Floyd is smart for not taking the Margarito fight--read the article

[Master]

I just had to answer this when I saw it.
The claim is Floyd was smart to not fight Margarito Yep he was because he would have gotten his punk ass KICKED!! It had nothing to do with Oscar Floyd was scared shitless of Margarito. He went ahead & fought Carlos Baldomir for far less $$ because he knew Baldy had no chance.

Knowing what we know now about Margarito loading his gloves we can say it would be a good thing if nobody had fought him.

What amazes me is that Floyd got out of his contract for under a million dollars. Why would Bob let him go so cheap?

I thought Floyd paid $8million to get out of it?

Here's the quote from the article:

"Mayweather's announcement the other day that he had bought his way out of his contract with promoter Bob Arum for three-quarters of a million caused a lot of raised eyebrows and "I told you sos.""

It seems crazy in hindsight, but Arum never saw Floyd as a big money draw.
