True, but since the fight wasn't PPV, Shane's "more known" status really wouldn't come into play for revenue purposes. Staging this fight in So. Cal. or Vegas would result in a large crowd that would most-likely be 80-20 in Margarito's favor. The purse split should reflect that (not 80-20 by any means, but you understand.)Comment

Quit living in the year 2000 please. Mosley is not a factor anymore at 37 he's just wanting to make one last paycheck. His fight against mayorga was un-impressive to say the least and by the tone of his voice after the fight he himself knows it's time to hang em up. If shane thinks he deserves more or half of the money for a margarito fight, then shane needs to get off the steriods because it's making his head big. Lets see shane:
You just had your fight with mayorga moved from one date to another because HBO knew you couldnt compete with a card on showtime. Not only that they changed the card from ppv to free hbo because they knew it wouldn't sell. They figured this fight wouldn't sell in vegas so the best hope is to put the old guy in front of his home crowd in Los Angeles and draws a reported crowd of 5,000 fans and people there said it was about 3,500 Including Earner who covered the fight for boxingscene, and maxboxing. So in your hometown Mr. big name shane against a very exciting fighter in mayorga you bring 3,500 people to watch the fight. Yes the same mayorga that is a household name that people like to see fight. The same mayorga that brought over 500k ppv buys in each fight against dlh and tito. And yes shane the same mayorga that vargas was able to get a ppv date with and sell 300k ppv's!! yet only 3,500 come to watch mayorga fight YOU free on HBO???
Lets rewind to over a year ago when the lesser known Margarito faces a still relatively unknown paul williams who at the time NO ONE BUT hard core BOXING FANS KNEW WHO HE WAS and still is not a good sell. AT THE SAME VENUE MARGARITO BRINGS A RECORD 8,000+ FANS!!! How do you explain that? Now since that fight he's fought at madison square garden, Atlantic city, and The MGM Grand Capturing Two world Championships in the process and Knocking out the undefeated welterweight champion of the world in a fight that many say saved boxing that can be argued as the fight of the year and does 400k plus ppv's in a struggling economy.
and mosley is the better draw? "peeleft:Comment

are you really that biased. The more you try to hype mosley up the more my original post shuts down you biased opinions. Did you not ready my first post? Please read it and the reality of it and then say mosley is a bigger draw than margarito. Why was shane vs mayorga free on hbo and Vargas vs Mayorga did 300k ppv buys? don't 'american fans' know shane more than vargas? Didn't shane ko vargas? why was vargas able to do 300k ppv buys at the staples center against mayorga and shane fought mayorga free in a much smaller venue that wasn't even close to selling out? Why did margarito bring a record crown against a no name williams when he fought in the same venue? please if your going to avoid the reality and facts of the situation and just post your biased opinions which can be easily shot down then just save your hate and the time and relax.Comment

Gates/PPVs has to do with Draw power. Also you posted in a thread discussing it. When you said you were from NY, I had to assume you're still hurt from the Cotto loss. Need a hug??Comment

i didn't say you said anything about calzaghe but you said that mosley was more known to the american fans which is the point, margarito's fans or people who know margarito are mexican the majority of the world knows shane.
when hatton fought floyd most of the seats were filled by hatton fans so is ricky hatton more famous or a bigger draw or even a bigger name than floyd?Comment

Still though, that fight was on PPV and Floyd's "known" status came more into play.Comment
