    Wright Needs "way More Than $4m" For Margarito

    www.boxing talk.com/pag/article8806.html

    Winky Wright has turned down a $4M offer, a career high payday, to fight Antonio Margarito on HBO PPV on October 7. Despite only making $3.2M for his draw with Jermain Taylor, Wright believes he will net the same kind of money if he decided to fight in Florida.

    plain and basic common sense facts.

    Wasn't this after they offered Floyd 8mil and Winky felt disrespected that they would offer him half as much money?

      Hey Winky, you're 1-1-1 in your last 3 fights. In your last fight you lost to a 42 year old. You don't have a title, you're 36 years old, and I'm almost positive you can beat Margarito. Please take the fight.

        a career high payday is not enough for him to overcome his fear of margarito.

            4 Million for fighting a Welterweight.

            WTF is Winky thinking?

                Sometimes I think these guys overvalue their worth. Granted, they are putting a lot on the line with each fight but turning down $4 million, wow,especially at 36.
