual boxing fan for not knowing who Antonio Margarito really is. Lastly, blame the Margarito fans for not being so numerous the fight between their man and Floyd was inevitable- like one with De la Hoya.
Point: there are many people to blame for Floyd not fighting Margarito. Those who don't care if it happens, those who did not make it happen, and those who didn't try hard enough to ensure it happened.
Blame me: I am more than interested in a Baldomir fight right now for the legitimacy it can give Mayweather at 147. At least the semblance of.
If by "PBF ducked Margarito", you mean:
1) PBF is choosing to fight the linear, recognized, and legitimate welterweight champion
2) PBF is fighting the guy who had a high profile win on Showtime, followed by a high-profile win on HBO
3) PBF is fighting a guy with a better resume IN THE PAST SIX MONTHS than Margarito has HIS WHOLE CAREER
4) PBF is making AT MINIMUM the same and possibly CONSIDERABLY more money fighting Baldomir than fighting Margarito
...If that is what you mean by "PBF ducked Margarito", then hell yeah: PBF DUCKED MARGARITO.
How blind can you be dude. Everyone knows this fight will be a blowout for PBF.
Baldo is one of the lightest punchers out there with a very low KO percentage. lols!
Plain and basic common sense dictates PBF is just milking this one.
PBF doesn't deserve to be p4p number 1. He's a ducker and a shit-hole talker who's just all talk but when somebody stands up to him and issues him a challenge, he goes ducking. Add also chickening.
Add also, he starts to talk in circles and in the end, he eats them all up.
LOL......yes he ducked him.
your pathetic, you should leave these forums immediately. duplicity states facts and you reply with this bullshit. i expect nothing less fucking moron. :rolleyes:
thank you...............................
what are you thanking him for? He is actually discussing boxing. You dont know shit about boxing which has already been proven in this thread.
yeah Baldi is the TOUGHEST fight out there! LOL
no point in even discussing the sport with you..your not a boxing fan your a Floyd fan
i'm a true boxing fan moron. your not a boxing fan your a floyd hater. you start bullshit threads and it's amazing you didn't start this one because that's all you talk about. you cry like a little bitch about every opponent floyd fights or about to fight because it's not marg. it's ok to feel like marg should be the floyd's next fight but you and every other marg fan (which came out of the wood work lately) blow this guy up like he has the best resume and is already established which he is clearly not.
I think Baldo comes forward about as much as Margo does, there's a big difference in power and body shots though!
I think he comes forward more than Marg and has way better foot work. But I guess that argueable. I'll rewatch some fights in a bit.
I'll chalk this up to you dont know and that you are ignorant and biased. I have seen both fight more than a few times and Baldi is just as tough a fighter as Margarito and actually applies more pressure than Toney does. To me these fighters are on the same level skill wise and both present some difficulties for Mayweather but I dont think either beats him on Floyds best night. On his worse night they both have a chance.

why he is a tougher fight? i cant help you with that, its called common sense..for 1 Floyd dont wanna fight Marg..thats one reason why..but if you have seen the two fight and you feel Baldi is a tougher opponent..thats your problem. if he fought Spinks u be saying Spinks is tougher..if he fought Williams you'd be saying he is tougher.... called be a nut hugger

great reasons jackass :rolleyes:
gee, thought we all actually watched boxing in here, guess i was wrong..he beat JUDAH, big deal,,and Gatti?? same one that lost to Ward???
u guys are a joke, i respect Baldi...but if u think he is a harder fight then Marg, you're a joke..
but, that being said, i stil think Baldi could be a tough fight.
You still haven't explained why. Im waiting.
This will be a better fight then most of you think. Also, this was a very good post for the PBF haters. Don't make me search through the threads to see how many of you posted "OMGZ!#?!@ FLOYD IS DUCKING MARG ! HE TURNED DOWN 8 MIL!, THERS NO WAI HEL GET THAT MUCH FIGHTING ANY1 ELSE!! HE PROB MAKE LIKE 2 MIL VS BLADI!?#!11!eleven@$" Regardless I want to see this fight, and if Marg wants a shot at Floyd he needs to step up, I don't dislike either but Marg hasn't earned it, Baldi did....
very well said. it's good to see some still have common sense around here.
Yeah yeah same money. :D But does that change anything dickhead?
The fact still remains that PBF ducked Margarito. Live with it sucka!

Yes, it changes something. Name Margarito's claim to fame. A draw and a TD loss against Daniel Santos, beating a Kermit Cintron that came off surgery on both hands AND the longest inactivity stretch in his career, and beating a 6-heads Lewis that had been destroyed two fights earlier by Ricardo Mayorga. Don't get me wrong, I think Margarito is a good fighter but his last PPV generated a whoping 30K PPV buys.
Both of PBF's last PPVs generated over 350,000 buys (against Gatti and Judah). This card will generate at least that many. Against Margarito, I doubt he would've surpassed 225,000. Baldy has more of a name, he's the recognized champ at 147, and, IMHO, has a much better record than Margarito. Baldy hasn't lost in 9 years and, in that time, he's beat such fighters as Gatti, Judah, MA Rodriguez, and Joshua Clottey. He'll also attract the Argentina money which, if you know them at all, you know that the PPV numbers from Argentina will be close to 100K.
So, there is plenty of money to throw around. PBF makes is 8M, Baldy makes is 4M (he has stated numerous times that he's not fighting PBF for less than that), and the fans get the best available fight at 147 for PBF.

How the hell do you know Baldomir is an easier fight than Marg thats a biased statement and completely ignorant. Especially when Baldo has beaten the better opposition and actually won a legit title. Marg isn't even a real champ he won a vacated belt then got beat by the guy who previously held it. Please enlighten me on how Marg is a tougher opponent.
agree 100%, but be prepared when charlie(fucking idiot)31 and all of his marg nuthugging friends come in here and jump all over your ass. "THEY CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH"
LMAO....you're not getting a dime of it!
In your eyes this will justify him fighting a lesser opponent...cuz he will make the same....stupid. He didnt care about being "ring" champ..until DELA AND SHANE said no.....EASIER fights and lots of money..thats Floyd for you..... and I say EASIER meaning easier then MARG. but def not easy Baldi might whoop that ass.. he's no slouch :boxing:

Cunningham says that PBF would have made $6M to fight Spinks, and accepted $5M to fight Baldomir. In boxing, you never know who is telling the truth - but I can't see PBF making more than $8M to fight Baldomir.
Ain't happening.
Doesn't matter now anyway, except as a measure against the often quoted $8M Margarito offer. I'd rather see PBF win a real 147 championship and build a legacy than fight Stinks.
