So lemme get this straight.. Floyd didn't fight Margarito cus he a bum right?

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Floyd fighting a shot to pieces Sharmba, a Zab after a loss and a guy in Carlos who was arguably the worst champ at 147, and HAtton. These are Floyd's fight at welter and the guy is the best in the world, are u people insane!?!

That means that Cotto fought Zab after TWO losses and a suspension.

What's your point?

[Sin City]

FLOYD TURNED DOWN A "BUM" WHO BROUGHT MORE TO THE TABLE ,INCLUDING A BELT AND 8 MILLION DOLLARS, THEN OTHER BUMS SUCH AS SOSA, BRUSELES AND MITCHELL...


that's all there is to it. Turned down a career high payday and a belt because he was a nobody.. operantly Floyd will ONLY fight nobodies that bring NOTHING to the table but when they bring MONEY and a BELT.. he wont.

That's all there is to it.

you're some kind of a girl, aren't you? You don't like the way the argument is going and you want to take the bet off. **** off!

In my case, I prefer the fight to be made and a date locked down, then I will gladly bet.

Hey boof remember when you whipped on t-dub back in the day. holy ****.

Translation: Damn, Dios. You recalled the events exactly as they happened.

Forget the events, money talks bull**** runs marathons.

Here is the story....

After the Judah fight, Mayweather paid $750K to buy himself out of the Top rank contract. It must be noted at this time that Arum had Mayweather, Cotto and margarito under contract at the same time, but made zero attempt to get any of the two of them into a ring together.

Anyway, after FMJ left Arum, Bob offered Floyd $8 mil to fight Margarito. Floyd essentially laughed at it, because he had just cemented his star status and didn't want to:
a) do business with Bob Arum and/or Top Rank
b) be under contract or give options to any promoter.

Mayweather and Ellerbe said that they had their own fanbase, and that the $8 million would be coming from their own pockets. Quote: how can someone who hasn't even fought for ONE million offer me EIGHT million?

Earlier that year, margarito had fought ******* Gomez in a half-empty room at the Aladdin. PPV sales? 30K PPV buys. No, I am not missing a zero. Thirty thousand.

So, Mayweather waited for the results of Baldomir/Gatti, but more importantly the results of Shane/Vargas (II). The huge buzz was that there was going to be a Floyd/Shane fight. Team Mayweather had an offer out to Shane for a fight in the fall. HBO had reserved the Nov 4th date for Floyd's PPV (presumably, vs. Shane).

Larry Merchant asked (a victorious) Shane if he would take the mayweather offer. Shane said "um, vacation...my tooth". Floyd was shocked. Team mayweather looked around and weighed their options. Baldomir had beaten Judah and gatti back-to-back. People were saying that Baldomir would be the biggest and strongest fighter than Floyd would face. Especially with a Delahoya payday in the balance. Thus, the name "Pretty Risky".

Consequently, Floyd hired Goossen as a freelance (one-off) promoter to work the Baldomir fight. Floyd agreed to a base of $8,000,001 plus a cut of PPV buys. Floyd made a total of eleven million for that fight. Most imporatantly to Team mayweather, they were controlling their own destiny.

The next fights? Thirty mil vs Oscar and twenty mil vs Hatton.

THOSE ARE THE FACTS.

Exactly lol...........

[Flawless]

Mayweather got 35 mill for fighting Oscar at a higher weight class and plus a title. What was the deal for a Maragrito fight.?

[Boofdatruth]

you're some kind of a girl, aren't you? You don't like the way the argument is going and you want to take the bet off. **** off!

You haven't even made any points in this thread. My boy wreck said the fight still hasn't been made, and I remember telling you to wait until the fight is made.

Are you admitting that Margarito is a bum now?

[Sin City]

Exactly lol...........

Did Maragrito bring more to the table then Mitchell, Sosa and Bruseles.. yes or no?

Would you rather fight a bum that brings a belt and money or one that doesn't bring anything?

Did Mayweather fight Mitchell, Sosa and Bruseles?

Did he fight Margarito?



that's all there is too it.
Y'all trying to detract from the argument by posting a bunch of nonsense..
those are the only 4 question that matter.

again,
/end thread.
