when did mayweather ditch bob arum

When Arum presented him with challenging fights? Ahhahahahahahahahh! good one! hahahaha

was floyd with arum from his first pro fight till after judah then?

Natas: it was Judah not Baldomir. Umm, Dirk: Arum presented these "challenging" fights to Floyd AFTER he left Top Rank. To be more accurate, DURING the May-Arum buyout ordeal. If you were not around to know about that, you shouldn't discuss it IMHO.

It was after Judah. His first fight outside of Top Rank was against Baldomir. That was the first time I saw the HBO crew heavily criticised Mayweather, especially Merchant - they even had a massive row during the post fight interview. Anyone find this simply coincidental? Hmmm. I personally think not. Probably had NOTHING to do with it being one of the most boring PPV fights in history.

I think it had more to do with the boos from the crowd and people leaving the arena around the 9th round. He was criticizing him more on the overall lack of excitement in the fight. I remember watching it at a bar and they turned the music back on during the 8th round because people were complaining it was boring. True story lol. This is true right here. The complaints or criticism of Floyd in that fight was due to his extreme lack of action in that fight. You can say it was a good plan for him, he was able to outclass Baldomir and get a clear win and keep on his track/goal of getting De La Hoya next, but it was not a fan friendly fight.

and become a free agent which fight was it? At the time it was the Margarito fight that Arum was pushing and I think he offered Floyd his biggest purse at the time of 8 million dollars to do the fight. Floyd saw a vision with Oscar at the end of the tunnel and becoming a PPV attraction and headed down the road of Judah, Baldomir and then yall know the rest. I think Margarito was a high-risk low-reward fight and personally from a style perception the wrong fight for Floyd. One thing for sure is Magarito would have tested his stamina and Floyd would have to use his feet alot. I see Margarito as a bigger Castillio but with a lot less head movement and less skills. His wide looping shots give Floyd to mant escape routes and the pressure is only effective if you land alot of body punches because his head shot would be pretty much ineffective. So in a business sense Floyd made the right choice.

Left bob after the Gatti fight......Goosen promoted his next fight against Sharmba mitchell Floyd got back with Bob for the Judah fight......got back with goosen for the baldomir fight Been working with goldenboy from that point on.

His last fight with TR was the Judah fight. Goosen promoted the Mayweather vs Baldomir fight.

It was sometimes before the Oscar fight. It's how he got a fight with Oscar in the first place.

Why does he use GoldenBoy to promote his fight sometimes Becasue Golden Boy is capable of handling most of the groundwork that involves a boxing event. His own promotional company isn't that far off the ground to do all the work necessary.

When Arum presented him with challenging fights?

He left bob after the Judah fight

I thought it was after his fight with Zab Judah, before the Baldomir fight. Because when he split from Top Rank after Judah, Bob Arum reported that Floyd rejected fighting Antonio Margarito, a TR fighter.
