Floyd himself didnt think Margarito was a bum and must have saw him as some kind of a threat... he would have not have turned 8 mill if that was the case . Why not beat up on a bum and shut everyone up for an easy 8 million dollar payday .
Because he got more money fighting a champ for his belt and freedom from his promoter which he still dislikes today.. Did I win?
Of course not . . . haters like this guy doesn't understand he fought Baldy for more money and the belt to get to Oscar and away from Arum. Also, that they keep bringing up this 8mill offer but they seem to leave out the part where he has made more than that every fight since Arum tried to suck Floyd back into his ranks fighting his walking punching bag
pedjr is never after the money. money is the excuse. what is 1m? he can get 2x-3x the money had he rematched dela hoya, thats easily 15-20m more than his earnings in the first fight, yet he never bothered rematching dela hoya. he could have gotten upwards of 80m with the pac fight, we know what happened to the fight. PEDJR IS NEVER AFTER THE MONEY. THAT IS THE EXCUSE. THE GOAL IS TO PROTECT THE 0 AT ALL COST. so this bull**** about getting more money by not fighting margaritio is a lot of bull.:deal he could go on with the fight, got out of contract and still have fought dela hoya. pac fought cotto, clottey, margarito and still was able to fight dela hoya. so what's the problem?
deal:deal The man fought everybody. Anyone who thinks Shane Mosley ducked Duckweather is either a groupie with an agenda or doesnt know **** about the sport in the case of the *****s its both.
Every fighter ever has "ducked" every other fighter that they did not face on every single particular scheduled fight they ever had.
nah he is not after the money.,. he is also after the glory.. and he achieved all that by moving up and facing the star attraction in delahoya (something bob would not let him do)
Also Mayweather fought a Mosley who was Inactive for 14 months before the Mayweather bout. :deal Mayweather knows when to fight his opponents, he also admits that he has a great team that chooses his opponents and keep stealing the fans money. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zQL_1qcdXo
No you didnt . Carlos Baldomir November 4, 2006 $8 million It was exactly the same amount of money , Floyd just chose the lesser threat like he typically does .
Mosley needed an excuse so he used the dentist instead of saying "my boss Oscar wants to fight him". The contract for the Baldomir fight was actually $8,000,001. No doubt Mosley and Margarito would have been more interesting fights than the Baldomir one, but it is what it is.
Actually it was 8 million and 1 dollar just to stick a middle finger up at Mr. Bob.. You also conveniently left out the small detail about him wanting to leave Top Rank too.. Why do people think Marg is good only when they talk about Mayweather not fighting him?
