Sounds suspiciously like what Floyd fans said about Arums 8 million deal to fight Floyd. Interesting.
it is, well at least to me, which is why I understood why Floyd made his choice and to be honest why Tony made his.
the offer, from what I understand, was that the 4 million was to go to Bob NOT Tony and Bob was to pay his fighter out of that PLUS be the lead promoter. From that understanding, smart move on Goossen's part, I have to think Bob would have taken the lion's share of it and cite that he had to promote this fight.
Not at all. I actually like Tony and give him his props for that win, but he really needs to reedem himself against Williams. When Floyd was looking for money fights instead of career defining fights, many bashed him (including YOU and myself) for it. Funny how now u want Margarito to focus on big payday fights, rather than redeeming himself against the guy who made him look like a bobblehead doll. Yes Margarito came on late in that fight, but it was too little too late. For the first 6-7 rounds, Williams had your boy looking like a bobblehead doll.
What happened Shalafi? Did i strike a nerve with the "bobblehead" comment, or did my post make so much sense, that you have no reply for it? LOL.
Sounds like you are still bitter your boy got his shit pushed back in by Tony in July.

C'mon man, you got waaaay more sense than that, what makes you think Margarito is ducking Williams? he already fought that fool and made Williams sweat for that win. At this point of his career Tony deserves a nice big payday, that is why he's been weighting out his options, he is after all the #1 at 147. The $4Mill deal was bullshit, nobody knows the real details of that offer, Tony was not getting paid $4Mill, after Top Rank's cut and all other shit Tony would probably end up getting paid $1.5Mill or so. I agree a Williams-Margarito rematch NEEDS to happen, and soon, but don't say he's ducking Williams, that's total bullshit and you know it.
Its been reported that Margarito isnt fighting till next year right? So why not take the offer to fight Paul Williams THIS year, then do what he has to do next year?
Of course $4mil doesnt mean $4mil. Not for ANY fighter.
Margarito and his diehard fans should stop worrying about who's ducking Marg, and instead question why Marg refused to step in the ring to avenge his loss to Paul Williams for a career high $4mil payday! That's the real question.
My respects for Mosley...a great fighter...but he needs to retire and stay retired. I hope he's not fighting cuz he needs the money. I wouldn't think he does. He's made millions...probably spent a few too. We don't need another Tito. Mosley had made his legacy a top notch boxer. IMO this is what screws up boxing, boxers staying in too long. Mosley vs Margarito does not need to happen. I much rather see Margo vs Williams and/or Clottey before Cotto. Of course this won't happen cuz of Arum...he needs to milk both Cotto and Marg for all he can. That, gentleman, is the reality of boxing. Promoters only want the fights that the fans want when it lines their pockets first. :damnit:
Exactly...he's being honest...he's always been honest...always fought the best...always fought hard...gave rematches...took rematches when it seemed he still didn't have a stylistic shot...always humble...
he knows when it is almost time and when it will be "time"...
I know he doesn't see much incentive in fighting someone like Berto at this stage...risky fight and no money...
he is being honest, he didnt put up any excuses like ODLJ he just said his not getting any younger. And i rather hear it striaght up n not bush!t about why he wont fight him.
ducking margarito? thats just oversimplification.
margarito and cotto are back on a collision course- arums got a job to do and money to make- and it wont involve mosley, thats a certainty.
theres only 1 active fighter that would be complete hell for mosley- and its not margarito. mosley beats margarito with speed.
paul williams on the other hand...
I dont see what the fuss would be about, fighting shane at this point does near NOTHING for margarito, NOTHING.
Tuneup fight for the Cotto rematch, come on now.
I was thinking about doing an entire lineup of SNES themed boxing pics, from my own personal collection, and some other classic retro games as well. :lol1:
(I'm a huge retro fan. Especially SNES.)
You should do a PS of Riddick Bowe Boxing with Mayorga on the canvas.
What are you Bringer, busting out the SNES collection?
