Margarito can't get a fight?

[Pullcounter]

WTF?Everyone wants to see Pacman fight Mayweather now? Why? DeLaHoya is a has been. Mayweather needs to grow some balls and fight Margarito. Not a ****ing straw weight. Gayweather will probably jump at the opportunity for another fraud fight......

lol... when's money marg gonna rematch pwill?

Mayweather is a self proclaimed "mega star", why would he need a name fighter to carry a PPV?

DLH did it for years, why can't Floyd?

Floyd is marketable against the "good guy." By good I mean the nice, likable guys like Oscar or Ricky. Then you got a big fight. Pacman is likable. The "good guy" doesn't need a "bad guy" to sell a fight. But the "bad guy" needs the "good guy" to make the fight huge. Floyd talking trash against likable, well known guys who have established themselves sells. If Floyd says he'll kick the crap out of lesser known guys to the casual fan like Williams or Margarito, they'll think ok, why should I pay for that.

So, basically, Floyd isn't a big enough name to carry a PPV on his own accord and get 500,000 buys.


Gotcha.

But its not something we didn't already know.

If Cotto beats Margarito then Floyd should fight him. I can't blame Floyd for not wanting Margarito and Williams. They are huge welterweights. Neither of them are marketable compared to Pac, Hatton, or even Cotto. Williams is unknown outside of boxing and Margarito doesn't speak english, so he won't even get a 24/7 out of it.

that is the DUMBEST remark i've ever seen are you seriously gonna tell me that Marg is not famous do you know how many followers he has seriously EVERYBODY knows antonio margarito STFU.

Of course. He is one of the most talked about guys on this sight. He is huge in Mexico. But his I've not heard his name on ESPN or anywhere other than HBO, ever!

[Rompeboca]

If Mayweather fights Pacquiao before fighting Cotto, Margarito or Williams he is the ATG ***** in boxing.

Don't need to wait for that, Gayweather already is The ATG *****!

Both did about 350,000. Not so great for the mega-star Floyd is. Oscar's been in 14 fights that did that or better, not counting his fight with Floyd.
