Why Does Mayweather Ducking Margarito Bother Mayweather Fans So MUCH?

[Elroy The Great]

are we talking about margarito or Ortiz?, or Guerrero, or Maidana, or Berto, or Baldomir, or Judah...

according to margies fans, he was the beast of all beasts that ever fought at ww. that kinda greatness should have had at least one headlining gig.

but alas, the baddest man that ever fought at ww was just a mere opponent as those you mentioned, only with less notoriety.

I like Margs more than Mayweather, but I don't see much argument for Mayweather ducking him. Tony would have looked horrible against May. The styles were all wrong. Margs does exactly what May wants an opponent to do; plant his feet, load up on punches, not move his head or protect his body, not work off the back foot.

A WBO scalp?

Nah

Floyd would get scalped by the media for not fighting Baldomir.

Brian Kenny said Floyd was going to duck Baldomir.

Floyd swerved Johnston

You mean lil Stevie?

C'mon now

Baldomir, you ****tin' me?

In what world is Baldomir a bigger fight than Margarito?

Peterson could miraculously beat Thurman and have the belts at WW, but would fighting Peterson be a bigger fight than fighting Brook or Pacquiao? **** no.

You boy Mikey ducked Gamboa

"Talk to my promoter"

Like Mikey was afraid of Gamboa and ducked him.

im thinking thats what margie fans have created to deal with why he never got his chance with may. i always say, if margie was so great, he should have had ww locked up. made sure all roads go through him. that was never the case and there was no conspiracy to lock him out.

tell me, if he wasnt mexican , would you still be a fan of his ?

yeah im a fan of rosado aswell. Your theory/statment you just made will make sense if it wasnt floyd fans making margarito threads all the time. Its floyd fans that it bothers not margarito fans, its nothing tome being a margarito fan to say Mayweather was the better fighter and blah blah blah i have no personally feelings invested. I dont make margarito threads, I dont make mayweather threads and like the poster above who tried to clown about mikey ducking gamboa, I dont make gamboa threads either, lol. ITS DOESNT BOTHER ME! I ask why does it bother mayweather fans and all you do is try to flip it.

Why does it bother Mayweather fans that Mayweather ducked Margarito. Say he ducked him and so what he made the right choice, I only real boxing fan/poster here said that in this entire thread lol the rest of you guys a fucking groupies fuckboys who cant keep it real for shit.

we ARE being real. YOUR crew is failing to accept it. there was no reason to duck margie. there was reason to not fight him due to PROMOTIONAL static.

how in the fnck is may gonna all of a sudden get scared of a predictable as fnck guy like margie but brave enough to fight BIGGER GUYS who would kill margie ?!?!?!? go on. tell how great margie was above ww.

ill ask again (most of my questions are too tough to answer the 1st few times i ask)....

if margie was not mexican, would you be a fan of his ?

Because Mayweather never ducked Margarito.

He went to his promoter at the time, Arum, and asked for 3 fights in addition to 'Cheato:


The reason Mayweather opted for the buyout rather than waiting for the May 6 result was because the contract had a limited window for the buyout, one that expired before the De La Hoya fight. However, Arum said he would have extended the window if Mayweather had asked. What Arum wouldn't do, he said, was raise the guarantees for other fights outlined in the contract.

Arum said while Mayweather would have taken the $8 million to fight Margarito, he asked for a $10 million guarantee to fight opponents such as Miguel Cotto and Ricky Hatton, when Arum was only willing to guarantee $7 million.

Arum said Mayweather also asked for $20 million to fight De La Hoya, a fight Arum said he wasn't interested in participating in.

"That's not in the cards," Arum said. "He wants $20 million for the De La Hoya fight? It's not there. Sometimes, my man, you gotta know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em. We'll talk about things down the road."

Only the ignorant, or fanboy haters continue to say Mayweather ducked Margarito...

Actually this is one of many articles that points to Floyd DUCKING Margarito!


Margarito was next in line to fight Floyd. So what does Floyd do? He says that he will fight Margarito if all the stars align!!! That's not a DUCK? YOU BET IT IS!!!!!


Remember when Canelo wanted a guarantee to fight Floyd if he fights and beats Trout as part of Floyd's undercard? Floyd said that is not the way it works. Floyd's fans agreed.
Floyd and his fans said: Canelo needs to think of one fight at a time and beat Trout before that fight between Floyd and Canelo can even be discussed.


Also, Floyd asked for sums of money where he knew that Arum couldn't guarantee at that point in time. What if Floyd had lost to Margarito? Arum would have to pay Floyd all those guarantees?


Furthermore, Arum had Margarito wait it out because he was hoping that Floyd would take the Margarito fight. Floyd then DUCKED Margarito and fought the no-name Baldomir.

Floyd even paid Arum not to fight Margarito ... DUCK DUCK, QUACK QUACK!!!


Here you go:
" In 2006, Floyd was set to fight Antonio Margarito and was going to make a cool $8,000,000 for the bout. Instead, Floyd decided to put a $750,000 bet on himself by exercising a provision in his contract."

"Floyd Mayweather Jr. rejected promoter Bob Arum's $8 million offer to fight welterweight titlist Antonio Margarito, and he instead exercised a provision in his contract to buy Arum out for $750,000"



Ellerbe said Mayweather opted for the buyout so he could be "more in control of when and who he fights next. It's as simple as that. There is nothing bad between Floyd and Bob."


So Floyd didn't want to fight Margarito next!!!

C'mon y'all. I DESPISE Mayweather, think hes a poor excuse for a human being and a serial woman-beater.

But he would have schooled Margo with ease. Money could land a 3 punch combo while Margo was still ****ing back for one punch. Exagerration, but you get the picture

[Elroy The Great]

''damn. i ducked margie for so long, what is my best next move.....FIGHT THE GUY WHO DESTROYED HIM !!!!!''

The blinders some folks put on to try and justify a weak take is astonishing.

You have a quote from Arum, his promoter at the time, which clearly proves Floyd wanted to fight 'Cheato.

And how convenient of you to say "one fight at a time" when it was a multifight contract on the table at the time.

But, that would fugg up your argument so you ignore that.

But, I'll humor you and play along with your Down's syndrome logic...my bad, that is actually an insult to folks with Down's symdrome as the ones I have met are light years more intelligent than this take.

Let's look at the names in question. Instead of Margarito, he fought Baldomir for 1 dollar more AND a lineal title.

He then fought Oscar and got 25M, 5M MORE than he asked of Arum. He also got 25M for Hatton.

So, lets recap:

Arum offered:

8M for Cheato
14 M (7M each for Hatton and Cotto)
Total = 22M for three fights

Floyd did the buy out and got:

8M for Baldomir
25M for DLH
25M for Hatton
Total = 58M for 3 fights


22M vs 58M...

And ******s on here continue to insist it was about ducking.


BWAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

BWAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

1) We are talking about DUCKING not about money!!!

2) Even then, Floyd did not have anything guaranteed at the time with anyone!!! Or do you know something that we do not know?

3) Maybe you were NOT around but a similar situation happened with Canelo. That is just 1 fight, 1 guarantee to get Canelo on his undercard.
What did Floyd say? That is not the way it works. Floyd said that Canelo needs to think about the guy that is in front of him. Floyd also said he will not because his entire focus was on his next fight .... Guerrero!!!

Floyd fans all agreed and made Canelo look ****** for saying that.


Well, his next fight in line was against Margarito. Yet
to fight Margarito, Floyd wanted the stars to align!!!

The question is why not fight Margarito then part ways? BECAUSE FLOYD DUCKED MARGARITO!!!!
