Thats reality.
Its like me coming over to your house and getting more love from your family.
Tell em why you mad homie.
That just so happens to be the ******EST argument one can make. Because more Mexicans come to see Margarito live in CALIFORNIA makes him the bigger draw? Where can Margarito fill a stadium outside of California? Dont answer that.
I am pretty sure if Margarito fought Williams in Aiken SC, it would be filled to the brim with country ass black folks pulling for Williams.
At the end of the day, HBO aint concerned about how many people Margarito can pull into a stadium. They wanna know who is gonna put more asses in front of a TV set broadcasting HBO. And that is why SHANE is a contracted HBO fighter and NOT margarito.
Get it?

Thats just the way it works. Its not fair and I don't agree with it.
If it was up to me, seeing as how Paul won the first matchup, I'd say he deserved the majority of pay.
Thats why I rarely get into the money discussions because the **** never makes sense.
Since when did beating Cotto make Margarito a household name? Margarito can fill seats in California. Big deal. He should. He is from Califronia. That doesnt make him a television draw. Are you saying he is a bigger television draw than Williams? GET REAL.
I am willing to bet Sergio Diaz is looking at this message board because ALL of the excuses the Margarito team have made as of late have been made days before right here. And I am sure when Goosen comes out and says the offer WAS indeed made, they will say "Well we want a 70/30 split, because despite the fact Williams beat us, we beat Cotto. NA NA NA NA NA!!!!!

Stop making that argument like Margarito is the draw. He isnt even a contracted HBO fighter let alone the draw AGAINST a contracted HBO fighter.

Originally posted by BoxingScribe View PostYou have the most lame arguments. Margarito's last fight was on PPV against what CONTRACTED HBO fighter? HBO contracted fighters are what make PPVs. Cotto had a good opponent. Compare how many times Cotto has HEADLINED a PPV compared to Magrarito. Compare how many times Shane has been in the main event of a PPV compared to Margarito. See the difference?

It hurts sometimes I know, but its a reality we all have to learn to face sometimes.
Everything I've stated is fact.
Margarito headlined a card Mosley was on.
Margarito filled up an arena in Mosleys backyard that even Mosley couldn't get to be half full.
Its 2008, get with the times. Antonio Margarito is the bigger draw in this case.

now understand this. NOBODY is breaking down Top Ranks door to get to Margarito. Shane can get more money fighting elsewhere. Williams can get more money unifying 154, or moving up and fighting one of the middleweight champs. NOBODY is breaking down the door to fight Margarito because THERE IS NO MONEY THERE. What part of that dont you all understand? And the minute Margarito understands that, he will actually fight because his bank of account is gonna be depleted.

People break down Oscars doors not because they want to fight the best there is, but because it's gonna be a good payday. People wanna fight Hopkins not because of his legendary status, but because they will get a payday. **** people wanna fight Roy Jones still not because he is still Superman and they wanna test their skills against a great fighter, but because the payday is gonna be good.
