Arum said while Mayweather would have taken the $8 million to fight Margarito, he asked for a $10 million guarantee to fight opponents such as Miguel Cotto and Ricky Hatton, when Arum was only willing to guarantee $7 million.
Arum said Mayweather also asked for $20 million to fight De La Hoya, a fight Arum said he wasn't interested in participating in.
"That's not in the cards," Arum said. "He wants $20 million for the De La Hoya fight? It's not there. Sometimes, my man, you gotta know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em. We'll talk about things down the road."
First Floyd was willingly to fight Margarito. Even Arum said Floyd was going to take the offer.
My real questions is
Why did Arum only offer Winky 4 million for a fight?? Winky was Top 5 P4P fighter at the time but got extra 4 million to fight Floyd
Why did Arum offer Floyd 8 million to fight Margarito yet only could offer 7 million if he fought Cotto and Hatton. Hatton and Cotto are much the bigger draw
