Margarito v Mosley....off

[ipswich express]

Whisper is that HBO offered a $4 million pot for a 50/50 split and Tony's camp weren't happy with that. He's looking at a keep busy fight now and a rematch with Cotto.

Mosley will likely turn his attention to Andre Berto...

[teke]

I wanted to do this thread yesterday but didnt feel like teasing Marcus about his man being a chicken shit mothafucka :deal

[Rise Above]

Margarito has become too greedy after his win over Cotto. Seems like he isnt willing to fight anyone unless its for a shitload of money whereas before he was willing to fight anyone, anytime.

[sambo1987]

Nah, fair enough I say. At the end of the day it's a job for Margarito, and if I were taking bombs like he does, I'd want more than 2 mill. Margarito's the one putting everything on the line, he should get paid accordingly. IMO ofcourse.

[VIP]

2 or 4 million ain't enough? Margarito isn't exactly a household name.

[ipswich express]

2 million would be Margarito's biggest pay day. Word is that his team is now going directly for a Cotto return. Stand by... be interesting to see how it pans out.

[teke]

Marg is starting to grow feathers

[ranser]

I don't think this fight will be particularly interesting anyway.

[Texan Joe]

I don't think this fight will be particularly interesting anyway.

Good luck to him... Marg is the man at present he holds the marbles, I reckon Sugar would of been relieved when he knocked him back.

Fair point mate, its easy for us to criticise but we arent in there taking the punches.

[Marcus]

fuck off teke u dickhead.
shane doesnt deserve half off margarito!
i think he shouldnt mix with drug cheats anyway.

[Kegsy]

Margo would have destroyed this old version of Mosley anyways.

[teke]

Puhlease fellas, Marg is another Pavlik waiting to happen.

[Kegsy]

The match appears all signed up & back on as HBO brought more money to the table after Mosley-Berto fell through.

Margo KO to end Mosley's awesome career.

[ipswich express]

Looks like Tony played the negotiations right....he's ended up with more bucks. Also helped that Berto has a mandatory against Collazo due and he would've been stripped of his belt if he fought Mosley. Good news...

[teke]

Who wants a tiny bet that Mosley makes Marg look silly?

Ill make a huge one!!!!!!!!!!

Teke, he could only just beat Mayorga, beaten by Cotto.... he is one the slide mate, used to be a great fighter on the roids.

But he isnt goin to beat a PRIME Margarito!!!

[ipswich express]

Tony will eat Mosley up. The reason is that Shane would rather go toe to toe then box. Mosley's never turned down a war and it'll play straight into Margarito's hands. Cotto's lateral movement gave Tony problems, but Shane will stand and trade for the most part.

Well he is supposed to be trained by Nazzem Richardson (Hopkins' trainer) for this fight so maybe he is looking to execute a more boxing type of fight, but who knows? Margarito UD.



A prime Mosley beats him however

[ipswich express]

Maybe he does... who knows. Vernon Forrest beat him twice at Welterweight, so nothing's out of the equation.

[roscoe]

Mosley with the right game plan can box Marg's ears off but he just has to box. If he stands & trades he gets stopped. If he has Richardson in his corner, Mosley will pull it off.

[Boxing Fanatic]

Arum said its on. And that is all u got to know.

[ipswich express]

"Yesterday I was lying, today I'm telling the truth".

- Bob Arum.

:lol:
At least Arum does not put on midgets i guess.:-(

[ipswich express]

You love having a dig at Jamie dontcha? :) It hasn't gone unnoticed by many. Still, his Fox Shows are the ones that have consistently rated the best. I guess it's all about finding different angles. The main fight was a ball tearer and the little fellas gained the promotion much needed press... Arum's promotions included Mia St John and Butterbean on PPV... and who could forget Evil Knievel...

I guess Jamie Myer & Bob Arum have lots in common when it comes to Butterbean.:yep
Myer put on 1 of best main events FOX has had this year on his last card no complaints from me, undercard was fairly week due to some pullouts, but i wont back down that i think the midgets shouldnt belong on tv.
Makes boxing seem more of a sideshow act with all the press it received.

And take a guess as to which Fox airing received the best ratings...yep the bean. Difference was, Bob put him on PPV's.

The undercard might not have been it's strongest, but the fights were enjoyable. If the original card with Briggs v Cronje, Alex v Col and Jarrod Fletcher had have stayed together it was easily the most interesting card this year.

It's up to you whether you think midgets belong on tele, it's been and done, as has the para-olympics. Did you lose sleep over that too?

[pecks]

Hmm. Marg should win this one, though it could get tricky for him early on.
I see what teke is saying, but Mosley isnt the man to make Marg look silly.

Not too interested in this one should it come off. I'd actually like to see a Cotto rematch.

The undercard i said was ok, considering all the pull outs on short notice, but it was 1 of the weaker ones of the year. Not quite Murray Thomson levels.:lol:
Then again my favourite boxer Hardcore Hadlow was semi main on both occasions, if only he could win the Aussie title.:good
I liked Hunter Sam tho showed nice pop.
Hopefully Myer steps away from these sideshow acts for cheap ratings & gets back to quality he can put on like Leapai-Cronje.:deal

[teke]

I will always give a little bit more credit to the better skilled fighter.

It is evident that Mosley is on the decline but i have a funny feeling about this fight. If Mosley is training to fight to a plan then i can see him winning. He can box well when he wants to.
