Can someone help me about the Mayweather vs Top Rank Situation?

[HeroBando]

Mayweather made 25 and Oscar 52 million actually.

That's great but we were talking guarantees, and he received only 15m with no middleman. after requesting 20m from one

That still doesn't explain how there was 8 mill for a nobody like Margarito when DLH was 4 times as popular.

Didn't Bob pay off James Prince Jr, who mayweather had a contract with and an advance with as well?? Think Bob stepped up big for Floyd at that time... Maybe that's why Bob wasn't giving Floyd the exact amount Floyd was expecting

i can say for a fact that the j-prince situation was more than just money. like i said in another post, it was a few issues that needed to be ironed out and bob definately lended a hand but it had no bearing on his issues as a fighter.

Margarito wasnt a nobody, he was mexican and that brings all those fans especially if it was a big fight vs floyd


Floyd was getting 9 mil guarantee because Margs was a threat and huge risk.

I think floyd saw Cotto, Margarito, in the Top Rank Stable and found it to be easier to self promote then to tangle with those guys 2006-2008...

if you have been reading the thread he wanted the cotto/hatton fight at a particular price and when he realized he wasnt gonna get it he left. you think when he was beating the breaks off gatti and bruseles he was worried about cotto at that time? come on.

True for the most part but he had beaten the hell out of undefeated Cintron and Serg...

Margarito didnt become a huge star till the cotto fight, but i think if he would have fought floyd in 2006 it would have been the biggest fight of 2006.. It was kinda a slow year in boxing with Tarver-hopkins, Winky-taylor, Oscar-mayorga

when he beat sergio martinez that fight was insignifgant as ****. when he beat cintron very few people even ordered that ppv to the point where espn never put another one on again. he was doing little ppvs here and there averaging like 15,000-20,000 a buy when floyd was doing 350k on average through 2 ppvs at that point. yes he was a nobody until the 8 million appeared and took this board by storm, even now, 7 years later, people still bring it up even with the plaster situation.

Margarito hadnt fought anybody because nobody wanted to fight him...

Remember he was the most avoided fighter in the sport at the time....
MAthyse, Paul williams, etc have all been that guy
