i provided a link to back up my statement, why not do the same instead of just typing ****..... floyd has always said cotto was too green, even during the whole bruseles thing
:good Thanks for that Pimp I'll wait.... Freddy, Capfunds or someone has to reply? so Cotto Fans:think
Freddy I didn't type this..... Arum said while Mayweather would have taken the $8 million to fight Margarito, he asked for a $10 million guarantee to fight opponents such as Miguel Cotto and Ricky Hatton, when Arum was only willing to guarantee $7 million. http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=2420382 :hi:
If he is so uninteresting then why is there a thread on him everyday!! Even when he has no plan of fighting anytime soon.. And the daily Floyd thread is created by people that hate him.... It sounds interesting to me! His abilities coupled with his mouth are fun and interesting to appreciate.. People like Freddy just so happen to tune in anytime Floyd is doing anything..Floyds on espn doing an interview, Floyds on WWE, Floyd said this to Larry King, Floyd said this about cotto on Good morning America... I always know what Floyd is doing because of the people that dislike him and their free promotion. That means he must be interesting.. And whether you watch his fights to see him win or loose you can't say that the hype up to the point of the fight is not fun.
exactly, that's a ****en cop-out....if your gonna fight, then fight...why is may trying to act like the promoter and give arum options, the man that made him who he is (aside from oscar)........why, because he wanted no part in a real threat to his perfect record..... come on man, read between the lines.... what you posted only makes may look even more like a chicken ****.... alot happened for floyd within that year, his big mouth got him a big payday and popularity, but in the ring, even arum his promoter knew that he wasn't a draw at all.....so anything that happened before the oscar fight was bull**** because everybody and their mommas knew that floyd would have to get under oscars skin to get him the fight.....his skills sure as hell weren't gonna get him there....cause even though they're there, they're boring as ****
Why fight margo for 8 then drop down to 7 to fight cotto and hatton... Shouldn't his pay guarantee increase after the Margo fight not decrease.... Man Blame Arum for that fight not happening.... Floyd got his 8 to fight the linear champ Baldo (which means more than beating your everyday alphabet champ Margarito) and then jumped to 20 in 6 months.... In fighting Baldo it was a win win... He got both the money and the more meaningful belts..
By the time he decides to finally fight Cotto he will be 33 years old and Cotto will be 29/30. Cotto will destroy him and Floyd fans will say "oh had the fight happened 3 years earlier Mayweather would have dominated"
But Freddy a promoters job is to make the fight happen! period..... Arum was stunting floyds progress! And was not doing his job.... Margarito 8, then fight cotto and hatton for 7... That is ass backwards....You know it.... Margarito was with top rank so Arum knew what he was doing.. He was trying to get paid on both ends... Floyd was not having it...
why did oscar make 50+ mill and now next month he's gonna fight for less then less then less of that :deal
because of the simple fact that floyd is known for that... look at the judah fight and then the baldo fight...floyds stock went down (fight and money wise) bigtime in the eyes of a promoter....can you blame arum for not wanting that risk..... ****, imagine if every fighter thought like floyd, WE WOULDN'T SEE THE GREAT FIGHTS THAT WE'VE SEEN...... i dont have a problem with floyds fans idolizing him, but why not admit that he's ****en wrong and full of ****.... 15k people for zab vs floyd, right..... not even 8k for floyd vs baldo.....people were ****en walking out for ****s sake man, get the big picture here...
How is that true? Floyd is my favorite boxer right now, and Cotto is probably my third. I see Cotto as a legitmate threat for Floyd along with Vernon Forrest at 154. The biggest fight I want to see is Mayweather-Cotto, so how are we generalizing that "Floyd fans" hate every boxer that poses a threat to Mayweather. What I do hate is the whole Margarito bull**** constantly being pushed by people like "Capfunds". Seriously, how many people view Margarito as some type of serious threat to Mayweather. Mayweather-Cotto is a better fight; Mayweather-Mosley is a tougher fight; Mayweather-DLH is a tougher fight; Mayweather-Williams is a tougher fight; Mayweather-Judah was a tougher fight; etc. I just dislike Margarito because his only claim to fame is people "supposedly" ducking him. Arum has done a great job managing and promoting him though.
They put and I put that the Baldo fight was his worst showing both numbers wise and fight wise... 325k pay per view buys... His next fight Record breaking.... Ok lets say because of DLH but it was just as much tied to who DLH was fighting...his previous fight did 925k which was large... But his fight with mayweather blew that out of the box.. look it up for Zab vs. PBF was in front of a sell out crowd... And I will admit the fight against Baldomir was boo boo ****!!!!! But stop with the bull**** already if you don't like him that is cool.. But don't try to make sense as to why you don't like him by using his resume... Because you know his resume is good... Better than most at least.. You talk like your putting him on the level of Jermain Taylor...
