do you believe arum offered mayweather $8 million to fight margarito??

[VIVA MEXICO!!]

i dont know why some people deny this when it is a plain and basic common sense fact.

arum was mayweathers promoter at this time. why would arum lie to his own fighter??

[My Name Is...]

I think he did, and he turned it down not out of being scared, but because it was going to lead to a bigger fight in ODLH.

And not only that, he offered it knowing floyd was buying out his contract just like dlh did. How can arum offer floyd 8 mil to fight an unknown margs, when floyd fought more popular fighters gatti and judah didn't make 9 million??? I have yet to find out how much floyd made for fighting hatton. So the offer was bogus. Sure he made the announcement. It wasn't a legit offer.

all he had to do was accept the offer to the whole media and if arum was lying it would have been proven. instead maywaether just made excuses not to fight this mexican bad ass. educate yourself.

Awww, sad Mayweather didn't fight Margarita? Boo hoo.

[Eaner0919]

he offered but he also threw options on it and Floyd had already made up his mind he wasnt working with Arum anymore in any fashion. Was the offer bull****? Kind of because he did the same thing to Margarito when the first negotiations went on for a Cotto fight.

[x-PeROxiDE-x]

I don't believe a word that comes out of Arums mouth, so why would I believe this?

Floyd SHOULD have fought Margo, but he didn't.

Crying about it won't help much.

Thats kinda what I thought had happened. There are so many things that people don't realize happens behind the scenes. In boxing, nothing is as it appears on the surface.

i like how people never believe arum

but when it comes to the 8 mil offer.....hes telling the complete truth


go back and look at that thread if you want facts

Don't you understand what i'm saying? He didn't want to do business with Arum. How hard is that for you to understand? He didn't want to give Arum any more money. If he agreed with taking the offer, he would have to deal with arum some more, and he didn't want to. Margs is outside of the picture until arum mkes this phony offer to make floyd look like a coward.
