Is Floyd making 8million for the Spinks fight?

[Bozo_no no]

you act as if fighting margarito would have prevented hi from fighting dlh later, or somehow lessened his purse tomake the sum less, but it wouldn't, it would just mean he would make even more. that is unless you doubt he can get past margarito, which would bt the only scenario in which it would make him less money.

and yes i am concerned with his decision, im hoping for a baldomir fight, if not collazo if not williams, if not clottey (least of all), and i think he'll make one of those.

It's a much safer fight to be taking Spinks, who at the same time, has the better resume. Margarito would be a tougher fight, and could potentially jepoardize a bigger payday. In this case he's only taking a few million less to fight Spinks, where he'll make many Million more to fight Oscar.

I just said that, and it's a fairly simple concept to grasp.

Once again, during that time Margarito could fight Baldomir to become 'the' Champion at 147 which would make him a much more deirable opponent.

Yes it is a very simple concept to grasp. so is this, hypothetically speaking, lets say PBF was to make 20 million if he ever fought DLH.

so fighting margarito the sum would be 28 million, fighting spinks it would be about 24 million.
which one makes more dollars, which one makes more sense? Margarito, but of course he didnt chose that one. Also according to floyd margarito would be easy work, and just wait and see how he's gonna praise Spinks, why not take the fight he considers a walk in the park?

and going with the safer fight is ducking a fighter.

and i agree with you that, because floyd will move on to bigger better things once he easily deals with spinks, no one will talk about this. But at the same time we're in the present, we don't cant speak for tomorrow, only for today.

and you have no idea how bad i would like to see margarito versus baldomir.

Nope, you're still not getting it.

Margarito does pose more of a threat than Spinks. Yet Spinks has the better resume, and has a title at 154.

Taking the easier match up puts the career payday with Oscar in very little Jeopardy. He gets a few Million less vs Spinks, but virtually gaurentees the huge pay day vs Oscar.

And 'if' Margarito starts to build a deccent resume from here on out, that fight is still available at a later date at the same payday if not more.

i fully understand what you are saying and we are not very far apart on how we see things, but the difference is that you are fine with him taking the easier fight while im critical of it.

i just rather see a competitive fight, and i dont think spinks can do that. i understand the opportunity he presents for floyd but i'm a fan of the sport who wants to see a good fight more than i want to see one man fatten his pockets and succeed. it's true, because i know margarito could very well lose to Mayweather and would probably beat baldomir for about the same money, but the excitement and anticipation just won't be there. And that excitement and anticipation, almost nervousness, i get before a big fight is what makes me love boxing. Not the fact that boxers are making a lot of money and being smart enough to make more.

It's fine that you'd rater see that fight, but it doesn't really paint Floyd in a poor light to be fighting a guy with a better resume in a safer fight when a career payday is looming.

yeah but if Floyd fights Margarito instead of Stinks , we wont get to see Stinks do another famous ring walk with another crappy rapper...and I think this what your friend is more interested in. Not a decent fight but a show with "household" names..

you are just simply missing the point..

the fact remains that mayweather wasn't worried about resumes when he fought Brusseles or Ndou, he wasn't even worried when he fought judah because judah was fresh of off a loss to baldomir. First he was tossing around that if it makes money it makes sense crap, then the money is on the table, and now he's about his legacy. don't buy that, if he really cared about his legacy he would care that the media, and the fans have all turned on him, and if you don't care what the fans think then why is your legacy important? he just contradicted himself in this scenario and ended up opting for a guy who style wise will offer little resistance, instead of a true challenge that the fans and media want.

he fought Bruseles and Ndou when? I beleive he wasnt P4P #1 then. U cant keep doing what u always did, u got to strive for better and that means fighting fighters that have actually fought somebody significant. No matter what u say or how u want to spin it, Margarito did not have that!!! Judah had that and he had some success in those fights too. And not all fans of boxing want him to fight Margarito, most fans just want to see him fight, and I want to see him fight Mosley, Delahoya, and wright. If he does that, Im good and I'll be glad I got to witness one of the greats.

[cortdawg25]

He will make around 3-4 million, I hope next year he will fight Tony and end all his hype.

Nope, itll prolly be more around 6-7 M. A lot of people do want to see this fight, it might just make a tad more than the Judah fight.

[cortdawg25]

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.

Beaten the top ten in the WBO, I think they Gomez in the top ten for christ sakes..

damn you're dumb..

coming from the guy with Margo in his avatar , come on your just a groupie who jumped on the bandwagon like the f a g g o t you always have been
