    We all know you're a card-carrying Mayweather nuthugger, so just save us the propaganda. Thanks!
    Nice cover up.
    You were wrong.

      So the answer is- nothing Margarito does will earn him a shot at Mayweather, because Mayweather will poke holes in any fighter's resume if he doesn't want to fight him (which can be done to any fighter, including Floyd), and yet he'll artificially boost their resume and brag on them if he wants the fight (See Judah and Mitchell, coming off of losses). Floyd fans fail to realize that THIS is the kind of stuff that makes fans dislike the guy, this type of constant BS, patting himself on the back, nobody is good enough to fight him if he doesn't want to fight them, and if he wants to fight them, then they can come in off of a huge loss and they're worthy. Floyd is a phenomenal athlete and talent, but he's about as bright as a fence post. Every time he opens his mouth to speak, he loses a couple of fans... he's just a generally unlikable person.

      As for the whole Williams-Margarito thing. Margarito will beat Williams. If the fight is signed, see me for bets, I'll bet whatever billions I have at the time on that fight. And then, predictably, the Margarito haters will say "Big deal, he beat a prospect." LOL That's a guaran-****ing-tee.
      The reality is you have absolutly no idea what your talking about.
      Thanks anyways, though.

          He's making less than the guaranteed $8 mil, but he may make more than that depending on how well the PPV does. Goosen kept dancing around the issue and would never say that he guaranteed Floyd $8 M. As Arum said, sooner or later the contract has to be filed with the commission and then we'll know exactly what he signed for. But remember, Arum's offer as he stated it guaranteed Floyd $8M with an upside as well, and no strings attached.

          Floyd took less to fight Baldomir, but hey, that's not a big deal. It's where he goes from THERE which will be the issue, because Arum is still going to be all over him for a Margarito fight after Nov. And I'm guessing that's still going to be the biggest offer to Floyd, and that he's still going to have no interest in it.

            It aint just the $$$, it's about the win-win, getting paid well is good n all, but its better if the fighter actually is a proven fighter with significant wins. Bottom line is that Baldomir has fought 2 legit champs in real championship fights this year, which is more than Margarito or Williams can say for their whole career.

            Everyone wanted him to fight Zab over Baldomir, they thought Baldomir was a fluke!!! He fought Sharmba to prepare for Zab before Zab even lost. How come any other fighter can take tuneups in a new weight, but Floyd can't. How come other fighters dont give rematches in close fights and move down in weight, how come other fighters been at a certain weight for years, but somebody can come into their weight class and accomplish more than them in their 1st year at the new weight? the man cant fight everybody who wants to challenge him, he is in a position to fight who he wants and i have no problem with him fighting the undisputed linear champ!!!

              Uh, with what exactly? Try making a point, instead of just rattling off a totally vacuous statement.

              Did Floyd not totally do a 180 once Judah lost? Floyd was trashing Judah all over the place, every week, and once Judah lost to Baldomir, all he did was apologize for the guy and try to hype him up, why? Because he wanted to fight him, even though he just lost to Baldomir. Did losing a fight to a virtual unknown with 9 losses make Judah worthy of a shot at Floyd?

              If I have no idea what I'm talking about, then tell me that didn't happen. Go ahead.

              Oh... LOL. Thanks, anyway.

                lets say tony beats williams or spinks, how much more than $8 mil will the fight make floyd then? not much more... how many fighters can generate that kind of money in boxing, very few... to say that floyd is waiting to fight tony to make more money is crazy...

                  I could of swore than his advisor said that 8M and 1 was in the contract, but u right we shall see. We dont know if he took less or not because as far as I can remember Arum's offer was never filed with the commission. So we dont know if Arum's offer is evrything he say it is, Margarito needs to get a worthy opponent for Dec. and another worthy fight and he might fight him in the fall of next year if he lucky.

                    truthfully, a margo fight might not never be able to generate more $$$, the $$$ wasn't the problem, the guy has no significant wins, thats the problem!!!
