    People will not buy Baldy's fights, because he is just not exciting due to his lack of power or supreme skill. He throws a decent amount of shots, but still not a lot.

    Any fighter that is Mexican and has power and throws nonstop like Marg does is just more popular, end of story. The casual fans who saw Bald-Gatti don't make up for the enormous amount of Mexicans out there. The 'casual fan' hardly even exists anyway. Casual fans give a **** about two guys...DLH and Tyson. Hardcore boxing fans make up the real deal.

      Baldomir has not even had a chance to prove his popularity.

      As for casual fans, they don't mean anything hardly. There aren't even enough of them...and the ones that do exist damn sure don't know much about Baldomir. And until Baldy fights on PPV again, no one willknow if he grabbed any of Gatti's fans.

      So until then, in terms of who is more-liked (popularity)... Margarito>Baldomir.
      I agree that Margarito hasnt got a chance to prove it and thats why I said that right now it is Baldy because of the 2 guys he's beaten. Zab has more fans then you think and he is definatly know in NY, he's had big fights in Vegas & Stl, and he's in alot of videos. We all know what Gatti is.

      Margarito has the Mexicans and thats big but ****ing Baldy looks half Mexican his ownself and alot of them love him too. You say Margarito is growing in Mexicon but everyone said that Baldy is a God in Argentina just like Pac is in the Philipines.

      You say the Casual fans dont count but if you want to have good PPV numbers then you have to pull in the Casual fans.

      Margarito is a big KO guy but you guys act like Baldy isnt excinting. He may not have the power but he still comes forward all fight, throws mad punches, and has a rock chin.

      I will say this. If Margarito want Mexican then this wouldnt even be close. How can you guys just ignore the factor of people seeing you? Baldy just had 2 big fights on 2 networks while Margario is hardly ever on big shows and when he is he is fighting bums or on Undercards

        Having a big fan base and being a bigger draw are two different things.

        After Baldi's suprising victories against Zab and Gatti then he should be a bigger draw. Undeniably the guy has caught a lot of attention and boxing afficionados would be very much interested to see him in action against other named opponents like PBF. AND take note these people who are interested to see Baldo in action doesn't necessarily means they his fans, it's just out of curiosity. They want to see more of the man.

          Im sick of you ****ing acting like a ***** all the time. All you do is ***** and act like no one can say anything.

          Your bitching now about what Im saying and that **** hasnt even crossed my mind. I honestly wasnt dissing Margarito or thinking about dissing him at all. I was just saying the reason why I think Baldy is a bigger draw or is more known.

          Your a clown. No one can talk about anything without you Bitchin. What, am I not supposed to bring that part up when Im trying to prove my point? Thats my #1 point on why he's bigger and that would be anyone's point on why Baldy maybe bigger, even if there Margarito fans.

          Chill the **** out with that ****

            Thats what Im trying to say and they act like they dont get it. Margarito may have the big Mexican thing but a person who isnt Mexican wont know him at all. They wouldnt know Baldy either but now alot of them do because of what he just did and what Channles they were on.

            For instance of Baldy fought Floyd then alot more people would know of Baldy then Margarito but if Margaito gets the Floyd fight then alot more people would probally know him. After the Floyd fight Baldy will definatly be the bigger name but no one will want to see him once he gets his ass kicked

                    You kind of brought it on yourself with your constant dissing of Margarito.

                    Margarito has faced a few good fighters, and has tried plenty to get bigger names to fight him to no avail. You have tried unreasonably to shift the blame to Margarito, just because guys like Ishe Smith and Paul Williams called him out...as if that means jack ****. Anytime someone calls out Tony, you are the 1st one to make a thread about it and act as if Marg is scared when there is no evidence to support you at all. We don't even know WHO Marg is fighting next.

                    It's very convenient that everyone wants to fight him NOW that he offered Floyd $8 million. If anyone but Floyd thinks they are getting $8 million to fith Margarito they are kidding themselves and the boxing world.

                    But, I read my post and the tone is definitely rude. I did cross the line. But you can take, you are a big boy. Just get serious about Margarito...a good, not great fighter who is getting pissed on all to much by you lately.

                      It wasn't even on HBO or Showtime, that's why. Obviously he would have done more on a PPV on HBO. One day maybe both Marg and Bald will have had fights on HBO PPV as headliners and then we can compare them.

                      Til then...
