Were they contacted by the Mayweather camp to arrange fights? Yes. No less than the fighters and their managers confirmed it. Ask the stooge from Nate's camp who posts here, OnePunch. Boxingscene covered the news. Some quotes:
“Mayweather’s camp have been in touch about three times now. With the Pacquiao fight being called off now, it’s good news for me.” - Matthew Hatton
Alvarez's team were not interested in having him go against Mayweather at this time... "Oscar De La Hoya Valley offered that fight to my coach. I believe that it is a difficult commitment, but I truly felt that I wouldn't have anything to lose. Mayweather is a difficult opponent and one must be in the proper form to beat him," - Saul Alvarez
"You put Saul Alvarez in with Floyd Mayweather and you put it in Aztec Stadium - you sell 100,000 tickets. The guy [Alvarez] on his own sells 10 to 20,000 tickets. Floyd Mayweather is a big event fighter." - Richie Rich Schaefer
