Why did Mayweather turn down 8 million dollars to face off against Margarito?

[DARKSEID]

He's a bum always has been. Also Baldomir brought more money and hardware that he gained legitimately.

I'm tired of that excuse. He could have beat baldomir and then take the money with margarito, or he could have fought margarito, taken the money and then fight Baldomir.

The only consistent thing he did was duck margarito.

Margarito can't handle Mayweather's boxing ability

Fixed it for you~

Fixed it for you~

yeah because margarito is avoiding mayweather

It has been explained, it was a business move it had nothing to do with fear.

It is funny that Mayweather is only affraid of Top Rank fighters~

Mayweather during the handwrap scandal: "Yeah I knew there was something funny about him.. that's why I never wanted to fight him."

That still doesnt explain why he didn't take the money and the fight with margarito after he fought baldomir. Or maybe re-negotiated for an even bigger guarantee. He didn't do any of that. It's obvious Mayweather doesn't take the dangerous fights. Anyone who doesn't have his nuts on their face can see that for themselves.

Bcause taking the Margrito fight locks him into Top Rank, do you think Arum would give him that kind of money (which was above his worth at the time) with no strings.

If his plan was to fight Oscar and if you were around at the time you would know that was what he was trying to do, taking the money with Top Rank would have been a ******ed move since it would cost him the De La Hoya fight which made him more in a single night than he made his whole career with Arum to that point.


Would you take 8 million today if it costs you 25ish million about a year in the future especially when you can fight Baldomir and make a similar ammount in the mean time with no strings.

damn man this is still being asked? seriously? Floyd fought Baldomir because he made a lot more money and Baldomir had a higher title to fight for, is that not simple enough? this is like the 1,000,000th time someone asked this question

[FerdinandMarcos]

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.

I doubt if they can comprehend the truth.

[FerdinandMarcos]

I mean like all Ricans say he's a "No technique, face first punching bag"



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 .

Let me educate you lil mexican.

Arum admitted Floyd ACCEPTED the offer.!!!!

Floyd wanted 20 for Oscar and 10 each for Cotto and Hatton.......RESONABLE...

Arum said: "Floyd was delusional" and the rest is history.

Anybody that thinks Tony was worth more than Hatton and Cotto should be deported.

I guess you got me. You know way more about Mayweather's life than I do. I can't compete with your expert knowledge on the way he thinks and acts.

I'll try to research him this weekend and see if I can't discover his philosophies and views on life, business and boxing.

Then I can better understand why he does what he does and defend him even though I don't know him personally or what he really stands for(since it seems to change every week) - for free.
