Floyd turned down $8million to fight margarito in 2006

[RoyJonesJrp4pno1]

And?? That doesn't make it a legit fight.

Look man, if it were one of my favorite boxers pulling the **** Mayweather is doing....I wouldn't even be a fan.

Sure it makes it a legit fight.

[Mr. Chago]

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?

yaaaaawnn....same BS

[Mr. Chago]

So let me get this straight. It is not okay for Floyd to fight the #2 P4P fighter in the world in his come back fight.. despite the fact they started 4 pounds apart from each other. But.. it is ok for Cotto to fight Pac???? why isnt' there a damn uproar about this? Some of the people on this site are a joke. Double standards are every where.

The truth is that PBF is as controversial as it can get in boxing...which translates in more money and interest from the fans and haters...smartest self-manage boxer...like it or not.

As a PBF fan I really expect him to comeback and fight the top contenders at the weight he fights...it's just a matter of time...after having a tune up, no disrespect to JMM but that's what that fight really is.

[apokalips]

Brian Kenny hotted Floyd up about not fighting Baldomir or Hatton instead of Judah and everyone bitched so Floyd fought them and in between broke records with a fight against ODLH. Who in their right mind would choose Margarito in those circumstances? Margo wasn't anyone....Baldomir was lineal and people, regardless of what they claim now, thought Baldy could hurt Floyd.

When we look back at history this won't matter cuz Margarito is a C- level fighter nowhere near HOF status and will be known as a cheater. Whether you feel he ducked him or not is your opinion. It doesn't hurt Floyd's career...

Now that's he back, if he doesn't fight the best it hurts his legacy...

Ok if Margs is a C- level fighter then ......NAME ME 10 BETTER WWs OF THIS ERA?? BETTER YET....NAME ME 6.

Tell me who has been a champion LONGER than him in this generation at WW??

I'll wait.

I don't know why your a fan of a cheater but...we talkin who's a flat out better fighter or who has a better resume than him?

That's what I thought.

You're claiming he's a C level fighter. Tell me of C, B, hell even level A fighters that have done what he's done at WW?

What has he done. He beat Cotto. A very good fighter. Beat Cintron another C level fighter. Beat Clottey who was fighting wit injured hands who is a pretty good fighter. Outside of that he aint done ****.

His best win is Cotto and that win is up in the air because he's a cheater.

Margarito aint on the level of any of them guys and Pryor was dying to fight Leonard but Leonard wasn't having that...

Neither Baldomir or Margarito are elite fighters...

If Pryor was "dying" to fight Leonard, then he should've accepted half a mil.
