It's pretty much guaranteed to not happen at this point. Arum has said the 8M offer is off the table for Mayweather to fight Margarito at this point. Mayweather never said jack **** about the fight, and Margarito is planning on fighting on December 2nd on Showtime. So what does everyone think? Mayweather turned down 8 million, more than he's ever made in any fight, to NOT fight Margarito. If Mayweather doesn't fight somebody for 8 million or more, do we officially say he ducked Margarito? If he fights Baldomir for less money or Spinks for less money, did he duck Margarito? Thoughts please.

are they fighting? does Mayweather even have an opponent yet?

there is your answer

No, but Margarito has moved on apparently, which means Floyd probably told his camp no.

Mayweather is finding out that he doesnt have "STAR" power like Goldie.
He cant just pick someone like Mosley or Dela and expect them to jump at the chance to fight him.

everyone wanted a chance to fight ODH

floyd's options for this year are now spinks and baldomir. if he fights either of them for less than the 8million plus 10% of the ppv revenue that he was offered then yes he was ducking him. he probably thinks he can beat margarito, but realzies that the risks of getting his ass whooped and possibly loosing are greater than fighting anyone else, including oscar and mosley.

floyd made more than 8 million in his last fight

the whole "8" million schnitck is a phony floyd made 9 million in beating up judah since hbo guaranteed 5 million and pbf was guaranteed 25% of the ppv that equals 9.5 million so the whole 8 million crap is just that crap. arum wants to make out gangbusta and pbf was his lat hope.

nice try at spinning the topic, the FACT is Arum offered 8 million, gay boy turned it down

Floyd is obviously not afraid of Tony.
Is he ducking him??
Those are two very different questions.
