It looks like Margarito has adopted the saying "If it makes dollars, it makes sense." This is from his interview on Fight News:
So if the WBO goes forward with the mandatory and they allow you time to heal, will you be willing to fight Paul Williams before getting in the ring with Miguel Cotto?
Like I have said before I am willing to fight any fighter. Paul Williams has talked a lot, even through the elbows. Those are first to go down, the ones that talk a lot are the one that fall the hardest. But who is Paul Williams? I don't know how he got to be the #1 mandatory. I don't know who he has beaten, who he has fought to get there, he hasn't fought anybody. But people talk a lot. That I am afraid to fight him. Right now we are trying to take advantage of the title. This is a sport and it is also a business. There has been a lot of talk of a fight with Miguel Cotto. That is the one they have offered for June. I have said that if they really want me to fight Paul Williams and like Paul Williams says that he can beat me and that I don't want to fight him, then put the money on the table. Obviously if they offer me more money to fight Cotto, I'm going to fight Cotto; I want to take advantage of my title. I would definitely fight Cotto or if they say that they are going to offer me more money to fight Paul Williams I would fight Paul Williams. Its not about fear. That's the least of my worries. I have faced better fighters than Paul Williams. I say it again, who is Paul Williams? He got to be the #1 mandatory but I don't know how. We are willing to fight him as long as the money is there.
Margarito is asking who is Paul Williams? Talk about irony...
