Mayweather Should Get The Most Money, Says Schaefer

[jrosales13]

No one knew Margarito at that time. In no way would that have done 400K, NO WAY.

No. People knew who Margarito was in the westcoast. He would of done more than 400k He had a mexican fanbase. See the people who bought Judah-Mayweather were their fans who are basically the same people. If you add Floyd fans with the westcoast fans plus the mexican fans it does over 400k. People knew Margarito. The eastcoast knew him. But, to them he is/was a westcoast hypejob. Believe me it would of done more than 400k.

Anyways if you don't really follow boxing and you are not a boxing geek this names means nothing to you. So you in your eyes you might think you making a point. But, if you really a hardcore boxing nut. You knew that Margarito was a legit top 3 WW and a very dangerous fighter. And, tougher fight than Judah fight. You knew Margarito was the real deal.

THEREIN lies the problem: only the hardcore fans knew margarito.

Understand: Nobody wanted to fight margarito because he was ALL DOWNSIDE. Sure, maybe he could beat Shane, or floyd, or oscar or vargas back then. But what would they accomplish by beating Tony?

Recognition? No
Money? no
Belt? No

Why waste six months in your prime for Margarito?

The CASUAL FAN (you know, the ones that bring the MONEY), wouldn't care, and the WBO belt was worthless.

Why do you think SRL ignored Aaron Pryor?

J-Ro.

I WAS VERY CLOSE TO THE SITUATION BECAUSE WE HAD THE T&M ACCOUNT. I'm going to ask you to TRUST me on this one.

Floyd had been asked if he wanted Marg before when he was at 140. And after the Judah fight. but NOT NOT NOT around the Judah fight . Margarito was already busy that winter. confirmation from rafael below.

Also, Shane, oscar, e tc were offered Marg. But Tony was a no-name and his belt wasn't respected. There was nothing in it for those guys.

See below.

Margarito-Gomez: Although few fighters are willing to get in the ring with rugged welterweight titlist Antonio Margarito, Manuel Gomez is more than willing.

Gomez (28-10-2, 20 KOs) has been waiting patiently for a well-deserved title shot, and he's getting it Feb. 18 (2006) at the Aladdin Hotel-Casino in Las Vegas in the main event of a Top Rank pay-per-view card.

Margarito and Gomez were set to fight Nov. 12 (2005) on the Vitali Klitschko-Hasim Rahman card that was canceled because of Klitschko's knee injury and subsequent retirement. But promoter Bob Arum salvaged the fight by building the February PPV card around it.

"Vitali Klitschko won't be saving you in this one, Margarito," Gomez -- who is 10-0-2 in his last 12 fights -- said during this week's news conference to announce the card.

When Margarito (32-4, 23 KOs) came to the podium he responded, "I'm going to show, when I fight Gomez, why the other guys don't want to fight me. I am going to put on a spectacular fight."

Margarito is one of the roughest fighters in the world from 140 to 154 pounds, and Arum has had a difficult time finding marquee names willing to face him.

"No one, including [Oscar] De La Hoya, [Floyd] Mayweather, [Fernando] Vargas or [Shane] Mosley will fight Margarito -- all were contacted and all declined," Arum said.

"I went through the same thing when we had Marvin Hagler. No one wanted to fight Hagler, but we kept him fighting and eventually the big fights happened. I expect the same for Margarito."

Margarito will be making his sixth title defense and is coming off a sensational performance in April, when he thrashed Kermit Cintron in a fifth-round TKO victory.

Gomez's record is a little misleading because he lost three of his first four fights. However, he owns victories against Kofi Jantuah and Miguel Angel Gonzalez and gave Shane Mosley the toughest fight of Mosley's lightweight championship reign before being stopped in the 11th round.

lol why did you use a line of my whole post to try and make a point? Re-read my post again about Floyd being offered a fight with Margarito around the fight with Judah happened.

[Horus]

HORUS,

That is a sick, sick post.

How did you do that with the threads?

I just went to Search on the regular toolbar
then click on advance search
and type in The keywords option,
Mayweather vs. Judah
or
Mayweather vs. Gatti
or
Mayweather vs. baldomir

and then went down to the [Sort Results by]
and then click for the results to be put in ascending order.


I think it is funny to see how posters today want to rewrite history.
but forgeting the fact that we still have the PROOF of the past.

Margarito HAD a fight and nobody showed up and nobody bought it. That isn't supposition. That is fact.

Why are you making claims with obvious data to the contrary?

[SOPH~ REP.]

according to golden boy promotions ceo richard schaefer, floyd mayweather jr. Should be the one to get the bulk of the money in a potential fight with manny pacquiao, miguel cotto or whoever else. Schaefer told boxingscene.com’s bill emes that mayweather showed his ability to generate money with the recent pay-per-view buyrate of 1 million homes for his fight with juan manuel marquez in september [details]

i think he should , considering he will be the main attraction,his fans want him to win & his haters want him to lose.ask rick ross

I'm a hardcore boxing fan and I didn't know about Margarito untill Viva Mexico kept mentioning him. Viva Mexico was Margarito's 24/7. Him and C'momang (However you spell his name).

Yeah I responded to him saying the same. Some picked Judah by K.O
