Floyd takes a ****. It's because he doesn't want to get out of the bathroom to face Cotto. This has NOTHING to do with Cotto-Floyd. Wow you are really turning into a loon when it comes to this bout.

Mayweather is`nt afraid of Cotto.Its clear the reason Mayweather does`nt want to fight Cotto or Pacquiao is because he does`nt like Arum.

Before any of you get overly excited, this suit is what one calls frivolous. 5 charges for $10,000, is just some ****** nuisance suit. I'm sure Floyd's entourage spits more than $50,000 worth of Kristal on cameras at rap video shoots every year.

Floyd Mayweather sues for purses

Floyd Mayweather Jr. has sued his former promoter, Bob Arum of Top Rank, claiming Arum still owes him money from his matches against Arturo Gatti in 2005 and Zab Judah in 2006.

The lawsuit, which was filed in Clark County (Nev.) District Court on March 7, seeks an accounting from those two fights and also claims that Arum breached his contract and did not operate in good faith.

Mayweather said his contract for the Gatti fight called for him to receive 85% of Top Rank's net revenues and his contract for the Judah fight called for him to receive 80% of the net revenues. He claims that Top Rank did not provide him the complete and final accounting for either fight despite repeated demands.

Mayweather does not specify an amount that he believes he is owed, but stipulates the statutory minimum of $10,000 for each of the five claims in the lawsuit. It is clear that he believes Arum shortchanged him much more than that for those two fights, which both did around 350,000 Pay-Per-View buys. Mayweather and his reps would not comment on the lawsuit.

"Under the advice of Floyd's counsel I can't comment on the complaint," said Leonard Ellerbe, Mayweather's adviser. "The complaint speaks for itself."

Before you get overly excited, the argument you just provided is what one calls an ad hominem.

The fact that he might splurge 50k a night on skittles doesn't change the fact that he is entitled to that money, or that Arum did indeed short change him.

Perhaps he's doing it out of principle and his general disliking for Bob Arum, not for the money.

Also the article said A MINIMUM of 10,000 for the 5 suits. Which means he is probably goingfor much more.
