Much like floyd turnin down 8 million to fight tony, innocent til proven guilty man.
Margarito was never Mayweather's mandatory. He was never obligated to fight Margarito like Margarito is to fight Williams. It would be different if Mayweather would of agreed to fight Margarito and than all of a sudden back out of his word and ran to fight a lesser fighter like certain fighters do.
