Why Does Mayweather Ducking Margarito Bother Mayweather Fans So MUCH?

[Kigali]

strawman alert! typical floyd straw man. he fought oscar instead of margarito! they ignore that floyd fougth sharmba for less while marg was #1. they ignore that floyd fought zab for less when marg was #1. they ignore that he fought unknown baldomir for less instead of marg for more with a mexican fanbase. they ignore that floyd retired and stayed retired while marg was on top. they create straw mans to try and excsue the ducking. as if there was only one point in time he could have fought the guy that was #1 for 4 out of 5 years while floyd was at ww. sad!

How was Baldomir unknown when he beat Judah and took all his belts??

You dumb piss drink moron

He refused to fight him because he wanted a more DANGEROUS fight with Oscar.

Oscar > Margarito

Floyd fought and beat Tony's owner....Shane Mosely.

Hey man he wanted a more dangerous fight yeah man whatever floats your boat, but uh,

Oscar was dangerous?...lmmfao

The statement told me all I need to know about you fam if you thought that version of Oscar was dangerous.

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...

8th post of this thread.

Completely refuting the premise of the OP.

Yet, here we are 4 pages in.

Some folks like to point to the youtube of 'Cheato "cornering" Floyd.

That is a completely fanboy characterization of what happened.

Floyd explained to Antonio that all he had to do is keep winning and not only would the fight happen but it would be bigger money for him.

Of course, 'Cheato went out and lost.

When these folks say Floyd ducked PlasterManos I wonder when exactly was he supposed to fight him?

What fight should Floyd have taken off his resume to fight Antonio instead?

Which fight would a Margarito fight be bigger money than, especially keeping in mind that Antonio was promoted by Arum, who Floyd really did not like dealing with at all and who would certainly seek to cut into what Floyd could earn fighting other more lucrative fights.

Fact is, Cheato was poised for a shot and got worked by PWill in '07.

Then, with rumours already out there that Floyd was coming back he definitely would have been in line if he beat Mosley in early '09.

He got mollywhopped by Sugar.

And while triangle theories are at best only half right, it is quite noteworthy that Shane's next fight (albeit with a 16 month layoff) was against Floyd.

There are only two fighters Floyd ducked when the fights were available and made financial sense.

Margs is not one of them.

Tony couldn't even hit Mosely

Floyd would have made Tony look like he was fighting underwater.

Loaded gloves don't improve accuracy....

You best believe Floyd's camp would have busted him just like Shane's camp busted him.

shoulda coulda but didnt.

the only time you see cotto fans working with floyd fans, when you bring up margarito. these 2 fan base been sour about marg lol.

[WesternChamp]

I just want to know what posters actually believe margarita would have beat floyd

i dont think anyone on here said that. the keyword you're looking for is, margarito would have given floyd problems. why is the floyd fans so insecure about this? nobody is saying marg would have beaten floyd. we're saying it would be a style night mare for floyd but you floyd fans is so insecure about this that yall started putting words in other peoples mouth lol.

sounds about right but I think this is why it bothers them so much that the guy they hold in the highest regard (mayweather) was afraid of this guy 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 ?
