Why do people mock Margarito for turning down 2 million when Mayweather turned down 8

[Mr. Fantastic]

Are My FELLOW MEXICANS pullin out the Race Card???


C'mon Hermanos..Leave that **** to the crispy folk!

I bet you alot of Margarito's hate has to do with him being Mexican and his style. I argue with my buddies about this all the time.

I agree with this, just like no one says **** about Hopkins making a name out of fighting smaller guys, but then they turn on DLH.

Where have you been? Hopkins gets (got) criticzed on here all the time. Especially before Calzaghe Hopkins.

Can someone answer this for me

yea, floyd turned down 8 and got more than 8 and fought a linear champion.
marg is turning down his BIGGEST PAYDAY and will not get more anywhere else.
If you think these two situations are comparable you have alot to learn.

I read the forums here for a while before I decided to start posting and all I saw pre Hopkins/Cal was on how Hop was going to expose him and how great BHop is. Hardly read anything negative about him, other than his age.

Who was he at the time this fight was being made?

This was pre dlh and hatton. I think even pre baldomir

The pound for pound number 1 fighter in the world with 9 world champions under his belt and 4 division champion....
this thread is turning into self abuse.

You didn't read anything then because before Hopkins beat Pavlik that's all there was. He still gets criticized too. Just not as much.

Makes him look like a hypocrite....I think he could easily beat Mosley, but too much risk and too little reward, maybe hes scared of speed

Floyd's a flashy undefeated p4p fighter that's why. That sells on paper.

Is that so?? I don't remember anything of such. I'm going from what I saw. Can you point me to these threads?? It would be interesting to read them.

No...

It's the fact that his style is not appealing..He's a warrior with limited skill..My own dad A HUGE boxing fan who watched guys like Ruben Olivares, Salvador Sanchez, Pipino Cuevas, etc. fight LIVE...says Margarito is not talented..he can last and take a hit..and that's how he would beat most contenders whom stand a chance..

IMO he's not flashy enough for Americans to like him..he's ugly as ****..it seems like you almost gotta be a model to make it also..hence why DLH and Pretty boy Floyd are huge draws!..

Mike Tyson was known to be unleashed and DESTROY guys 5,6 inches taller than him!!..

Margarito smashes guys who he just looks bigger than..and looks down on..

I don't say it's about height..but to the public eye it looks uneven..and a mismatch..

Cotto was a technical boxer who got drawn in to toe to toe battles and was vulnerable to getting hit..that's what makes him exciting..but that's not what the people want..

Feel me?
