Don't matter it was widely reported Floyd turned down 8 million for Margarito and instead fought Carlos Baldymir for 8 million and a penny.
In addition Margarito literally stalked Floyd for a fight when you Floyd boys love to crow about everybody ducking him before he was the a side. On video for proof
Stalking a boxer for a shot is common in boxing. Nothing new there. Floyd moved up to 147 in 2006 so you’re telling us that Margacheato showed up to stalk a guy that was coming from 140 Ibs and Floyd is supposed to be like “Ok, I just left Bob but now I’m going to fight his charge”
Yeah, that sounds like how things work out.

I don’t know, man. Where would I rather be?
$8 million fighting Margarito with a cloud over his career at the time (2006) ?
Or buy out your contract for $750,000 and go on to make somewhere in the neighborhood of half a billion dollars over the next 10-12 years while still fighting the grand majority people were criticizing him for not facing?
Shoot, give me Option B all day. $8 million is peanuts. He bet on himself, and he recouped nearly a hundred fold.Comment

Ok so I’ll just ask you again since you’ve not answered it;
How could Cotto possibly get that fight changed to a no contest?
I don’t care about “most sports” this is boxing, it’s not a team sport for starters. Are you aware of how the sport of boxing works and it’s rules? It doesn’t seem that you are.
You sound wild like boxing isn't corrupt like fighters are still not testing postive and still allowed to fight. You are proving my point this sport is rigged they ( boxing commission) probably paid cotto not to address it. All his wins needs removed.Comment

Thank you. He never beat another top level fighter after that Mosley fight. The hand wraps mentally gave him power. He really thought he was green lantern. I felt so bad for cotto but I enjoyed Mosley beating him down like a dog.Comment
