    "Judah's International Boxing Federation and World Boxing Association belts were not on the line because Baldomir (42-9-6, 12 knockouts) did not pay sanctioning fees to the I.B.F. and W.B.A."

    ""My purse was only $100,000," Baldomir told The Associated Press yesterday. "If I paid each of them the required 3 percent, I would have come away with nothing."

      As is nickname says, it’s all about the money, least risk vs highest reward
      Hatton, de la Hoya, Mosley, Judah, cotto, canelo, Maidana, Pacquiao, corralles were low risk fights? Low risk of what?

        Good question in regards to Floyd barely unifying..(or fighting the best at their best).
        I guess it's all the same reason he is fighting a Youtuber, he is a lil ***** who is scared of losing, so cherrypicked in his career.

          Baldo, Judah and Floyd were all scared of Margarito.

              Just stating the facts.

              Baldomir was garbage but he was the Lineal Champion at WW in 2006.

              Not Margarito.

              Again, that’s a fact.

                Floyds entire record is null and void because of steroid abuse.

                  Calling someone "lineal" Isn't even a thing, let alone a fact.

                  I'm sure in your mind Judah and Baldo would have wiped the floor with Margarito.

                    Erm, yes it is Are you not aware of that the Lineal Champion is?

                    Baldomir was the champion in 2006, not Margarito. That’s a fact mate, I’m sorry.

                    Both Judah and Baldomir would have been destroyed by Margarito but that doesn’t change the fact that Judah was the Champion and then Baldomir was the Champion at that time.

                      Because Floyd didn't care about legacy as much as he cared about money, which makes sense, but then you don't get to be "TBE".

                      It's the same reason he never fought outside of America or even outside of Las Vegas for over a decade.

                      He made the fights that he needed to make to make the most amount of money with the least risk for that money.
