BOB ARUM: "MAYWEATHER would have taken the $8 million to fight MARGARITO."

[Horus]

Are you that dumb?

People voted on that poll.

I swear to god you get dumber each day.

lol thats why I did not even bother responding to him.
The guy is obviously a ******.
No point in having a rational conversation with a ******ed person.

[EMIL2010]

RA THE RUGED MAN ask XYLOCAINE MANwhy he didnt took 8 million for MARGARITO fight.

XYLOCAINE MAN answers was that he got SHARMBA MITCHELL fight for 8 million.

And thats impossible,I seriously doubt that he got 800 000 for that fight and for damn sure he didnt get 8 million.

Where did you get the idea that he was a ***** or a punk?
What situation in Floyd's career made you think he was a punk or a *****?

Please explain where these thoughts came from?

allegations from the majority of the boxing community see floyd as a ducker. He can make these allegations go away by fighting Shane Mosley, end of story. He needs to fight shane or else he's the kid on the playground who backed down from a kid and the whole school was making fun of him, the school being boxing fans and the kid being shane mosley. Not sure how much more simple I can make it, you seem to have a weird agenda on this one so I'm not sure if any answer will suffice.

Exactly....

If Hatton hadnt fought the likes of Tyszu, Mayweather and Pacquiao instead, you might have a point.

As usual, you dont.

[Blue Heffner]

Margarito called Mayweather out before Oscar/Mayorga.

Stop defending a coward.

You must not have read the post, that's evident.

[Schmerzen]

arum is a liying idiot, who takes him serious anyway?
besides *******s of course

[Rickety Cricket]

but he didnt fight him so it doesnt matter.

[touchofsleep]

horus is right. this image of floyd being a ducker is some carefully crafted bob arum bullsh**. looking back, before every floyd fight, there was never this call of, "why is he fighting him instead of him" every opponent that floyd fought, the media as well as many of the fans thought "this guy has a chance" it's only after the fight, and floyd outclasses the guy ridiculously that people say, "why doesn't he fight so and so?" inevitably, the same thing happens to so and so. what people don't understand is how good this guy floyd actually is. dudes don't even win rounds against him, let alone fights. pac man has abseolutely no chance, roach and arum know it. shane has a chance but he's probably going to leave the ring swollen faced and frustrated like all the rest. smell the coffee people.

After reading that article it's clear that Arum is a Snake. He was trying to **** those guys. He wasn't willing to pay Floyd. But Floyd proved he could get the $ without him. Arum is a lying piece of crap. I feel sorry for his fighters.

Bringing you the facts series. VOL. 1

BOB ARUM: "MAYWEATHER would have taken the $8 million to fight MARGARITO."

If the title of this thread is a surprising to you, honestly I can not blame you..
How Could you Know that BOB ARUM actually said these words, with the
the anybody can write an article or create a boxing website boxing media always telling you something different.!!

With alot of revisionist history being played around with on these boards, I wanted bring the facts about one situation in our not to far past that has somehow became a truth with no facts to support it's argument.

How did this happen?
I would argue one of them is the lack of integrity by the anybody can write an article boxing media. Fueled by the contempt that alot of these writers in the media had and have for the Mayweathers.

As a result to this day we have ignorant boxing fans repeating lies they heard and read their favorite writer write on their bias websites. Thus creating atmosphere of unwarranted hate, based on in large part jealousy.

Jealousy of one man's success compared to their own, or compared to their favorite fighters. So the response alot of these writers took was destroying the facts in order to affect the reality. As a result, by in large they succeeded. They flooded the market with the same lines over and over again without any reguard for facts, because their purpose was to destroy one fighters reputation and legacy while hoping to enhance and build another fighters name.

HERE ARE THE FACTS in BOB ARUMS own WORDS!!!

This is quotes from a espn article from 2006




So the question is, How can BOB ARUM saying from his own mouth that
"Floyd Mayweather would have taken the $8 million to fight Margarito"
be turn into anything other than that.

As we understand the situation today, if you listening to some in the boxing media

• "Mayweather turn down the Margarito fight out of fear."
• "Mayweather ducked Margarito"
• "Mayweather would not even take 8 million to fight Margarito"
• "Mayweather alaways duck Fighters like Margarito,Cotto, etc.."

My question is WHEN and WHERE DID ALL THIS DUCKING START AND WHY DID IT START????

The answer is simple, it started when The boxing media and ignorant decided to run away from the facts and instead create their own reality.
The reality they wanted people to believe was that what Floyd Mayweather has done in his career was in large part based on his cherry picking, and his willingness not to fight fighters like MARGARITO in order to stay undefeated!!!!

I must say, from a effectiveness standpoint it has worked, because no matter what facts I or anybody else could show some of you guys. Alot of you guys will never believe anything other than Mayweather is a ducker and you will used examples like Margarito. When in reality, Mayweather never ducked Margarito. In fact he would have accepted the contract if BOB ARUM would have just guranted $10M for Cotto and $10M for Hatton.
Infact Arum wanted to offer Mayweather less money for Cotto and Hatton rather than Margarito....

What was the logic behind that???

$8M for Margarito but
$7M for Cotto and Hatton????

Add in to the fact if Mayweather would have fought Margarito he would have most likely not fought De la hoya...


IMO, Looking how history played out I believe Mayweather made the correct decision in opting out of his TOP RANK contract to go after a fight with De la hoya. In which he made $ 25M. In addition to going after Hatton when he made $20M.


funny thing is here is what Arum what use to say about Floyd before Floyd left him:

Nice that you posted some facts... not that we drive into fantasy land *looooooooooooool* But facts won't change anything for most because we talking about Floyd *lol*

I always found it really sickening because Arum started this whole Mayweather campaign of being an coward and ****... nobody said anything before that... and when negotiations fail or Mayweather is fighting not an TopRank guy he is a coward... what so funny is... that he started this campaign and then he recalls his own campaign as truth... it's weird...

It's the same if Mayweather Senior says NOW Pacquiao is on roids and backs it up through his own campaign that he started a few months back... because he said that Pacquiao was on roids... it's crazy... it's Bob Arum...

But of course is Arum and he is a nice man and couldn't lie *loooooooooooooooool*
