Is Floyd making 8million for the Spinks fight?

[adrsan84]

I think you're over estimating Margarito and under estimating Spinks.

It isn't like Margarito has accomplished anything so grand to force the fight. The only factor here was the money Arum threw out that no one can confirm.

Corey just won a strap at 154 agaisnt the top rated fighter there. Margarito failed twice to lift a strap from a meidocre 154 title holder.

Spinks gets him at 154 with a strap prior to a show down with Oscar.

If Tony was smart, he'd pick up a few big wins and force the issue so that this fight can still take place. Nothing's to say it can't.

But predicting that opting a safer rout towards a mega payday like a delahoya fight is ducking a guy who's career win is Kermit Cintron doesn't fly.

All the huffing and puffing isn't going to write history. What happens from here on in -in the ring- will.

you have a valid point, but what information do you guys have that don't and that mayweather didnt reveal (to calm all the criticism he has gotten) which proves that arum's offer isn't legit.
Also margarito did not lose twice to santos, the first time it was a no contest, which doesn't constitute failure on his part, and the second time he lost a contraversial decision in santos' hometown outweighed by about 15 pounds on fight night.

if the offer is legit, which to the best of my knowledge it is, and nothing has shown otherwise, while reports have confirmed it on several occasions, and mayweather lives by his if it makes dollars it makes sense then that's the issue.

yes he will pick up a belt from spinks, but he just vacated the ibf belt to make a more valuable and demanded fight, why move up and get another one at 154 when your being offered good money at 147?
too many contradictions from mayweather, im not saying he's scared of margarito, but he sure as hell knows he could well lose and and rather not risk it, that's what i call ducking.

in my eyes Margarito still a journeyman.

Then you need to get them checked. Margarito's been at welterweight for a long time and has beaten guy's in the top 10.

I think the emphasis is on Arum to prove the validity of that offer. Once again, Gatti and Floyd, a MUCH bigger fight, saw the fighters split 7 Million between them. Yet Floyd is going to take 8 to himself in a much smaller fight vs Margarito?

Either way, that's beside the point, and it's easy to see why that's the point you dwelled on.

There aren't any contradictions.

The point about Margarito failing twice to win a strap at 154 speaks for itself. You're trying to take away from Spinks, yet he went in and lifted a strap from the top rated fighter there.

Once again: Margarito has not beat anyone making him such a large figure. The only issue was the money his promoter was offering. Spinks' resume is on par if not better, and when you add the position it puts Floyd in to set up the big payday with Oscar, it's easy to see.

You and others like you are trying to put any negative spin on this you can.

The bottom line is that Margarito's career win is over Kermit Cintron, and if he moves on and builds on that, he can force this fight and others like it in the future.

When Mayweather beats Spinks and Oscar, no one's going to remember about all the crying and complianing going on over the last few months.

how is the 8 million besides the point when floyd talked all that time about being all about the money?

Once again, a no contest is not a failure. it's as if the fight never happend, a quick butt early in the fight ended it, and the second fight is very disputable.

but i agree, once floyd moves on to fight mosley and DLH this will be forgotten, but that doesn't take away from the fact that most people agree, that margarito matches up a lot better with floyd. both at the stand point of competition, and of entertainment for the fan.

issue was he was ranked #1 at welter below the "ring" champ.... now #2 because Floyd beat Zab and is ranked #1 now.So the #2 called out the #1 at welter..gee makes sense to me...the 8 mil was more than enough money. THE FIGHT MADE SENSE..but instead gayweather wants STINKS AKA PILLOW HANDS GOT LIKE 3 KO'S
