you cant deny the facts. oscar makes more money and more sense.

I don't know how many times that espn article with bob saying Floyd wanted the Marg and Cotto fight but bob didn't think he can get the Hoya fight. Bottom line is bob didn't think Floyd could make that much money without him. And boy was he wrong.

lol ya some haters...even tho margarito gloves was wrapped ya still would want him to beat mayweather lol

how can you say he made a lot more if you don't know how much he would have made? a guarantee is only a minimum. it's not the total amount. mayweather's guarantee when he actually fought hatton was only 11 million. you could also say if mayweather fought margarito and cotto instead of baldomir he would have made a lot more when he did fight delahoya and hatton because his popularity would have been even higher. Mayweather is the highest paid boxer because he left Arum. Think about it, Pacquiao is the most exciting and well kown fighter in the world and he hasn't made anywhere near what Mayweather has, and he fought DLH too, but for much less money.

You know, I've always found it interesting that all the fighters Mayweather "ducked" are Top Rank fighters... I pointed this out a few weeks ago and all i got was "Oh its not a conspiracy" from some luni..

You know, I've always found it interesting that all the fighters Mayweather "ducked" are Top Rank fighters... it's probably a coincidence they had all the best fighters. do you think if top rank had baldomir floyd would have left to fight margarito? come onnnnn

After the Gatti fight he had one fight left with Top rank, Arum was looking to pit him in with Margarito but Rito end up fighting Gomez while Mayweather end up fighting Sharmba Mitchell and after that the Judah fight took place, But before all of this he was offered 8M by Arum to fight Margarito in August 2006, Team Mayweather claim he injured his hands in the Judah fight and that Mayweather would only be available towards the end of 2006. With Arum refusing to guarantee Mayweather an X number of amount for the De la Hoya fight (Arum "There is not that kind of money in the oscar fight") and Arum refusing to guarantee Mayweather more money for a Cotto (Mayweather demand 10M) And for a Hatton fight (Mayweather demand 10M) He had no choice but to reject the 3 fight deal that Arum/Top rank offered him for him to face Margarito for 8M.. History has prove that he made the right choice in rejecting that contract and the fight by going on to make a lot more in two of those fights in the De la Hoya and Hatton fight. how can you say he made a lot more if you don't know how much he would have made? a guarantee is only a minimum. it's not the total amount. mayweather's guarantee when he actually fought hatton was only 11 million. you could also say if mayweather fought margarito and cotto instead of baldomir he would have made a lot more when he did fight delahoya and hatton because his popularity would have been even higher.

way to screw up the time line. he chose to fight baldomir not delahoya. maybe he was waiting for a delahoya fight in the long run but he fought baldomir because he knew he had no chance at winning and ruining his delahoya payday. he also never fought marg or cotto after the delahoya fight. instead he chose a series of retirements while they were on top.

he left arum to get the oscar fight.... WOULD YOU DO THE SAME?:boxing: THANKS

If I recall to fight Marg he would have had to sign a 3 fight deal at 10 million or so each. Instead he chose to fight DLH and make almost that much in 1. WOULD YOU DO THE SAME?:boxing: THANKS

mayweather turned down a career high 8 million in april to fight margarito mayweather accepted 8 million to fight baldomir in august he must of had a time machine to know he would get that much from baldomir when he turned down margarito
