Or actually it must be that its good boxing business to turn down $8 million to fight a nobody in order to fight, Judah or Baldomir for $3 to $5 million.
Anybody know what he make to fight Spinks? No way will it be $8 million.
The sadder thing is that Margarito isn't making 8 million to fight Clottey either.
I love Margarito, but I'm starting to really dislike Arum, he can make bigger fights happen if he focused on more then Floyd but he seems obsessed that the only big fight he'd let Tony get or that he'd work to get is a fight with Floyd. Why cant he let Margarito build a legacy off of fighting everyone else instead of wanting to put one name on his record and call it a legacy, it didn't work with Rahman and it didn't work with Tarver. Arum needs to stop messing around and let Tony fight the up and comers and good fighters instead of focusing only on PBF.
Unfortunately, only Mayweather or Oscar can draw eneough for Arum to offer 8 million. Arum offered Winky more than he has ever made and tried his best to get Judah,
Mosley, and Quintana, to fight Margarito.
WTF???
there is absolutely NO TRUTH to this statement (as far as the bob arum doing his best to make those fights happen)
sad that you have resorted to lying
Now your just spewing air cause Its old news and announcers, writers and fans have given the list of fighters who have backed down from Margarito.
Juda and Mayweather backing down is very old news

Quintana has made excuses:

According to Margarito himself:
The Dog Pound Chat's with the WBO Welterweight Champion Antonio Margarito
Futurechamp: With such a devastating win over Cintron, do you think that has left you in a better or worse spot, in relation to future match ups?
Antonio Margarito: This is a good question, one that my management and I have been discussing since our victory over Cintron. Going into the Cintron fight we were constantly being reminded by our Promoter (Top Rank), and the media of how important a victory over Cintron was. This was the fight that would open doors. This was the fight that would put my name on the most wanted list. I remember watching my promoter (Todd duBoef) walking back and forth from my dressing room to wherever else he was going, constantly glancing at us and his watch, not knowing if he should stay or go. I'll tell you this, I've never seen this type of reaction from Todd since I've been with Top Rank, but when I saw this, I told myself there was no way I would let my promoter, family, fans, and team down. I told Todd "don't worry" and showed him my fist, and he smiled. He probably did not understand my English. We went into the fight well prepared with a well planned out game plan that was executed, but I believe it worked against me since it was easily executed. Zab Judah was yapping on how he would fight the winner between Cintron and myself, but when he was asked if he would fight me after his victory over Rivera I noticed there was uncertainty in his answer. As of this point, Mayweather, Judah, De La Hoya, Mayorga, Mosley, Vargas, or Cotto do not want to fight me. I really believe the outcome of my fight with Cintron plays a big part as to why these guys won't fight me. I have no control over this, I get in the ring and do my job. It's up to these guys if they want to continue making excuses for not fighting me, but sooner or later they'll have to run out excuses and face me.
