mayweather retired in 2002

[tredh]

Here's an article i found:

It appears that Wright is a bit annoyed that Top Rank offered Floyd Mayweather, Jr. $8 million dollars to face Margarito, and only offered him $4 million. Although Wright can earn between $5-6 million when considering the pay-per-view revenue, he still insists the the offer is too low and he can make the same amount of money by staging a fight in Florida.

"People can say I don't want the fight, and hell no I don't want the fight. If you're going to offer Floyd Mayweather $8 million and offer me $4 million, I don't want the fight. I can make $4 million fighting here in Tampa. Why should I take that fight? I don't need Margarito. He needs me. That's the difference, and that is what his people will have to learn. Offer me $8 million and I'll take the fight," said Wright

Bob Arum on the other hand, said the reason he made a much lower offer to Wright is because Wright would be a much bigger favorite to beat Margarito than Mayweather. Arum feels that if Wright does not take the fight, his name can be added to the list of fighters ducking the tough fighter from Mexico. Arum did not say who Margarito would face if Wright officially rejects the offer, but the list of pay-per-view opponents is growing thin.

"It's the biggest guarantee Winky has received. It's a hell of a deal. If he doesn't take it, he's just another fighter who has Margarito-phobia. If Margarito fights Floyd, it's probably 8-to-5 in Floyd's favor. If he fights Winky, it's probably 4-to-1 in Winky's favor. It would be viewed as much more of a one-sided fight, and that's the reason for the [lower] offer," Arum said.

Ok but nobody is calling Winky Wright a ducker in here. You have to see the bias? I can understand Arum not offering Winky the same money because isn't the same type of draw that PBF is but to say you not going to do it because of the odds in ******** on the fight thats some sucka **** if you ask me. Thats basically saying he doesn't truly believe his fighter can beat Winky but he believe he can beat PBF. Also with that statement doens't that make it seem like Arum is betting on his fighters at the sportsbooks? Not that it matters unless he making them take dives.

Jordan faced the best teams and players year after year regardless of how much money he made. Bad comparison!

Its not a bad comparision. Because it still all comes down to Jordan making smart business decisions to get that money. I see you didn't comment on Castillo's situation. All he probably did was always take the money that was offered fighting for legacy thinking it would pay off in the back end and look at what happened. He broke and he's shot. SHows what not making smart business decisions gets you respect, with not one of you so called legacy seeking fans offering him one red cent. ****ing Dummy. Do whats best for you **** all that other ****.

Your missing the point that i was trying to make. Jordan competed at the highest level of competition while making all that money. Good for him. Floyd is making good buisness decisions, but at the same time, he is not competing at the highest level of competition available. Does Floyd care if you retire broke? ok then, why should you care if he does? If Castillo pissed his money away then thats his fault.

I didn't miss your point at all. All I ever said was that it is ****ing foolish to say that you can't be great and make smart business decisions. That makes no ****ing sense to say some **** like. I don't give **** what PBF thinks about me but I'm not the one crying about him making all that money and not facing the so called best competition, you are.
Also some people feel Jordan played in one of the weakest eras of the NBA I am not one of them. I also am not old enough to have seen the eras before him to make a comparison. So you make of that what you will.

You responded to a post that I had made asking some other dude why he say something like that because it makes no sense. Check a few pages back you will see it.

Joartcc3 said that dumbass **** on page 10. Had to go back and check.

[Joartcc3]

You really believe the bolded statement? Or were you just a little hot under the collar and typing out of emotion?

Ahh, between your opinions and what Fake Floyd said, I hope you're NOT that ****** to know what stands.

And btw, like Fake Floyd you seem to conveniently duck the issue.

Here's the vid, watch it and we both know what stands between your opinions and Fake Floyd's own words.

if mayweather didnt duck fighters he would have losses also. a real fighter who backs down from no one will always have some losses. even sugar ray lost some fights and they say he is the greatest of all time.
