    Exactly, And this was around the time when Floyd was getting ready to fight Oscar. Which one would you go for? lol. He made about 16 million for Oscar, Possibly more. And it made him a worldwide star, Beating Margarito wouldnt have done anything. The guy had no recognition or name whatsoever.

    Margarito is a bum.

      Baldomir does suck but before losing to Mayweather in 2006, his last lost was 1998.

            He was offered the Margarito fight before the Baldomir one, Yet he went for the easy title instead for a legacy fight. Like a *****.

            He's still scared of Margarito, Just like he was from Cotto.


            Mayweather is a bum

                But if that's true, Why did Mayweather turn down the offer to fight him?


                How was he not a "PPV" draw when he has the record of highest gate at staples center?



                I'll tell you why, Because Gayweather was afraid of the tijuana tornado


                At least a midget has more balls than him, But Pacquiao will get KOd .
                Because he bought out his top rank contract for $750k and fought for the lineal undisputed ww title for more money vs carlos baldomir. There is not one person on this board who would fight margarito (2 fights removed from losing to daniel santos Sept 2004) for the WBO ww title rather than the lineal undisputed ww title for less money. If you say otherwise you are a ****ing liar.

                The staples center record was set in 2008. Shane Mosley is from Pomona that obviously helped the live gate. In 2005-2006 there is no way in hell he does that.

                  so floyd admits it and its true right?
                  Ok then well Floyd also said Manny didnt agree to the random testing and he also said that Manny is Peding so judging by your logic it must be true right?
                  You just pwned yourself

                    Lol wtf are you talking about. Floyd's last fight under Top Rank was with Zab Judah. Floyd Mayweather left Top Rank to get a fight with DLH. DLH fought Mayorga in 2006, Mayweather was left without a dance partner so he fought Baldomir for WW ring title. 2007 was Mayweather-DLH. In the meantime, Mayweather in a court battle with Bob Arum and Arum made that 8mill offer fresh off the court battle and went on a smear campaign to make Mayweather look bad.

                    You don't know what you're talking about. And if you do, link always helps. If not then you're just making **** up.

                      Shane Mosley doesn't even have fans in his hometown. He wasn't EVER a draw. Look he admits it in this video.




                      Margarito was already beloved by all when they offered Mayweather the fight, He was loved in all of Mexico that fight could've done more than a mill in PPV sales but Floyd bitched out of fighting el Tornado
