    Mosley is a no-contender, having proved nothing over the last few years, barely defeating Mayorga in his last fight. Mosley was never a draw by himself either. The only thing he offers right now is his name, though some seems to believe that should be enough to be on the receiving end of an unfair purse.

    It's a total lack of respect for the true champion, and I expect Margarito, and every other champion, to play it smart and walk away from such a disgraceful offer.
    Agreed...............

        Margarito have no interest in fighting Mosley for 2 million dollars or a rematch with Williams for 4 million dollars. He's an overrated punchingbag with a chin. His biggest payday was 1.5 millions yet 2 and 4 million is too little? He's a freaking idiot

          Margarito is a clown. He thinks hes worth Mayweather money? You can't sell a fight worth a **** and your top pay day was under 2 million so how can you A)turn down a rematch to a fight you lost for 4 million and B) turn down a fight for 2 million which would still be more than you ever made. Mosley is the name in this fight anyways and thats how boxing works. The better fighter does not always make the most money. Margarito better look at himself in the mirror and realize what he is or else fade away in Tijuana. I'm gonna laugh when he fights like Luiz Collazo for about 1 million. Keep ducking the tough fights tornado.

            The offer was actually from HBO to both Top rank and Golden boy for a Margarito/Mosley fight, So why Mosley was happy with the cut he would receive from golden boy who promotes him margarito doesnt seem to be happy with his own cut that he would recieve from Top rank (Arum).

            Arum has said before that the HBO offer on the table is a great offer so am pretty sure rito and arum needs to iron the monies out.

              First, i need to say i love watching Margarito fight, but lemme get this straight:

              Marg's highest payday was 1.5 mil agaisnt Cotto.

              He then refused a 4 mil purse for a rematch agaisnt Williams. What was the excuse, money?

              Now he is refusing 2 mil to fight Mosley because it's not enough for him?

              I don't it, fighters fight, and if he claims to be the most feared man on the planet he better start fighting while he has his hype. This is the kind of money most fighters will never see, and opportunities like that won't be thrown at him forever.

                This is some bs. After beating Cotto, margo has turned down a fight with clottey, 4 mill to fight williams and now 2 mill for mosley.

                  Whats the big deal? Did you all forget Mayweather turned down a career high 8 million dollar payday to fight Margarito.

                  Anyways Margarito would have won this fight by a vicious knockout. I am glad it is not happening, it would just make Margarito look bad.

                    He got the linear champion to WW crown a Title and 8 million fighting Baldomir. That offer was made by Arum when Mayweather was suing him for unpaid money
