all this Mayweather is scared of Cotto crap is annoying me, What does he have to be afraid of, Cotto hasnt done nothing to make him scared. Who has he beat to make him scared? Judah? FLoyd beat him 2, Mosley coulda won the fight had he been better conditioned, I cant wait 4 this fight so every one will feel like asses when Cotto is outclassed. Then people will be saying Floyd took the east fight he shoulda fought Margarito, lol he will always be ducking someone in haters eyes.
Nobody In The Welterweight Division Can Or Will Beat Floyd!!
Hes Gonna Dust Up Cotto Den Probably Retire For Good.
Probably Just Live Out The Rest Of His Life Flashy Lol

Didn't this interview come out after Floyd left Arum....I think so. I need some proof from 2005 saying 8 or 7 M has been offered. Not some quote from a guy who proclaims to be lying yesterday and telling da truth today back in nov of 2006.
Quit spinning.....
haha, y'all still battling?
Lol. I give him credit, he owned me back on the other page but I question that article. Nothing else reported that Margarito offered Floyd back in 05. But when he offered a fight in 06 everyone knew about it. And I think Arum can lie and be full of it at times. He's looked like an ass before.
The Zab that fought Floyd would have beaten Margarito. Floyd was just a better fighter.
And fans rather see a fighter fight the best than chase a payday fighting a nobody(which he would have been doing bac then fighting Antonio). Margarito offered a fight before the Zab-Baldomir fight even happened.
You know that Zab didn't come to fight that night. Put the best Zab in against the best Margarito. You know who'd win.
And when what you posted was put on this site it was said that it was not the most credible source. Especially since nothing like it was posted.
It all comes down to who's better. Yes Margarito may have made a good offer but Floyd and Zab was the fight people wanted to be made. Floyd took the beter pick. He fought Judah for a minor amount less who is better and has a large fanbase. It would(and was) more competitive than a fight with Margarito woulda been. Zab was considered a bigger threat to Floyd than Margarito.
If he had fought Margarito people would be crying that he took the payday and ducked Judah.
HE DIDNT MAKE THE SAME FIGTING JUDAH "HE MADE LESS"...:duh:
its a FACT..please stop, im tired of OWNING YOUR PATHETIC NUTHUGGING ASS
And its a fact that Bob Arum is full of shit. Floyd most likely turned down the offer because Margarito was not a big name. Judah was a big name. Beating Margarito would have done nothing for Floyd. Everybody wanted to see Floyd-Zab.
margarito just KTFO cINTRON On an ESPN PPV where SSM was on the undercard...
SORRY KID...the money was with MARG AND FLOYD TOOK LESS TO FIGHT A MENTAL CASE! :owned:
ESPN PPV. Wonderful. I'm talking about a real PPV. And Shane was coming off losses.
Judah has a larger fanbase than Margarito. Margarito was a nobody. Beating a nobody does nothing for your resume. Beating Zab was a good win when you can make nearly the same $. Winky turned him down as well. You trying to say Winky ducked him too?
Floyd easily could have made the same amount with a more established name like Judah in Vegas. Mayweather-Margarito probably would not have been PPV. And Margarito was nobody way back in 05.
I give you credit for posting a link but Floyd could have made the same amount fighting Judah who was a bigger name which would equal more tickets and more PPV buys at the time.
And at that time Zab was considered a far better and bigger name than Margarito. Nobody knew who the hell Margarito was in 05. Floyd hadn't even stepped up to 147 until late 2005. The fight with Sharmba was a tuneup. The casual boxing fan doesn't know who he is now.
U asked him to provide a link with proof. He gave it to you. Now u want to change it to "who was margo at the time" LOL...U got fucking :owned:

LOL you got :owned:
whinney little baby :bottle:
Wrong. Floyd made over $5 million to fight Zab Judah. If you add up PPV buys you could be in the neighborhood of $7 million. Arum didn't say exactly say $7 million.
Yeah I'm glad you believe everything Bob Arum says. He's lied before. If that was 05 I wanna know why before the Judah fight he said Floyd was on the level of SRR and Ali. Arum's credibility been fell off.
