How did Margarito become able to offer Mayweather 7 million dollars??? What, from his Cintron PPV?

It was something Arum was going to have to do to get Margarito a chance at Mayweather,What you think Arum has no money? Margarito would kill Mayweather.

Hard work, hard sparring and strength of mind is what you will find inside the training camp of Floyd Mayweather Jr. “Never Tired” is the best way to describe Mayweather’s condition for his upcoming November 19 fight against Sharmba Mitchell. Mayweather is in the right frame of mind, outstanding condition and ready to fight as training camp enters its final stages.

Mayweather is always prepared to call in new sparring partners as boxers come and go during the duration of training camp. This has not been the case in this camp as Mayweather brought in boxing’s top thoroughbreds, Former champion DeMarcus Corley, Veteran Ray Collins and WBC Continental Americas champion Donald Camarena. There has been no need to call in replacement sparring partners as this high quality team of southpaws have been in camp from the start..

Typical of Mayweather’s training you will see him loosen up for a good 15 minutes and begin his sparring session. He will spar for a good 40 minutes at minimum and if that’s not enough, he then begins with his work out routine which consist of bag work, mitts and exercises. All non-stop… Never Tire!

Mayweather took the time to share some words with us:

Aurelio: How’s training camp going?

Mayweather: This training camp was alright, you’ve always got to have a positive training camp, good sparring good work good southpaws. Chop Chop former world champion, Donald an up and coming champion, he’ll be a champion in the future, Ray Collins an old school vet and they’re all southpaws so I had a good training camp.

Aurelio: You brought in a former champ, a veteran and a young guy, was this done purposely, was that the plan?

Mayweather: However the training camps falls in place is how it falls in place and it happened to fall in place like it did and that’s a great thing.

Aurelio: This fight is happing at 147 pounds; do you ever plan on coming back down to 140 or will you take over the 147 pound division?

Mayweather: We don’t know what the future holds for us. It don’t matter, it’s not about belts for us, it’s about being a legend in the sport and being the best out there, being the best in your time. Right now I’m trying to beat the best guys in my time.

Aurelio: When you first started training camp I heard you say something that stuck in my mind, and that’s when you said when you finish boxing and it’s all over with you’re going to be the greatest boxer that ever boxed. And you meant that.

Mayweather: Absolutely! And so is everybody that’s part of my training camps. Right now a lot of people don’t see it but twenty years from now people are going to say it was great being in the gym with Floyd Mayweather, I was proud being part of his team or even be part of his training camp. I’ve got a good good team behind me, I’m always positive I’m always happy and I’m giving the sport of boxing everything the sport of boxing needs as far as positive hard work and dedication.

Aurelio: Sharmba Mitchell, how do you approach him, does he bring anything different being a southpaw and a heavier fighter?

Mayweather: He’s a guy with 60 fights, He’s got more fights than anyone I’ve fought but I beat more world champions, I’ve been in more world championship fights than Shamba Mitchell has been in and I’ve beat more world champions.

Aurelio: What about the other fights out there?

Mayweather: I’m trying to stay active fighting the fights the network puts in front of me. I tried to get a fight with Winky Wright I could not get, tried with Zab Judah, couldn’t get it, tried with Ricky Hatton, couldn’t get it and the list goes on and on Shane Mosley, couldn’t get it. Sharmba Mitchell was the only one that would step up to the plate so that’s why we are fighting Sharmba Mitchell.

Aurelio: What do you think about Zab Judah and his talk about when he sees you at a press conference he’s going to make you fight?

Mayweather: Zab Judah is a video groupie he’s mad because he’s not a million dollar man. I’m HBO’s pride and joy and he hates that. The guy don’t know who he wants to be, I don’t have anything bad to say about the guy but the guy got all the celebrity status by being in guys rap videos. I got my celebrity status by doing what I’m doing, being the best (boxer) out there. Zab Judah had a chance to step up to the plate this fight but did not make the fight happen, you know this guy didn’t want to fight. A lot of guys talk about it but they don’t be about it. I be about it, I only want to fight the best out there and continue to rack up victories so I can go down as a legend in the sport.

As long as I have my good team, I’ve got Leonard, I’ve got my uncle Roger, I’ve got Rafael and if we keep having positive camps the sky’s the limit.

Aurelio: What’s the situation with Top Rank?

Mayweather: Me, and Bob Arum have ups and downs, that’s how boxing is, you have good days you have bad days but when it’s all said and done, in the end it’s about the bottom line. Bob Arum is a great guy, I have nothing negative to say about him and on the next fight we’ll be working back together.

Aurelio: We know Chop Chop and Ray Collins are top quality work how about a grade on the youngster Donald Camarena.

Mayweather: Donald is a good fighter, he’s got that peek-a-boo style, and in the future he can become a world champion.

man, you don't need to waste yer time cuz errrone knows Mayweatha is ta best. No one is beating tis guy especially Margarito who no one even knows about. Margarito shoulnt be mentioned in ta same sentence wit Mayweather plain and simple!

not yet he shouldnt
i dont like people ripping on floyd for fighting a solid fighter who was once world champ at his FIRST fight at welterweight

im well aware he needs to make a big fight, and soon, but people need to relax, these things take time

[.::|ULTIMATE|::.]

I know u werent saying the same before pacquiao beat Barrera.

It was something Arum was going to have to do to get Margarito a chance at Mayweather,What you think Arum has no money? Margarito would kill Mayweather.

Who does he think Margarito is to offer 7 million dollars? Thats a Trinidad/DLH pay check right there, and if its so easy to pay Floyd 7 million, than maybe a fight with Zab or whoever will pay that.

[ReneV]

Zab Judah's the "man" in the division anyways. The only people that want to see Margarito fight are Mexicans.

He's not a draw by any means.

Zab Judah? You mean the one who invented the Judah dance when he got knocked out cross-eyed? That Judah? Judah is just a paper champion right now,and Mayweather a wannabe champion but only if Floyd gets a belt with an easy match, When have you ever seen Judah or Mayweather fight a real war in the ring? never, Even Judah himself said on espn when he was asked after the Corrales-Castillo fight if he would ever see himself in that kind of war and he said "no" he would never fight that kind of war in the ring and if thats what it takes to be a worrior then I'm not a worrior;Thats what Judah said.True words of a paper champion. And No one cares to see Mayweather run He's the one that is not, nor ever will be a draw, when has he ever attracted a malor pay-per view fight? never. Even he said so. And you have it the other way around; the only one's who wants to see Mayweather fight are only the black people and that's maybe if there is not another good fight on. Noone wants to see an extremly boring fight man you know that!
