Margarito DOES have a point...

[TheSurgeonMDMPH]

My point has been proven.


Tony fighting Shane at this stage of Mosleys career doesn't do much or nothing for his resume because after the fight, "Shane was too old and past his prime, why doesn't he fight other guys in their prime".

If you don't believe me, check the words of the board from two weeks ago.


Would I still like to see it? Sure, I'm a boxing fan, but this fight has never really generated any interest from me at all. I'd rather see Tony vs prime welterweights just like I do for every other fighter in his prime.

that didnt appear be an issue when margie stated ssm was pissing his pants right? he talked all that **** then went into hiding. you cant spin that, i know you call ur self a psycho but damn!

Uh, you can check the posts, I've never once thought this was a good fight from the get go.

This is exactly why Mosley is one of my all time favorites. His willingness to **** with anyone, his style and most of all, he just seems like a sincerely awesome person. I'm not much in favor of this fight because imo, it doesn't really do much for the division as Mosley isn't prime anymore, but I applaud him for always giving us fans our monies worth.

if margarito sells out as many arenas as you all make it seem than why does he not get paid more than he does? why did it take his entire career to get a buzz if all these people go to see him fight?

so here is the thing

you talk about how if he is so popular then why isnt he making any coin

but lets spin it back to Shane

if Shane

1. cant outsell the same arena Margarito did
2. hasnt pulled a ppv over 425 without the name DLH being attached
3. and whose last fight in Vegas drew less than Margarito's fight with Gomez (let alone Cotto)

then why he is making SO much money when its obvious there isnt any value in it?

[letsgobrady]

point is margarito fans always talkin ****, like floyd is scared we offer him 8mil he's scared or why has cotto not sighned the contract yet he's scared why won't shane fight me he's scared, now margarito is doing the same **** but i don't hear the margo fans talkin **** about margarito

Shane is at 37 years of age, Mayweather is in his prime, and retired. Joe Calzaghe caught the most **** of any fighter I've seen in the last 10 years for beating a 39 year old Roy Jones.

Do you really think Tony is scared of little Shane Mosley?


"you'll get your shot"- Mayweather when confronted by Margarito. Then he retires before the Cotto fight.

there obviously is some value there if shane is such a big prodct for golden boy but of course you are the boxing organizations accounted so you know everything about all the money that comes in to boxing and who gets it.

shane is the bigger name more people know shane thats a good enough reason to fight but of course you like to bring it back to the money issue but complained when floyd or oscar make fight for the most money

why is it that margarito and his fans act like somebody owes him something, floyd didn't fight him so what he was not the biggest name for floyd to fight nor was he the most money and if margarito was to fight floyd it would just be a payday as floyd would just make margo look foolish .

everybody hates calzaghe so no matter what he does people will talk ****

Point me to any post where I have stated as much.

You won't find it though because I'm a boxing fan who rarely if ever gets involved in money discussions.

I care what happens in the ring, not the bank account.


It wouldn't matter to me if Tony made 10 trillion, the fight with Mosley is pretty insignificant considering the circumstances.

I actually think he should take the money and dont really see the point in holding out for more when fankly there isnt any. Trust me I get critical of the moves Margarito makes

um

I work for

MaxBoxing
BoxingScene
and Everlast

and sometimes for Margarito's manager

so yeah while I dont know everything like you alluded to I do know somethings about what goes on inside.

shane is the bigger name more people know shane thats a good enough reason to fight but of course you like to bring it back to the money issue but complained when floyd or oscar make fight for the most money

bigger name than who? Margarito? prove that to me.

and find where I complained about Mayweather getting paid. I never did in fact I understood his route to Oscar 100%.

stop acting like you know me because from this reply you obviously dont
