I believe 1.5 million with Cotto......
And I'm laughing my ass off at the thread starter trying to spin this bull**** in a positive manner for Margarito.

I know he hasn't had that many but a fight with Mosley could produce more than two mil for him. I guarantee you that Mosley was gonna get the bigger cut, after he lost to Cotto, who Margarito TKO'd.

So that makes the $2 million offer a low ball offer.

What the HELL, 2 mil? Mosley didn't want none of the Tijuana Tornado!

Why the hell is GBP trying to low ball the #1 Welter in the world?!?!?!

He said he was unhappy with the money being offered, not with the way the money was getting split. If his career high payday is $1.5, $2 million is nothing to complain about, especially after he turned down $4 million to fight Williams. He's not going to get these kinds of paydays anywhere else apart from a rematch with Cotto.

Mosley took Wright and Forrest on HBO for comparable money; Marg not taking this fight = not man equal to Shane.

MARGARITO - WILLIAMS THIS January NO EXCUSES

Shane made 1.5 mil for fighting Mayorga. He'll make at least twice as much fighting Margarito, yet they (GBP) only want to pay Tony 2 mil? After he stopped the man who beat Mosley in one of the years biggest fights.

Margarito will take the Cotto rematch on PPV for a few mil more than Golden Boy was trying to pay him.

Margarito turns down Mosley - GOOD!
