Margarito wants 75%

[Derranged]

In your mouth!

U cannot argue with a troll. Its doesnt work.

According to a Mexican newspaper Margarito wants $3 millions which it would be 75-25. What do you guys think?




"The HBO offer was very good, but my fighter wants 3 millions to fight Mosley."

75%??????????

come on...

I know he wants his big payday but this is insane.

There is no way he should be making 75%...granted at this stage mosley is pretty much fighting on his name (he still has talent/skill) but he's out of his prime...i think the best margarito can get from mosley is a 65%-35%...and thats probably only if mosley is allowed to choose the venue, ring size, etc.

75% is way too much to ask out of someone like a shane mosley...

if this were a gary lockett then he could get 75% since someone like a gary lockett would need margarito more than margarito needs him...

mosley doesnt need margarito...mosley's legacy is secure as far as im concerned...

margarito needs to be going after a williams and/or cotto rematch in my opinion...

Margarito rechazó esa bolsa debido a que HBO le pensaba pagar igual cantidad a Mosley, entendiendo el campeón de las 147 libras, título que le arrebató a Cotto, que se merece ganar más.

"Parece que no hay más dinero y Margarito decidió no pelear por esa cantidad. Ellos tienen cuatro millones para dividirlos entre los dos, pero pensábamos que podría haber sido 3 y 1, o bien 2.5 y 1.5 millones. Ahora habría que esperar por la pelea con Cotto, o hacer algo por ahí pero se podría pelear con Cotto antes de junio y sería por pay per view, que es donde está el dinero", expresó desde California.

Whoever wrote the misleading thread title must be a butt hurt Cotto fan who's still bitter about his loss. The actual article goes on to state that he'd like margarito to receive 3 mill or 2.5 to mosley's 1.5 which is a much more reasonable and realistic split than Mosley's 50/50 offer.

"Y podríamos negociar que el ganador pelee con Óscar de la Hoya, porque por ahí no queda otro más grande para pelear. A Mosley no lo cuento porque perdió con Cotto. Nosotros ni ocupamos a Mosley. La oferta de HBO era bastante buena, pero mi peleador quiere tres millones para pelear con Mosley. Vamos a ver si hablamos y hacemos la de Cotto", subrayó.

well if you read here it say that they want to negotiate for the winner to fight Oscar De La Hoya. they say there is noone that has a bigger name. we don't count mosley because he lost to cotto. HBO offers was good but my fighter want 3 millions to fight mosley.

so what is misleading about it??
he said he wants 3 millions

It's misleading because the majority of people here dont speak spanish and you're only mentioning Margaritos ideal scenario as if he refused to budge from that number when he clearly states he's willing to negotiate and would take a lower offer.

Who cares. He's a moron who is awaiting a fight that may not happen in Cotto. Alot of scenarios can happen in the meantime of them setting up a rematch. I honestly don't care anyway, the guy is talented but is acting like a moron. Fight the fights that can be made and stop acting like a hypocrit.

[crillz]

nah I think that's bull****. I understand as a fighter you want to make the most of your money but don't sell your soul for it, remain strong minded and don't let the money affect the job, Mosley is THE fight for Tony besides Cotto and they both have already established that Cotto-Margarito II will happen next June leaving MORE THAN ENOUGH time for Margarito to face the only other threat to him besides Joshua Clottey whom wont present as much of a financial benefit yet twice the risk. Tony is being ****** here, he should take 2,250,000 and let Shane get 1,750,000. that's fair, he's champion but Shane is a house hold name, Margarito beat Cotto and Cintron but who else? I'm talking about relevant Welterweight fighters, who Clottey? we all saw what happened there. regardless Margarito's head is blowing up, he needs to take this fight and add Shane's name to his record, he can use this fight to sky rocket himself if he can KO Shane, Shane got a rep for being tough so if he could've done it he would get ultimate respect. they should just be men and come to an agreement

too bad marg can't make a deal w/ GBP like: fight SSM for 50/50, but guaranteed a fight w/ oscar in late 2009.

[FloydsEra]

Margarito ain't a *****. He's just greedy, like Oscar, Pac, and many other fighters that will go nameless.
