Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather Glad He Never Fought "Cheater" Margarito

[fantasy5021]

Floyd would of kicked his ass anyway. margaritos wide punches would have been countered every single time. overwhelmed with mayweather combinations.

[Robbie Barrett]

you don't understand the concept of guarantees i see. he had a 10 million guarantee for the oscar fight yet he wanted a 20 million guarantee when he was with top rank. no one could guarantee him that much at that time. you want proof of that? look how much his guarantee was. 10 million. not 20.

the question you should be asking is why did he demand 20 million guarantee with top rank and then suddenly change his mind months later? in boxing we call this pricing yourself out.

Pricing himself out of a fight he accepted?

[Lou Cipher]

Floyd just played himself, unless he's trying to say he knew Cheato was cheating 2 years before he got caught. This is the smoking gun, ass holes. Floyd has ALWAYS been a ducking Turd.

2006

CHEATO WBO Champion and LOST 1 1/2 Before. 3-1 his last 4 fights.

Baldomir WBC, Lineal, IBA CHAMPION!!! Would of HAD the WBA AND IBF Belts as well if he paid there fees.

and sharmba mitchell was champ of what? bumland? when he fought him for 3 millino instead of marg for 7? IT JUST WASNT IN THE CARDS! FLOYD DOESN'T CARE ABOUT MONEY OH WAIT...thats the reason for fighting baldomir but not marg sorry i got yoru contradictions messed up

[daggum]

Mayweather already agreed to fight Judah for the titles before Judah-Baldomir, Judah lost but the Mayweather-Judah fight went ahead. Mayweather then fought the WW champion Baldomir. Then DLH and Hatton. All those fight were bigger/more important than Marg.

no that fight was off when judah lost. i think yo know this but are in defense/denial mode to defend a terrible fight. they re-did the contracts go look it up.

And he wanted 10 million for hatton and cotto which he didnt get. So it was just this

He played his cards right and became the man. he knew it but arum didnt.

In the grand scheme of things margo is irrelevant. You want to see it as he was afraid and priced him out cause its Floyd but I see it as he double downed on himself and came out a huge winner. He didn't fight another TR fighter until Pac and didn't get cotto until he left arum by then Margo was a known cheater

Not that hard for me to understand.

The $10 million dollar guarantee was better than the $8 million he was going to get (if he stayed with TR) fighting Margarito, and the $7 million for Cotto and Hatton! Another piece of history, which proves Floyd made the right move leaving TR:

May 2, 2012:

Dan Rafael of ESPN reports that Miguel Cotto will make a career-best $8 million purse on Saturday night against Floyd Mayweather Jr, plus upside money from the HBO pay-per-view sales.

Mayweather's purse total will be handed in on Thursday, but keep in mind that Mayweather makes far more than just his purse, as he gets a big cut of PPV money, plus as he's said before, basically a cut of everything sold during the event, from hot dogs and beer to t-shirts and hats. It's the Bruce Springsteen deal.

Manny Pacquiao absolutely makes more than his Nevada pay sheets read, as he's been guaranteed $20 million-plus for his recent fights, but it's a goofy piece of side note trivia that as far as I recall, Cotto's $8 million purse is actually higher than the Nevada commission purse figure Pacquiao has made in any fight to date.

Pacquiao had a $6 million purse against Mosley, and the same figure when he faced Juan Manuel Marquez. His guarantees for those fights were $20 and $22 million. Both Marquez and Mosley were paid $5 million for their fights with Manny, and Mosley was paid $7 million for his fight with Mayweather in 2010.

So this makes Cotto, not even counting the PPV upside, the highest-paid opponent for either fighter, besides Oscar De La Hoya, who was the A-side in his fights with Floyd and Manny.

Cotto made a $4 million purse when he fought Pacquiao in November 2009, and had a 35% share of the PPV pot.

you really lost track of things already? when did he accept the marg fight? he said i'll fight marg if... you give me 20 million for hoya as wel. that is pricing yourself out buddy because he gladly accepted 10 million a few months later. clear cut proof of him ducking.

[Fetta]

have you seen the floyd-marg video where he looks afraid when confronted? also mr money man turned down more moeny and fought sharmba and judah so it wasn't in the cards because floyd didn't want it to be in the cards. so yes he was both afraid and ducking. i have proof of both. you just refuse to see it/are pretending he didn't duck cause you like him.

Im not body language expert like you so it looks like a regular video to me.

Or he wanted more money for himself instead of Arum taking a big cut, which is why he left.
