Just texted a friend of mine and asked him about the shane vs margarito fight. He as everyone else laughed off mosley's words of margarito is scared and hiding :rofl: Margarito has been in contact with Bob Arum and was at Top Ranks Office Yesterday :rofl: You clowns are idiots thinking because he doesnt' call boxingscene writers so he can open his mouth and look for attention that he's running scared. The mosley fight has been agreed to by margarito and as a matter of fact margarito feels mosley would be his easiest fight in a road to a re-match with cotto. One other thing holding it up is deciding whether to hold the fight in Vegas or Los Angeles and how the live gate would be split. Now shut the F up!
LMAO... pretty big words that wasnt true. You shouldnt believe everything your "friend" says... And i think you lost some credibility in here.
lol yeah this is pretty much trash now. Oh well. I guess things didn't work out. They sounded confident HBO was going to make a respectable offer. Hbo and GBP swing from each others nuts and hbo would have made a better offer if margarito was gbp fighter. HBO seems to always have dates available and finiances ready for a GBP but when top rank is involved their isn't enough money in the budget.
We all need to remember what Cotto did just before the Margarito fight. Cotto took a very long time to sign. He played tough negotiator and nobody knew if he was going to sign the fight or not. After a lot of concessions and more money offered, the fight got signed.
Maybe Bob just did not have the funding to offer Margarito more money.
Nobody knows what truly happened. Shit can change at the drop of the hat. Margarito could have just wanted more money. He sounded like he wanted to make Top Rank and DLH Promotions sweat for a week, then went in to negotiate for more money. When he failed to get more money, he backed out.
Rogelio may have given us what was very reliable information just a few hours earlier. Sometimes it can all change very quickly.
It was not a smart business move, but people do strange stuff for strange reasons. He does not strike me as being afraid of Mosley. Mosley is simply not what he used to be.
I think it may be more of the Diva Syndrome. He simply wants to 5 Million+ paydays that Cotto got and is playing the role of tough negotiator. I guess he does not realize that the economy is down the crapper, the fight with Mosley is not a superfight and 2 Million is a damn good payday.
So many fighters get this diva syndrome and it pisses me off. They get spoiled and end up wrecking their own career's. Winky are you listening?

looks like things changed since you heard from them
Ro if the fight happens in LA you gotta host....I know my way around Vegas with no problem....LA different story though.....cool? If it goes down in Vegas we gotta hook up meng!
man dog i been to vegas triple the amount of times i've been to los angeles lol but we can hook up for sure, actually we got a guest to show us around. Earner who is a poster here and also works for boxingscene and actually was part of Team Margarito for a while lives in la and he's already said he's up to watch the fight and go party after. I wouldn't mind it in vegas though, vegas is the shit!!!!!
Not to worry.....Manute...I mean PWill will get his chance...I guarantee it won't be the same outcome this time....Marg will stop this "freak of nature"....
no doubt the fight basically came down to the final round and you cant argue who won the 12th round. If margarito wins the 12th round the fight ends in an official draw.

Yea. I hope they fight again b4 Paul moves up in weight and stays there... Jumping around from upper to lower weight classes is not safe or healthy.
well after the cotto re-match if margarito wins there is no reason why they shouldnt fight. Can anything think of a reason they shouldnt? It would only be logical and make the most sense. But goosen has to understad williams isn't the money man, williams isn't the draw, goosen and williams need the fight more than margarito does, and they are not going to push arum around or try to dictate the terms of the fight. That's the last thing that's going to happen. PWill can end up like winky for all that arum cares.
Yea sure when you play one minute of Marg highlights hahahahaha!!!!
I had it 8-4, but I could see 7-5. I dont like when people say Paul domintated.... but he clearly won.

Mosley has always been one of my favorites. I still think he can make it the distance with Margarito, but not close to winning.
Mosley was wary about facing Tony a couple years ago. A couple years ago Mosley had more of a chance. His legs and reflexes have slowed more since then.
Margarito on the other hand, has showed no signs of slowing down. He is still one vicious and relentless crazy mofo in that ring.
Mosley will retire after facing Margarito. He should have taken the fight a couple years ago when it would have been competitive.
