Margarito video, why I think he would lose...

[El Gamo]

The game, you do know alot of a boxers money also comes from PPV RIGHT? That 5 million for fighting Judah didn't include revenue generated from PPV, and the fact is that alot of people bought that fight... About 10 times as many as would pay to see Floyd beat Margarito. PLus Floyd gained alot more recognition in beating Zab because people know who he was... Remember it doesn't matter to a boxer how much the fans know about boxing, "casual" fans pay the same amount to watch the fight as we do, and what difference does that make to Floyd. Im just saying that I guarentee Floyd made alot more money fighting Zab then he would Margarito. That's the reason Arum is trying to go out on a limb and offer Floyd such a high purse, because it probably won't sell many PPVS. And Arum knows that, in fact I would be surprised if he didn't lose money, should the fight happen. Margarito does not bring 8 million dollar purses just yet.

I also checked out how Zab and Floyd did on buys so yep...I do know and nope,it did not amount to $8million for Floyd,the man who was analysing said it did ok and compared it to other fights. I agree Margarito would not be as popular a fight yet.... firstly as soon as Oscar mentions someone as a good fighter,their profile is raised,people were wondering who is this Margarito he speaks of,second,you have alllll the Mexicans/latinos that would come out to support their man ESPECIALLY in a big fight,I mean Jesus Chavez is nowhere near as popular as he was in the PBF fight and finally I agree Arum knows he will lose out but come on,this guy is smart,he knows that Margarito is an exciting fighter and when he gets the exposure,Arum will be the one making more money. Tony has an exciting style and Bob knows it will make him money,why do you think he did not mind losing out abit on the PBF fight....See what I mean?

It's absurd you're allowed to choose who you fight

Especially someone like Floyd who isn't a huge crowd pleaser, walking around demanding millions when alot of people have no idea who he is. But everyone knows Gatti - even though PBF slaughtered him

If an athlete is gonna get paid millions he better be exciting, never playing it safe putting everything on the line. I'm a huge fan of Floyd's talent but bottom line, he does NOTHING but play it safe, with the fights he chooses and his style of fighting. People like Gatti, Ward, Castilo, Corrales, Barerra, Pac, Morales...These guys are gonna suffer later on in life because they entertained us. They put themselves on the line everytime and deserve those millions( even if MAB and Morales are F****** pricks )

You can say he's a smart fighter for never taking chances, and you're right. But it doesn't change the fact he's not earning his millions. And I'm not saying you have to go in there and take punishment to earn that money, just be a man and give it all you got.

I like where you are coming from and you are DAM RIGHT,Floyd has never been the main attraction in his fights. Even in the Zab fight,it was not the fight itself but more the image surrounding the fight which got the attention and right again....like I have been saying,Floyd is trying to make millions by taking the easiest options available.CC. bro,good points.

MARGARITO WOULD NEVER BEAT FLOYD.

Margarito's style will be picked apart by Mayweather. Throwing more punches just means you get tired quicker. You need to be a counter puncher to beat Floyd, and Margarito isn't. He's an octopus who needs to plant his feet to throw shots. And he is wide open up the middle and to his body. Margarito has next to no chance against Floyd

[raleights]

I think Floyd will win that bout myself, but I also think Floyd has very tiny balls (being 147 his balls are already meant to be little but damn....)

[Unknowndonor]

That's funny. Tony may be deserving, but I can't see him beating Floyd. Even if I hated Floyd, and bowed down to Tony, I wouldn't want Tony to fight him.

Even if PBF wins,why would Margarito not want to fight him? What's the worst that is going to happen? He's going to get kncoked down 6 times lose every round and get stopped? Chico came back and anyway,Floyd is the 1 that should be scared,he has more to lose


Let me rephrase= I would want Tony to fight Floyd to get his shot, but, I wouldn't want him to take another loss. It may do him some good like chico, but, Tony is already dissed, and avoided by too many fighters, so if he added another loss, more people would discredit him, especially getting outboxed every round. I would try to get another recognized fight for a belt. It makes sense to go after floyd, but losing might set him back further. If I was him I'd ultimately fight Floyd for sure, but, it may prove to be costly financially.

Unknown, usually you and somewhat agree.
But never at this. First things first, they both have entirely different body frames AND belong in different divisions. You know Unknown, THAT actually matters in itself. Chico's scrawny and tall body is a wonder. I still can't believe he was able to fit himself into Super Featherweight, especially when he's just about as tall as me!!! Crazy!

Also, Diego, unlike Mayweather, is actually fighting the fights and earning a name for himself. Casamayor, Freitas, and Castillo. He's done more than Mayweather has ever done in the past four years. He's actually taking risks against quality opposition.

And please watch more Margarito fights!!! Because your sounding like an ignorant b*stard when you say stuff like this. heheh Don't EVER compare Diego with Margarito, Seriously. You almost sound like a racist b*stard. heheh So, they both have some Mexican in them, that's about it they have in common.

Watch Margarito in his Santos, Lujan (Margarito actually plays the Boxer), and Cintron fights. Even after Margarito's "loss" he keeps on trucking with his machine like style. Also note that Margarito throws from diagonal angles UPWARD and downward!

Earth to Unknown, if you fight anybody with world class movement, you can't punch as much! Tell me something I DON'T know. That's what the sweet science is about. Also about Justin Juuko, first of all that was SIX years ago, even Diego was too young to realize his own potential. Diego and Mayweather squared off over FIVE years ago, with Diego only improving in time. The Diego of Justin Juuko wouldn't last against his current competition. Joe Goosen as Diego's trainer has really helped his game, mentally and technically. Diego was just a young man, now he's a veteran of the game with great fights and accomplishments back to back to back.

Margarito has earned his shot, like any good man, the hard way. And to say he doesn't deserve it because he "looks like Diego did six years ago" is just not smart.

He deserves a shot, I;'ve always said that. And, for the record, I'm not racist{that's funny}. Chico has gotten better with time. I was speaking about times in their careers, Chico and Tony resemble each other. They fight nothing alike now, but Chico did used to fight like Tony, as far as volume punching, and stalking.You must have mistaken me about Tony not deserving a shot. All other top welters have recent losses besides Tony, so who else deserves a shot? I've seen all of those fights with Tony that you mentioned. I never said Tony and Chico are the same, I said Tony reminds me of him. Ther is a difference, Earth to Gyrokai. Ha Ha! And I do agree with Chico should be fighting at a bigger weight. He looked like he had aids at 130. And, he don't look much better now. Yes, Tony uses angles more than Chico ever did, and boxes more. I simply based the comparrison on volume punching{past or present}, and stalking. Ease up killer! We both know you don't like my boy, and I think he'll beat your boy.

Heheh, Always class. in 24.

Technically no athelete deserves millions but if you're gonna dish out that cash atleast give it to the fighters who are gonna need that money to pay the gigantic hospital bill that comes along with brain damage

but dangerous or not they do what they love and get compensated very well for it

What do you mean technically no athlete deserves millions... Who gets all the millions that is generated from people paying good money to watch the athletes then?? Do you have any clue how business works? Wow.....

[Salhadin]

Whats wit the hype about this guy? He is slow as .....you know..

See,I know where you are coming from and glad you rephrased it but people may think that Tony is easier to fight then IF he lost every round which is highly unlikely anyway!!!! I just see a guy who has nothing to lose and he will go out there,give it his best and HE WILL CATCH Floyd somewhere,the question is how will Floyd take the power. At 147,I have yet to see the fleet footed Floyd from the fights against Chico,no where near close even.

[DaxxKahn]

Margarito used to say how he was whoopin on Oscar in sparring. He claimed that Oscar is/was afraid of him.

I find that hard to believe ( not that he said it but Oscar being scared of him )...DLH has been in with the best.....Never once backing down

[El Kabong]

If ODH can take punches from B-Hop and Tito then he wouldn't be scared of Tony!

Now Tony is THE champ but no one wants to fight him...I think it would be smart for a guy like Zab Judah to gun for him...maybe Hatton or Cotto too!

[albsur2006]

Exactly what I've been saying since day One. Floyd would pick Tony apart all night with that jab to the stomach and right hand leads. Gimme a fucking break, this guy is a bigger and much slower version of Chico. Floyd, at least right now, just doesn't tire. If Chico and Gatti weren't able to land the big shots, Tony's slow ass won't be able to either. Judah barely landed anything significant except that one shot in the fourth on Floyd and he was probably just as quick or quicker than Floyd. Tony's only got a puncher's chance.
