Floyd turned down $8million to fight margarito in 2006

[F l i c k e r]

Hahahaha

You don't believe that yourself.

If that's the case WHY DID THE GOMEZ PPV FIGHT BOMB SO DRASTICALLY??

That thing sold a whopping 3,000 buys..

LOL

Larger fanbase my ass.

Okay, how come Cotto only fights in MSG where the PR population is so high? Yeah, gtfo. Then when he fights outside of MSG, the crowd isn't even going for him.

Hatton cant sell **** outside of the UK because the rest of the world wasn't ****** enough to fall for his hype. Why do you think Mayweather took the fight to the UK? Cant sell **** outside of it.

Face it ******. Margarito is a bad match up for Floyd, hence he cannot win. So, Floyd turned it down.

Yeah, nobody wants a WBO strap...but they'll take good money!

Let's not forget Margarito was fighting on HBO back in 2002. And that HBO was pushing for Margarito-Mayorga, ****, Margarito versus anybody. Other welters just weren't interested.

And it's a little ridiculous to act like nobody had ever heard of him back then. That's BS. Maybe a lot of you guys weren't really following the sport then but, like I said, Margarito had fought on HBO several times before 2004 and umm, headlined an ESPN PPV where Shane Mosley was on...the undercard.

Tony could have easilly dumped his WBO title and became RANKED by the WBC.

That's what everybody else does...everybody that wants to be somebody that is.

Mr boat buyer didn't want it. He woulda won, but he didn't want it. Get over this **** already.

[Deja_Vous]

and who is Carlos Baldomir again?

"oh, but that was different"

He was the guy that beat Judah..who was red-hot at the time..fresh off a KO of Spinks.

Unified WW champion >>> WBO belt holder.

So what? That wasn't what was stopping the fights.

Hatton brings legions of fans with him donkey.

Tony was never worth more than Hatton.

Yes it was.

The WBO takes it's champs out of the WBC..IBF..and WBA rankings.

Tony could have placed himself in the mix simply by dumping the WBO.

[rob6465]

That most people never heard of.

But be honest, do you think "MOST" people heard of clottey or so many of the present good fighters?
I doubt it.

Tell me, what fight did that stop?

No need for the man here. This thread is self ethered.
