If it was Mayweather vs Margarito, would you call it a cherrypick?

[swizz]

I can't find them. I was looking for the evidence to back my claims up but I couldn't find any, that's why I'm not challenging Jro's reply.

There are pretty much no articles on winky and mayweather left , I couldn't find anything about their negotiations. Nothing to support or refute any claim.

You just had to have been following them when it was taking place, and I wasn't at the time, so there's no way to tell.

thats because none exist

You're about 7 months behind.

ESPN, LA Times, HBO, The ring, Tim Schaefer, Max Kellerman, Bob Arum, De La Hoya and Pacquiao already confirmed that he agreed to full random, and Floyd has done nothing to deny it. When is the last time you heard a statement from the mayweather camp saying: "If he accepts random testing we'll whup his ass no question" after this was announced?

Answer: Never

It's all on Floyd now.

Why didn't he accept WAYYY back in March when Floyd agreed to ALL his demands?????????

It was all on Nanny in March and you huggers don't say ***** about that.

I wonder why??????????

Nanny didn't agree to random testing with no cut-off date....he still wants the same 14 day window he RAN from in March.

The ship has sailed on that one.

Arum said he wouldn't negotiate thru the media...then he turned around and did just that.

Truth be told...THERE WERE NO SECOND NEGOTIATIONS.

It was just Arum (and his media flunkies) spinning it.


"Yesterday I was lying....today...I'm telling the truth"...Bob Arum

Anybody that takes his word must be a fool or have rabies.

[DARKSEID]

Ahhh, figures.

Not even anything if you type in Mayweather Wright 80-20 or any key words of that nature? Keep trying becuase i really want to see these articles as im sure i'd have remebered something like that.

If you look up "Wright Mayweather Negotiations" or "Wright Mayweather Contract"

All you get Is pacquiao mayweather articles.

Well heres just the first one that came up when i typed in 'Floyd Mayweather Winky Wright'

[jrosales13]

Good post, i've heard other people on here say what he said so i've got to believe he got it from someone on here.

It is crazy, Winky got offered 6mil for Floyd. Which is big money for him. While Floyd was talking about getting 9mil.

Winky stated that it should be 50/50 because Floyd is not a draw that Oscar is or whatever. However, WTF did Winky draw? This from Winky mouth himself.

http://www.boxingscene.com/?m=show&id=2006

BoxingScene.com: There have been reports he was offered 9 million in order to make the fight, is that an accurate number?

Winky Wright: Well, I don't know, but for me, I was offered 6 million and for 6 million hands down I would have fought him. I kind of knew they were giving him 9(million), but I think it should have been 50-50 like I've said. He's a small guy, a great fighter, but if he wants to fight, he isn't a big draw. He isn't (the draw) like he thinks he's (Oscar) De la Hoya so if we're going to do it, we will do it 50-50 or we just won't do it.

Another article.

http://www.sptimes.com/2005/07/26/Sports/Wright_vs_Mayweather_.shtml

Promoter Gary Shaw still says he isn't accepting any less than a 50-50 split to put Winky Wright in with Floyd Mayweather Jr. , but Bob Arum said he was a hasty in declaring the fight dead last week.

"I'm not going to play games," Shaw said.

Money is the only thing making this fight worthwhile for Wright. The matchup with Mayweather is a lose-lose proposition for the 160-pounder, unless the right cash is there.

If Wright beats Mayweather, the analysts will say: well, he darn well should have beaten him because he's so much bigger. If Wright loses, he'll have fallen to a much smaller fighter, delivering a hit to his marketability.

No wonder Wright sounds as enthused about this fight as he would another matchup with Bronco McKart .

For the 140-pound champ Mayweather, it's win-win. He'll be a legend if he moves up two weight classes and beats Wright. If he loses, he will be applauded for his guts and courage.

"Winky has everything to lose but nothing to gain," Shaw said. "Mayweather has nothing to lose and everything to gain."

Wright is behind Shaw all the way.

After years of being low-balled by promoters when he wasn't being avoided by them, Wright's "straight-up money chase" no longer involves being taken advantage of.

In regards to the 50-50 split that Shaw is insisting on, Wright said he wouldn't do the fight for less

Floyd didn't duck Winky, if anybody did the ducking or out priced himself it was Winky not Floyd.

[FerdinandMarcos]

Of course not. Mayweather doesn't do anything wrong didn't you know that?

Nanny is the Saintly character that seems to float above all media scrutiny.

If Mayweather had said:

"I need more than 14 days to recover from taking blood"

He would have been laughed out of boxing.

So what does Pacquiao and Winky Wright have to do with my Question?

Or my original Post?

I don't like to delve into issues where I wasn't yet involved or that i'm not informed in, which is why I gave that argument up to JRO.

[Vegan101]

A gay boxer like Gayweather will never ever fight an opponent that can take away his beloved "0."

Ahhh, ok, thats cool, just don't respond because clearly what you were saying was garbage. The Winky Wright situation was brought up because you responded to someone else saying Wright could outbox Mayweather, with 'Floyd already ducked Wright, what makes you think he would fight him?' (what that has to do with anything i don't know).

Every other response after that was asking you to justify your claim, which is obviously untrue, and its quite blatently clear you have never read an article with the content you claimed was in it, its abundently clear.
