Thread: baldi vs margarito on Dec.2nd...maybe?

¡Gestión unificatoria: Margarito-Baldomir!
Por Bernardo Pilatti y Miguel Angel Cebreros
Sorpresa o no la noticia se conoció a última hora de este miércoles. Francisco 'Pancho' Espinoza representante del campeón welter de la OMB, Antonio Margarito, confirmó que aumentan momento a momento las posibilidades de que el próximo rival de Margarito sea el campeón welter del CMB, el argentino Carlos Baldomir. 'Por estos días se manejaron muchos nombres como posibles rivales de Margarito en la velada del 2 de diciembre, pero hoy surgió la noticia de que la anunciada pelea entre Floyd Mayweather y Baldomir no se realizará por cuestiones de dinero. En ese caso Baldomir iría contra Margarito'- dijo Espinoza. De acuerdo con las declaraciones de Francisco Espinosa, el promotor del campeón (Bob Arum) habría sido el encargado de informarle sobre esa gestión. Las dificultades para que el pleito entre Mayweather y Baldomir se realice, pasan por los costos que insumirá al promotor del evento la realización de la pelea. Floyd exige más de cinco millones y Baldomir tres. 'Es difícil que algún promotor se anime teniendo en cuenta que la cartelera deberá financiarse exclusivamente con el pago por evento'- dijo Espinoza. Ese hecho, habría enfriado el entusiasmo y paralelamente abrió la puerta a la unificación de los titulos de Baldomir y Margarito. Espinoza no adelanto cifras sobre las bolsas de los dos peleadores en el posible combate del 2 de diciembre, pero si reconoció que sería la mayor bolsa hasta el momento, en la carrera de Margarito. En la misma velada del 2 de diciembre, en una pelea que no sería de título y en un peso intermedio entre las 140 y las 147 libras, el campeon mundial OMB de las 140, Miguel Cotto enfrentaría a un rival por definir. Tambien Espinoza reconoció que la presencia de Cotto en ese programa, teniendo en cuenta su inminente desembarco en la categoría welter, sería un preámbulo a un posible choque de Cotto, contra el ganador del duelo Margarito-Baldomir, aspecto que coloca un atractivo adicional a la cartelera del 2 de diciembre

i know its in spanish..... but its basically saying that it might be baldi vs tony.......tonys rep says that there are money issues between baldi and PBF...... it seems that baldi wants 3mill and pBF wants 5mill.....apparently the promoter does not feel confident that this fight between baldi and PBF will sell many PPV's....so now there is talks of unification between baldi and tony.....thats what it says im just translating...take it for what its worth.....

ohhhh and it would take place on dec.2nd w/ cotto on the undercard at 140 or 147 w/ an opponent to be named later.....hope someone can find an English version.....

Until Margarito steps up and beats a top guy, he just another fighter in the division . I hope this fight is made , there is a whole list of guys that would match up well with Margarito, lets see if Tony is willing to get in the mix , step up and become legit. He is receiving lots of praise for a fighter with 4 losses on his record. And opponents that are mid level at best.

for some reason i think baldi vs PBF will not come off. i dont know, maybe money now or money in the future (odlh) will keep this fight from happening......so baldi vs tony sounds good.....i think more then likely PBF will end up fighting mosley.IMO

I don't know bro, reading that DLH interview I got the distinct impression Oscar is waiting for Floyd to capture Baldomirs welterweight title so that his match with Floyd would be for a world championship.

plus he'd have to starve himself down to 147 to grab any WW title anyway, which i'm positive we will be unwilling and unable to do.

ERRR,I posted here like 6 times,where have they gone??!?!

Agreed...but then again...so is Baldomir & look what he's doing with what he's got!

I am by no means a fan of Margarito...but I'd love to see a fight between ole' Iron Chin Baldomir & Margarito then the winner against Floyd...better yet...I'd rather see Floyd Baldo with the winner to Margarito.

Now that is more of what I want to hear,some common sense. Margarito Baldo unification and then winner gets Floyd would make perfect sense. If Floyd was smarter,he would want that fight too as it would most likely occur on the Cotto card in December,imagine the exposure etc. Everyone would know who the champ was and Floyd would make his $$$> It's a shame Floyd isn't smart

Even better, Floyd-Hatton with the winner to the winner of Margarito-Baldomir.

I think Hatton may want another fight at Ww before taking on Floyd and I don't think it would be in his best interests to fight Margarito adn Baldo would be tough too.

I guess it's less the actual belts and more the fact that after beating Baldomir Floyd would have to be regarded as the man at 147 and so a fight at 154 with Floyd moving up would be more appetising. Nobody could accuse Floyd of not unifying a division if he beats both Zab and Baldomir, sorry but Margarito doesn't mean fuck all.

If he beats Floyd it's a disaster, if he loses, well he was just another Jeff Lacy and Floyd won't get much credit anyways.

Far better to fight and beat Baldomir for little risk, then fight De La Hoya on Cinco De Mayo day next year. Remember Oscar retires next year on May 18th, the day of Our Lord's Ascension into heaven.

Agreed--he doesn't belong at WW and his days are numbered if he stays there. I'd still like to see the Floyd fight because there's no size issue there, but I don't think it would be too close anyway. It would shut people up though.
