Too many facts can't just let us agree with you or the thread starter even if we had to stop this argument using sarcasm lol.Comment

Why are you mentioning Bruseles?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,

Floyd was an idiot who didn't see that the WBO belt was better than the WBC belt.Comment

I actually think sarcasm would put an end to all this Mayweather duck margarito for $8 MILLION BS, if we all agree then there would be No discussion or arguement or new threads about the same old BS every day.Comment

You don't even own exclusive rights to your girlfriend's ******* canal.Y'all motha****as got
just admit it.
That's why you have no counter argument and all thier counters are weak.
I've proved my point.. there is nothing else to prove.
The blind such as yourself will always believe what they want even when the truth is infront of their face cus y'all follow religiously with an obsession.
Peace out y'all.. it was fun proving y'all wrong!
Stay in school.. maybe one day you will learn how to make a sound argument!
Forget about owning anybody on this thread.
And I'd take the time to post a "counter argument" if this poster hadn't already laid it out in stone.
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.
Thread Murdered.
