Why did marg turn down mosley?

[Guest]

Except that's the thing, he won't be likely making that much more then 2 million and it's not like Mosley was that dangerous. Not to mention he passed on 4.

Show me the contract and stipulations. Things aren't what they appear in the press.

I bet a Cotto rematch get him more than PWill and Mosley.

Bank on that.

I think the PWill deal got *****ed because the promoters can't stand each other.

Cotto is the money man in this equation and the money doesn't have to be shared like it would with PWill or Mosley.

I personally would want to see him fight all, I am down with any fight because I am a fan, but not a boxing businessman which all these guys are.

I know that, but even with that, it's not guaranteed that he's going to be making more then 4 million with a cotto rematch. And why not take a Shane fight for 2 million? Even if you don't like a 50/50 spilt, that's still more you are going to make then a 90% $800,000 purse. It's ****** and it also makes Margarito a hypocrite by the way...

I know it was not what it seemed, but Paul Williams and Goosen were willing, according to them, were offering 4 million upstraight. Arum didn't even seem to bother with the offer.

Arum felt they got screwed last time, right or wrong. There was very bad blood between Goosen and Arum.
Believe me, I am down for that fight and would love for it to happen. PWill-Margs 2 is on my wish list definitely.

Cotto-Margs did good business, I think they are banking on that.

Do you know the real offer for Mosley?

Honestly, Cotto-Margs 2 makes big bucks. When Mosley fought Mayorga, as great as we thought it was, did it do great business?
Not really.

Of course Margarito is a hypocrite. Everyone over the age of 12 is a hypocrite.

[Sin City]

Because Mosley is the most feared man on the planet!!

Did they even bother to promote Mayorga-Mosley? Not really, so hence why it did bad. With Cotto-Shane, they racked up around 350k. Shane's done some pretty good numbers in the past and he would help to the drawing power. He's entitled to 50-50, but even if he wasn't there was no reason for Margarito to hold up things for 2 weeks and then say no. It's ******.

Arum is also ****** for letting things past just because they had "bad blood"

All true, but that's on Arum and Margs management too.

If you threw two of them together, and gave them each 1 mil cash to walk home with with no bs, they would do it.

I don't have to like any of it, but business interests hold this **** up.

I would have loved to see Margs-Mosley cuz it woulda been on free cable.

Let's hope it's for a bigger fight. Cotto rematch or PWill.


Shane used to be great, he's not anymore.

so you think it was a smart move by tony?
