Margarito turns down Mosley - GOOD!

[Silencers]

Must be tough for Margarito to get any respect. He's thinking "finally" "Mosley has agreed to fight me" even though Mosley's done nothing at welterweight and now Mosley feels he deserves a 50/50 split, lmfao!

You guys act like Margarito is getting the whole 2 mil which isn't the case.

I can remember Mosley turing down 10 mil if not more for a 3rd Delahoya fight. Mosley wanted more money and a 3rd fight never came to be. Talk about turing down a lot of money..

Didn't he turn down the third DLH fight to fight Winky?

No, he turned down the money cause he(Mosley) felt that he beat Delahoya twice and should be makeing the same amount of money Delahoya is making for a 3rd fight. Mosley wanted a 50/50 split, Delahoya said no. So after turning down the 10 mil. He goes and fights Winky and loses. The winky fight was just another option.

That really doesn't make sense.

Mosley lost 2/3 of the junior middleweight title and millions after refusing Oscar De La Hoya's offer of $12 million for the rubber match. He reportedly earned just $5 million for BOTH Wright fights.

That really doesn't make sense.

So you're saying because Mosley refused to accept 12 million, and instead fought for 5 mil in two Winky fights, he(mosley) didn't turn down the 12 million and i'am wrong? If thats the case then you most not have been keeping up with boxing back then. Or even when Delahoya offered just as much or more for a rematch against Trinidad but Trinidad as Mosley wanted an even split.

I'm saying it doesn't make sense that he would turn it down because of the split, then going to Wright for $5 for both fights, I'm not saying you're wrong, can't remember everything from back then, I just remember him turning it down because he thought Wright deserved a shot at his title and that the business with DLH was finished. I know he turned down a rematch offer with DLH for the split but that was before the second fight.

Mosley had passed up perhaps $12 million to fight De La Hoya again in exchange for maybe $3.1 million to show the world he was the best 154-pound fighter. He showed instead that Wright deserved the title, and he blew a $10 million payday against Trinidad. ''This is what the boxing world needs: guys who want to see who's best,'' Mosley said.

Well i remember it was because he wanted a 50/50 split. And your quote says he turned down 12.5 against Delahoya, and yets he wants to offer Margarito peanuts. Its clear to me and a few others that Mosley was never serious of fighting Margarito. Mosley was going to get ko'd anyways so his fans should be happy.

So are you saying that even though Shane and Jin are trying to LOW BALL Tony, he should still take the fight cuz he might fights someone else for less money and lose?

Margarito should wait the Cotto rematch is a certain great payday. So yes, Margs should wait.

As for the Mosley thing. I meant that Mosley was being a prick when 12.5 is much more then he's ever made and its far from 1 or 2 or even 4 mil dollars that 12.5 gurrentee. Mosley should have fought Delahoya because regardless that its not a 50/50 split, its a lot of money.

And the money they are offereing Margarito isn't even comparable to what Dealhoya offered Mosley for a 3rd fight.
