Default Question on Tamron and Sigma's macro

Just curious when I found out the specs of the following 2 lens:

Sigma 70-300 Macro, MFD = 0.95m
Tamron 28-300 VC Macro, MFD = 0.49m

The new tamron 28-300 VC has a shorter MFD, however strangely that lens has a lower macro magnification factor (1:3) than Sigma (1:2). Somebody please explain why!?
