cotto seem like more of a name fighter so if arum could offer 8 for a guy that no one on the eastcaost knew how could he not atleast offer that for a cotto fight?did you see the paper?no you didn't so for the most part it's just words.floyd asked for 10 mill to fight cotto and hatton when asked to fight margarito not when asked to fight cotto and recently cotto himself said that they never tried to get a fight with mayweather so it seems like you know about negotiations that miguel himself didn't know about
Mayweather will never have a GREAT win......

Floyd didnt norhing period. Again your talking about time machines when in the end floyd acheived his financial goals in boxing. Again its called knowing your worth, he made the money that he felt he deserved. If you think he ducked you and bob must have not seen the bigger picture. Again he believed he would be the richest boxer and it actually happend, you dont need a time machine for that just hard work and dedication. God bless homie, Im going to sleep.Comment

yes cotto was slightly more popular than margarito. hence floyd doesn't get as much money because cotto is going to get a bigger piece of the pie. where as margarito would take less of the pie leaving floyd more. this is how boxing works. this is also why big fights don't get made.cotto seem like more of a name fighter so if arum could offer 8 for a guy that no one on the eastcaost knew how could he not atleast offer that for a cotto fight?did you see the paper?no you didn't so for the most part it's just words.floyd asked for 10 mill to fight cotto and hatton when asked to fight margarito not when asked to fight cotto and recently cotto himself said that they never tried to get a fight with mayweather so it seems like you know about negotiations that miguel himself didn't know aboutComment

ok well if he fights baldomir for 8 million why not fight margarito? why is 8 million for baldomir acceptable but not margarito? margarito is more popular and will sell more ppv's and he's been ranked number 1 for 3 years. i guess it's not about the money after all....weird someone said that it was ....forgot his name...Floyd didnt norhing period.

thats questionable i guees the fact that he is mexican he probably would of had a strong mexican following but we don't know if he would of did great numbers their are better mexican fighters like morales barrera and marquez that were not doing great numbers. who ever knew zab judah knew baldomir.if floyd got 8 mill regardless how was he turning down money?he still got 8 mill just for fighting someone else and floyd also wanted to fight delahoya which arum said he wanted no part ofok well if he fights baldomir for 8 million why not fight margarito? why is 8 million for baldomir acceptable but not margarito? margarito is more popular and will sell more ppv's and he's been ranked number 1 for 3 years. i guess it's not about the money after all....weird someone said that it was ....forgot his name...Comment

Yoi just woke me up both margo and baldo were unknown to casual fans, but baldo scored a huge upset over judah which made everyone talk about him. Then he beat gatti and became a cindarella man in boxing, you know that. Add to that he had the belts and a great story line it was a better choice. I still dont see why you think he ducked, you seem to know your stuff ??Comment

Margarito had no fan base and Nobody knew who margarito was until floyd left top rank and arum used Floyd's name to create a boogy man in margarito by claiming mayweather was afraid. Even though year and a half before all of this propaganda Arum proclaimed Floyd to be the fighter ever, better than ray Robinson and Ali..ok........Then margarito loses to Paul Williams,thats questionable i guees the fact that he is mexican he probably would of had a strong mexican following but we don't know if he would of did great numbers their are better mexican fighters like morales barrera and marquez that were not doing great numbers. who ever knew zab judah knew baldomir.if floyd got 8 mill regardless how was he turning down money?he still got 8 mill just for fighting someone else and floyd also wanted to fight delahoya which arum said he wanted no part of
and I'm supposed to believe that a fight vs margarito would have been legit?
