I dont understand Floyd's reasoning of fighting the guys he does.

    Look man the PPV did 19,000 buys so someone had to pay for the **** anyways cause the fans sure as **** didnt..That isnt even the point, you claimed that he had two weeks notice which was once again bull****, something that someone made up and the rest of you ran with. Not to mention he could have used a fill in fighter which is why every single fight comes with the "CARD IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE" warning on them.

    My gut says that if Margo really wanted the fight he would have took the fight..Just and Vitali Klit did when Lewis gave him a few weeks notice. He jumped at the fight, he lost and still gained a shitload in the fight. Margo didnt take the fight simply because he didnt really want the fight.. It was better for Margo to have people think that floyd was scared of him, after all before his win over Cotto that is what he was best known for...People claiming him to be the most feared man in boxing dispite the fact that he twice turned down a fight with Mosley, rejected the offer to fight Floyd and ran from Williams before getting forced into the fight. Then he once again tried to ran from Shane and only took the fight once Arum assured him that he would get a rematch with Cotto NO MATTER if he won or lost.

    Nothing the guy says can be taken seriously at this point. He's an act to sell tickets - whatever he thinks sells his next fight, he says or he just gets massively defensive, stutters over his words and says something dumb (MMA is a rascist conspiracy/no weight divisions are dominated by white fighters (which is NOT a racial statement), I won't fight Pac because he's not his own boss, etc., etc.).

    He fights to maximize his payday - even his most ardent fans have to admit that. Nothing wrong with that, all fighters do to some extent; I found it refreshing when he admitted it. But his record belies anything else.

    Subject to change is not the same as an all out cancel genius. Of course your gut says that. You'll believe ANYTHING from Floyd or for Floyd. If Floyd was serious at all, all he had to do was wait till the fight was done. Simple as that. Then they could promote it correctly and not RUSH to a fight. The difference between that and the Lewis - Klitshcko fight is BOTH were going to fight that day. Not rocket science. Get off this "Most feared Man" bull****... You fanboys seem to have bought into it more then anyone. It's just a line from a ****in promoter, just as a fighter claiming to be the best ever. :patsch Who gives a **** about if you think he ran then was forced into a Williams fight...he FOUGHT both him AND Cotto at least. AND Then he Shane. The top guys in the WW division. And Clottey. He's making the fights that matter...all you care about is a payday for Floyd.

    And what did Floyd say about the step aside money for JMM? See...posters like you think this is hating when it's merely challenging the **** you FMCB fanboys claim. Learn to tell the difference...

    All the talking and you are still avoiding what you were outed on. But i will touch on what your saying here...No matter the amount of excuses you make the fight was still offered and rejected. Time to promote??? 88 days isnt enough time to promote the fight??? Isnt that about how long they promoted JMM vs Mayweather??? Once again a lame ass excuse. Subject to change means that all Arum had to do is replace Margo with another fighter and the PPV could have gone ahead..That isnt rocket science...And no Klit and Lewis werent fighting on the same day they were fighting a few weeks apart. Lewis was set to fight on that date with VK fighting a few weeks later.

    Lastly I dont care who margo did fight, at the end of the day he had the chance to fight the guy that he had been claiming he wanted to fight and he turned it down, HE TURNED IT DOWN. HE TURNED IT DOWN...As Arum himself stated he later made the offer for floyd to fight Margo for 8 million that he himself said the fight was worth, in response to the fight with Oscar..With all the excuses you cats make doesnt that also work for Floyd??? Floyd offered Margo the fight he turned it down, Floyd then moved on to fight Oscar, a fight in which you picked Oscar.

    No I believe what is reported though varied sources, and I dont make **** up or change my stance to suit my points of view...My stance is just that, a stance. If I think that Berto is a good fighter then he is a good fighter no matter who he is fighting. That is what makes a hater. If I cant search your post and find you excuses or saying something is ok for one fighter then bashing another for the very thing, then yes I will label YOU a hater. You were amoung those poster that pretty said that no matter who Floyd fights it wont be good enough...Remember that THREAD???? Great article about floyds future fights: Shane is too old, Williams is weight drained, Cotto is shot, Pac is too small, Berto too Green...:hey

    Floyd just isn't the "I'll fight anybody " kind of guy. He calculates marketability and the opponents very carefully. If you get paid the same for fighting Baldomir that you would for Margarito , why not take the easier fight? If you can sell Marquez over Mosely , why would you risk a serious tussle?
    Of course when Floyd starts to brag and insist he's the best ever it rings kind of hollow. Great fighters of the past fought he best of the division. But apparently theres enough money generated by Floyds waltzs for pay, so he can arrogently denounce the outright challenges of Margarito and Mosely, and take on the smaller Hatton and Marquez instead.

    Because brain dead morons such as Farmboxer, bladerunner & buxzer (probably the same person), dont understand that boxing is a business. Even if you are the best, you dont have to fight the best, you will fight whoever brings the most to the table, and these days, that means the most popular fighter.

    The 3 knobs I named, seem to think that Floyd owes them a living and a more exiting career. I bet they have never bought a PPV in their lives.

    This is the fraud groupie mentality they get more excited hearing how much fraud gets paid even though they dont get any of it than seeing him fight the best.

    this is just one of the reasons why fraud has the worst fans in boxing.

    They say Mayweather "isn't going to wait" for the Cotto/Pacquiao winner, and he won't fight Mosley.

    I guess that leaves......... Who?.... **** this guy... He takes anybody but one of those three and I'm done with this POS.
