Let's not talk about Tarver. He and Jones had career ending losses within 2 weeks of each other. Chad Dawson whooped Tarver, was present at the Calzaghe jones fight, and called him out there. Chad Dawson > Tarver and he says he wants Calzaghe. Besides Calzaghe, Hopkins and Dawson are the only pple that matter in the light heavy weight division now. Well maybe GLen Johnson, I have to brush up on my Glen Johson, I have not kept up with his career (tho I know he's like 39 now). Also, besides all the money (is this a freaki'n accountant's forum or a BOXING forum?), arent most fighters concerned with their LEGACY, and not only their payday? Are pple more concerned historically with Haglers 2 or 3 losses or the wars that he has gone into, or do pple remember Ali's last 2-3 losses or the fact that he Bome Ye'ed Foreman and Frazier? All this money talk and ego cushioning is why Jones never rematched Hopkins, why Trinidad never rematched De La Hoya in their prime and why several potential match-ups never came to fruitition (will we ever see a Cotto-Mayweather fight? Money's not the problem, ego is ). See ya!

I know I dont want to spend my $50.00 on a no name PPV...I want to see Margorito fight somebody....Hell, just fight one before the Cotto rematch (assuming everthing goes as planned) Thats all I'm asking for.Comment

re-read my post. I said that COTTO WILL BRING IN MORE THEN 2 MILLION....Would please stop bringing up Hopkins...Different time, different story.
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?

Ray Ray you too have been lost in all this bs. It's not wanting more from somebody else. he doesn't feel shane deserves 50-50. take a look at shanes recent performances and attendance numbers. he doesn't even have a belt. Does he deserve 50-50? he just fought in la in a boring fight in his hometown that drew 3,500 fans. margarito brough record numbers to the same venue vs an unknown paul williams. it's not about wanting more money else where, it's about not letting GBP push you around.I've noticed...I'm not here to bash Margorito by any means but as some people have stated in this thread..Margorito is entitled to big payday...I'm all for Margorito getting a well desevered payday...but since he isnt fight Mosley for the 2 mil. Who is going to give him that other than a Cotto rematch...Its a legit question that has yet to be answered.Comment

Thats something I can agree on...Stand firm on what you want...but my only problem is that when is he going to fight someone...He cant keep living off of Cotto's name...As a boxing fan...I just want to see the the guys at 147 get it on...thats my only beef here...I'm pretty sure its a lot of people feel the same way I do...Hell, I feel robbed!

Wow, I must be mistaken. This is not a boxing forum, it's an accountant forum and a "Margarito deserves respect, money, 60/40" forum. I'm gonna spend some time discussing boxing with real fans, not Margarito's p*nga huggers. Some of you made some sense, others swear their f'n Larry Merchant. Pc.Comment
