If Margarito is a "BUM"...

[Dynamite Kid]

-Why is he participating in the most anticipated fight of the year?

- Why is Cotto getting his highest payday to fight him?

- Since when do "BUMS" headline in Vegas?

- Since when do 'BUMS" headline PPV's?

- Since when do bums get paid 3 million dollars to fight?

- Why has he been ranked in the top ten WW longer then anyother current WW?

...... these are the current "WHY's"....

we all know what the others were....8 million $$, WBO WW, hadnt lost at WW in 10 years..etc, etc..

Hatton has been called a bum thousands of times on this forum yet he has headlined in Vegas against the best fighter in the world he is also a 2 weight World Champion & is/was rated as the linear champions at 140lbs why should Margarito be any different the guy got beaten by Paul Williams and has lost 3/4 times

You're missing the point again. I'm not bringing money into this at all, you did. So drop it.

Compare populations: 362,000,000 in US and UK vs 113,000,000 Mexio and PR.

There is a much, much larger base of people who if goaded into it will buy the PPV. I have not and will not say that the rivalry of UK and US is more heated or passionate than Mexico and PR.... but it's simply #'s.

how much people you have in a country has nothing to do with how much ppv buys you will get. if that was the case shouldn't we have a fighter from china shattering ppv records since there is "a much lager base of people who if goaded into it will buy the ppv. Shouldnt they do press tours all over asia??? How much people you have has nothing to do with anything. People wanted to see rivalries, people want to see blood, toe to toe action. that's what sells.

your also full of **** because mexico has a great tradition in boxing. much more than the uk has. There is alot of interest in mexico and their fighters. have you heard of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr? A guy that hasnt done much but has a great following and sells out every event in mexico? You're not proving much. Because uk has more money that means people follow more? People love to see mexicans fight i dont know if you can say the same about uk fighters.

I like how I'm full of ****, yet you're not actually contradicting anything that I'm saying. You're merely yelling bull **** at me, some true and some untrue, and expect me to give a ****. I never brought money up, you did and continue to do so.

Also, while I haven't thought about which country has a bigger tradition, to suggest that Mexico has "much more than the uk as" is pure insanity. There is a very, very long interest in boxing throughout history in Britain. You've got blinders on to the rest of the world and your ignorance is almost overwhelming.

Further, by your logic the biggest teams in the NBA are the Rockets and Bucks because the Chinese have such a huge interest in them.

also explain the reasoning for marquez vs pacuiao having great numbers because both countries are poor and their populations are very very low.

no by your logic those two teams should be shattering tv ratings since they have chinese players. Since china has all these people there is more people that will be sold on watching them play

how much people you have in a country has nothing to do with how much ppv buys you will get.

When it is turned into and marketed as country vs country... yes it is. That is why the Olympics is still televised and has a huge interest in many countries.

if that was the case shouldn't we have a fighter from china shattering ppv records since there is "a much lager base of people who if goaded into it will buy the ppv.

An eventually that might one day to come to fruition, so just remember it.

The average person needs a reason to care, as there are hundreds of outlets for entertainment to choose from. A rooting interest sells more than blood or action ever will, or else a lot of Mayweather fights wouldn't do so well.

oh man i give up. You're blind and avoiding facts. Some of the best fights and most watched boxing fights had to do with fighters from poor countries yet that didnt affect the ppv buys. I'm done proving you wrong. If you can't look at the facts you're not worth arguing with. Have a good day

After the fight Jotto will be "bumming" for a flight back home....he is going to get exposed and hurt.........Margarito is going to slap Jotto around like he owes him ho money....Jotto knows this that is why he demanded alot more in this contract than any other because...the end comes....
