Who was Margarito in 2006?

He was a guy who dared to be different, he was so brave that he wore loaded wraps with plaster in them, even during sparring

A complete tool and I am glad Floyd ducked this mother hubbard. Margarina should be in jail or should never be allowed to spar or box professionally again, EVER!
Wearing loaded plaster wraps to sparring, where does some one get off? Just so he could be called the most feared man in boxing? They took away his plaster and was unable to leave a mark on his opponents.

Shame on that chump!

Who was Margarito in 2006?

Wasn't he the WBO champ and considered most avoided fighter at the time. Anyone know?

Who and the hell was Margarito in 2006? No one knew who that guy was so If you're Floyd Mayweather and you have a possible fight with: Carlos Baldomir the lineal champ at 147, Oscar Dela Hoya, Shane Mosley, or I even believe Cory Spinks was an option then... Antonio Margarito a guy you've never heard of is the absolute last choice, and I've heard Floyd was offered 12mil, 10miil, now you're saying 8mil... I think those figures are exagerrated and made up

Margarito was still a bigger draw in 06 than Blady, Spinks, or Judah.

Mayweather ducked him. Why? Incredibly bad match up. Margarito's style and physical advantages completed PWN anything Floyd brings to the table. Thus he rejected the offer.

Mayweather rejected an offer of US$8 million to fight Antonio Margarito and split with promoter Bob Arum

Mayweather earned $8 million for the fight, while Baldomir was paid $1.6 million. Both were career highs in earnings for each fighter at the time.

Mayweather says money was the issue for not fighting margarito....it was?

Arum wanted Floyd to fight Hatton and Cotto for 7 million a piece..Floyd want 10 each..and rightfully so.

Since when is Tony worth 8 mil and Hatton 7..??????????????????

Marge was NEVER a bigger draw than Hatton...or Cotto.

Arum just didn't want to make it happen.
