did Mayweather duck Margarito?

[daggum]

Yeah I guess he did. Maybe he will fight him after Berto.

Ya see Mayweather doesn't really duck them, he makes them wait until they are beatable. Then when he is sure they are a sure win he signs.

this is so true. floyd fans act like cotto and pac were at their best when floyd fought them of dear. if he fought marg they would probably do the same. their pea brains can't understand that you can duck someone and then 5 years later fight that very same person! that doesn't mean he didn't them duck 5 years earlier. very complex stuff.

anology time! in 5 years if canelo fights ggg after ggg has suffered a couple ko losses and has changed his style from destroyer to more of a boxer does that mean canelo didn't duck him now(presuming he doesn't fight him)

cue the jeopardy music! lets see if floyd fans can get it

Greedy Bob wanted to take more than 40% of the revenue from BOTH fighters, Floyd wanted 11 and Bob offered 8, and they were having problems with the purse from the Judah and Gatti fights, So Mayweather did like Dela Hoya and left Arum to become his own promoter, Arum himself was quoted laughing at the thought of Mayweather making 20 mill against Dela Hoya, and boy was he wrong.

[MurkaMan]

if he was just after the money wouldn't he have fought margarito? that was 7 million while his "money fight" with gatti was only 3.2 million.

what do you mean he went directly to them? i can remember him fighting guys like corley and bruseles, and then mitchell, zab and baldomir. you are on time out from using the word directly. he didnt' have time to sneak in a career high payday while waiting for hoya? you kinda prove the point that he was ducking right there. floyd wanted hoya so bad that he couldn't risk losing to marg.

Whats the point of lying? You just want to destroy this legend huh? LOL After all he did for the sport.

He fought and chased after Gatti a long time before Margarita was even in the picture. I dont care about who he fought in between, which were great opponents, but he was just waiting for the chance to get Oscar. By the time Margarita came into the picture, Oscar was right around the corner. If he ducked him, then he ducked him, but a fighter of Floyd's caliber probably looked at Margarita as a joke. Lol

And like I said prior, Floyd never looked at Margarita and Cotto's bumazzes the way he looked at Pacman. He ducked Pacman for a while. But when he retired, he came back and fought people bigger, better, stronger, and faster than a couple guys at 140 Lol

Stop making up stories and give props to Floyd. He fought who we wanted, and it aint right to keep repeating lies about him. When he fought Gatti, dude went up to SRL's face and told him that he would humiliate him and make him look like a bum. Again who df is Margarita? Lyin azz nickka!!! Lol

[Fantasiabruja]

floyd and margarito were both with top rank back then. they offered him the marg fight for 7 mill and he fought sharmba and zab instead. then they offered it to him again for 8 but he demanded 20 mill guarantee to fight hoya as part of the deal(he fought hoya for 10)

The beef with top rank was alive none the less and he was already trying to take over his career making it difficult for top rank to negotiate fights for him. He realized at that point that Arum did not have his best interest in mind and Arum was trying to capitalize on the most feared fighter rep that Margarito was getting at the time which was the buzz Tony had. Money was pissed at the favoritism Arum was showing for the latino fighters in his stable.

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

Yes he did.

Everyone who hates put everything to the side and say it with me. YES HE DID.

You will feel better too, I remember when I was a F L O M O and I would say otherwise but then I turned 19 and found a new life a new me basically I became my own man and stopped with the silly bias shenanigans. The truth is the truth no denying that and mayweather rep/respect doesn't have a bearing on our lives so say it with me YES HE DID.

[The Problem Child]

If anyone deserved a plaster beating, it was/is floyd. I wish it would have happened. But floyd ducked the fight hard just like he ducked Cotto and Mosley in their primes.

having floyd figth margarito isn't in floyd's best interests? are floyd's best interests setting him up with easy opponents? why not destroy that whole most feared man in boxing while making a career high payday and against a mexican fighter(they always bring the most ppv buys) all the factors were there for a good ppv fight but...floyd's balls were not present.

so basically you are admitting he ducked him because he was too dangerous and he didn't want to lose out on a hoya payday. thank you. if he thought marg was a joke he would have taken that 7-8 million dollars(plus more ppv upside) and fought him but instead he took less to fight sharmba, zab, and baldomir so please stop with that garbage.

Why did you highlight a portion of my comment and duck the rest? Cherrypicking, and choosing at its best.

No Im not saying what you claimed Im saying. I made it clear; Floyd probably looked at Margarita as a joke. He never looked at him as a threat. He looked at Pacman as a threat and look how long it took for that fight to happen. Again who is Margarita? LOL

Before Pac came along, their was no such thing as a fighter that Floyd viewed as a threat. Look at who we are talking about here; Floyd Effin Mayweather. This dude is the best we have ever seen.

Now if you hate him, cool, but I dont think its cool to repeat lies specially after what he did for the sport!

cause the rest was nonsense? i already destroyed your logic that floyd saw him as a joke. if he saw him as a joke why not take the 7 million? instead he took 4 million to fight someone else. if neither guys is a threat to him why not take the 7 million instead of the 4? derp!
