They say that its not worth it with PBF having possible fights with Hatton, Cotto and DLH in the wings.

    So you tell me in what way is your argument on why Margito shouldnt fight Collazo different than the one just stated by many PBF proponents? Other than weight division

    Please enlighten me and give me that clue you asserted that I am in need of.
    Are you seriously comparing Floyd being guaranteed a minimum of $8 mil to fight Margarito to Margarito guaranteed nothing (probably a minimal, minute amount) to fight a guy who is known for losing to Hatton?

    What did Floyd have to gain by fighting Judah? He did that for the money, and because he wouldn't fight Baldomir for that small cut offered. You have nothing to gain fighting a guy coming off of a loss, who isn't a draw or anything.

    Floyd has EIGHT MILLION reasons to fight Margarito. "If it makes dollars, it makes sense." right? Isn't that what Floyd told us about the Judah fight? Well that was $5 mill. So what kind of sense must $8 mill make? LOL

    Margarito is regarded by everyone who knows boxing as the most dangerous welterweight right now. Floyd is being offered more money than he's ever made before to fight the most dangerous welterweight in the world.

      I personally feel that with 8million "with no promotional strings attached by Arum" is a great deal and should be taken. PBF will definitely lose my respect if he turns down this fight, unless he fights another big name instead, i.e. Cotto, Hatton, DLH, Mosley, Castillo.
      There is no irony. I mean, are you for real? Look up the term ironic and write the definition for me 500 times and then go sit in the corner.

      Collazo is coming off of a loss.

      Margarito is coming off of 3 destructive wins, has a world title, and has an $8 mill offer to Floyd on the table, and is regarded by most of the boxing world to be the most dangerous welterweight around.

      Where is the irony? Please explain.

        Ooh ok so i took it the wrong way. Yea i will also lose respect in Mayweather if he turns down this fight. 8 mil come on now. Floyd stay talking about money here it is. Unless he is willing to fight Hatton Cotto as you stated.

              Collazo has called him out twice, and Margarito has yet to mention his name.

                Bob Arum is the second most significant promoter in boxing, right behind Don King. If he feels like getting Margarito a fight with Floyd will result in big money for his promotional company after Margarito wins (I'm sure Arum feels Marg will win) then of course he will put up the 8 mill to make the fight happen.

                You don't seem to fully grasp just how rich Bob Arum is.

                  I think you're right. I think Arum is willing to roll the dice. He knows nothing pays off like having a Mexican star at the lighter weights. And if he has to dip in his pocket a little, then so be it. He thinks it's worth the risk.

                  My other feeling is that Arum, having had a promotional relaitionship with Floyd before, somehow knows that Floyd doesn't want to fight Margarito, and is spreading this offer over the net as a bluff, knowing that Floyd will not take it, in order to build Margarito's hype. Just a thought, may or may not be the case.

                    Read my earlier post. Then go back to the "Explain how Floy is not Dodging Mayweather" thread. Look at your first post on this thread and look at some of the post on those threads, seems similar arguements.

                    I think you took it too personal and dont want to accept that your initial arguemn. Once again I'm not argueing on why PBF should or shouldn't fight Margarito.
