And you all called Mayweather a coward...

[ferocity]

ferocity should be here any minute now

how'd you know

[ferocity]

Another thread that ferocity will ruin. lol

why does the truth hurt

[Easy-E]

If DLH made 30 mil against Mayorga, he'll probably make 35-40 mil against Mayweather. I'd say that means Mayweather gets something like 12-15 mil.

THe preliminary expectations was that a 55 million dollar purse would be split 60-40, with Oscar getting 32 and Floyd getting 22.

yeah, floyd has really earned a title shot at delahoya with those wins hes had lately sure

its ok, some mayweather fans can see past floyds nutsack

[toe to toe]

Now do all of you jackasses that said Mayweather was ducking Margarito get the point? DLH vs. Mayweather is next, and Floyd is going to make something like 12 million for it. DLH is a way tougher opponent than Margarito because not only is he much bigger than Mayweather, he is very fast as well. You can all root for DLH against Mayweather all you want, but the fact is this fight is going to generate more money than any sub-heavyweight fight of all time. Just you watch. Boxing is getting more press from ESPN and the like, and DLH just had a HUGE PPV performance. Mayweather's name has gotten out there with PPV wins over Gatti and Judah, especially because of that brawl, and the world knows he's the greatest fighter in the world right now. This fight has big money written all over it, and nobody can tell me they don't wanna see it.

mayweather could have made $8 million plus whatever he made for dlh. he said margarito was easy work but he was all talk. to this day he fears the mexican bad ass.

$8 million for Baldomir and a real belt, not the WBO belt, which is the least legitimate of the major 4.

Figure out our currency or shut the **** up *****.

The belt is worthless whether it is WBC or WBO.
Truth is Margerito was the tougher fight.
And anyone interested in a REAL LEGACY would have taken them BOTH.
However Floyd has stated publicly he has no intention of proving anything to the fans cos it's all about the benjamins.
In other words "**** the fans".

Which may or may not mean **** the qualified experts who determine who is the best in the sport. Fans are notoriously dumb and close-minded. It's true.

He should have fought Margarito as well as Baldomir, as well as Williams, Cotto, Mosley, Cintron, Clottey and Collazo. The problem is that they are not enough months in the year. Every other big name fighter takes 6 months between fights... I don't know why Floyd is not allowed to do so as well.

EDIT: I wasn't talking about the WBC belt being more legitimate than the WBO belt. I was talking about The Ring belt. Even if you don't buy the qualititative theory, the quantity of belts at stake for each fighter's fight swings to Baldomir as well.

real talk. margarito was clearly the bigger challenge but mayweather is a businessman and not a fighter. he is afraid to fight the best.
