Dont compare Hopkins to what Margarito was doing. Hopkins refused to be bound to a slave contract with a promoter. So he was blackballed by said promoters although he was the champion. Margarito is acting like a diva. What Hopkins did landed him a fight and a partnership with with the Golden goose. Margarito's action wont even get him a paid sparring parnter assignment.

Margarito was already Dela Hoyas sparring partner and thats why Dela is chasing glory by fighting little Filipinos instead of Margarito.Dont compare Hopkins to what Margarito was doing.

Margarito is still gonna be left out in the cold. He has a promoter who doesnt believe in him or his marketability and he is making dumb business decisions. At least Floyd waited till he made millions from Golden Boy before he spit in their faces.Comment

I was mentioning Hopkins/Jones because they couldnt agree on the split and eventually Hopkins made great money anyways..
Cotto will bring in more then 2 million.
Why give in to a split that you dont think that is fair ? When you are the champ? and in this case the draw too...?Comment

Margarito was a champion before and wasnt commanding the majority of his purses. I mean come on dude, there are 4 champions. Neither one of em are the linear champs. So lets not place so much emphasis on Margarito beating CottoI was mentioning Hopkins/Jones because they couldnt agree on the split and eventually Hopkins made great money anyways..

Would please stop bringing up Hopkins...Different time, different story.I was mentioning Hopkins/Jones because they couldnt agree on the split and eventually Hopkins made great money anyways..
Cotto will bring in more then 2 million.

So he is going to wait until the Cotto rematch to even fight? Is that what you're trying to say? I've asked plenty of times...If he turned down this fight and he wants more money (according to some Marogito fans) Who is going to give him that payday he so-called desires? We know Arum doesnt want to do business with Goosen...Oscar isnt going to fight him...So were is the payday going to come from? Cotto?Comment

wow, you are such a boxing guru. You probably never boxed a round in your life. Anyway, granted as Andre Ward (my favorite boxer) said, boxing is a business and the goal to him is to make the most money possible and fight the highest prizes, just b/c Margarito HAS the belt, how does it make him worthy of picking and choosing. Calzaghe has proven himself again and again, which is why he is sought after for money fights constantly now... Glen Johnson, Hopkins, Chad Dawson, and Jermaine Taylor are gunning for not just his title or the money, but his legacy. Soooo... if I am wrong, I believe a fighter's legacy, pride, and fan base are just as important if not more so then the money in a given fight. With that said, unless the fighter is a total business man, he should take a fight agst mosley. I think you are just one of those fans who are cushioning Marg's fall. Great fighter or not, he lost a potential fan here b/c of his business decision this past week. And disappearing too, does jones and hopkins hide from their promoters and fans? The tornado is just blown up air.Comment
