You heard it here third, Team Margarito not off base

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Francisco Espinosa may not be getting next year's Manager of the Year award, but then again, he just might. Espinosa, who handles Antonio Margarito, has his charge fighting #1 WBO contender Paul Williams instead of Miguel Angel Cotto in his next fight - at least the way it stands now. Reportedly Bob Arum, who has both Margarito and Cotto under a promotional agreement, offered Margarito $1.2 million and later upped that to $1.8 million, but Margarito chose to fight Williams and not be stripped of his WBO welterweight crown rather than dump the belt and fight for the WBA championship on June 9 against Cotto.

actually i take it back what i said about margarito vs williams, williams would be in deep trouble after seing a few of margaritos' fight closely him or cotto,
williams is no threat for margarito

Arum has no base for a lawsuit. It's his own fault that he didn't bid for the fight, even if Margarito himself told him he wasn't interested in fighting Williams. Circumstances change and Arum should know this better than anyone else, except for maybe Don King.

Margarito is doing what's best for him and his career and I cannot blame him one bit for opting to fight Williams before Cotto.

Margarito is shaking in his shorts right now. You can tell he is scared ****less of Williams.

Hows that? Williams never did anything for Margarito to be shaking in his pants.

Additionally, I don't know that Arum could have guaranteed Margarito ANYTHING at this point, because Cotto still has to fight Oktay Urkal in his own mandatory defense next month. And Espinosa correctly points out that if Urkal should happen to win, Margarito can find himself out of both a title and a title fight, and I doubt anyone would be passing the hat for him.

That is very true.

Keep an eye on this website. I will be holding a press conference tomorrow to announce that I am NOT the father of Anna Nicole Smith's child.

LOL!

I was being sarcastic....You know to all the 12 year olds saying Margarito is scared of Williams.

I always said that if were up to Margarito he would fight Williams without a second thought.

No way out? LOL. It's Williams who needs to start worrying.
