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:

[Junito-Rulez]

LMAO, Horus should be a lawyer, this motha****a knows how to defend Floyd. I'd like to see him debate with a smart Floyd hater.

[fdotorres]

Actually read before you reply. I address this in the opening post.

so bob arum knows what's going on on floyd's head? nice argument there

[Horus]

so bob arum knows what's going on on floyd's head? nice argument there

no Floyd laid it out in the contract, in which they offer him 8 million for Margarito.

[fdotorres]

no Floyd laid it out in the contract, in which they offer him 8 million for Margarito.

floyd wanted what arum wouldn't offer/accept

he did it with cotto then

he did it with pacquiao now

who will be next?

[JPRINCEOFBOXING]

Just look at your poll fam.....i wanna ask you this question and i want any mayweather fan to answer my question ok this is it. WHY IS IT THAT FLOYD MAYWEATHER HASN'T HAD A GREAT FIGHT WITH NON OF THE BEST TOP WELTERWEIGHTS IN THE WORLD ,MARGARITO ,MOSLEY WILLIAMS, CLOTTEY, COTTO, PAQUIAO? I meen they have fought one another but the only fighter missing from this selection of fighters is mayweather why is he missing WHY HE ISN'T IN THE MIX. REASON I PUT MOSLEY IN THIS IS SELECTION IS CAUSE THE FIGHT HAS NOT HAPPEN YET AND MAYWEATHER CAN ACT LIKE HE BROKE A RIB AGAIN. BUT I KNOW THAT MAYWEATHER MOSLEY IS SET FOR MAY 1......

horus---you laid it out nicely and of course like you put in your opening post, no matter how many facts you post, people will still say floyd ducked margarito--but from me reading many to all of the responses to your thread, all of the haters on here are not rebuttling your thread with any real logic other than going off of that video of tony going up to floyd---and bob arum's statements--and i love how you put that vido of bob calling floyd the greatest fighter of the last 4 decades in 2006----just under 4 years ago---i mean, bob is a snake, corrupt son of a *****--i appreciate your findings horus, you always come correct when you talk about floyd---you know the ins and outs of the sport and you provide proof---not just opinions---keep it up baller

and floyd did want oscar the most, and arum knew that---so did tony---and floyd was smart in buying out of his contract---on top of this--tony was caught cheating last year---it playes out perfectly---look where floyd is now---look where tony is---who's career will have a huge question mark on it---despite many on here who will say floyd, it's tony---floyd is so daman smart---pac has a questionmark on his legacy now----shane does also coz he was caught with steroids, tony does also---now floyd is about to fight shane who crushed tony---when floyd beats shane---then watch how many people on here forget about tony----it works that way--people on here aren't loyal fans--they forget you in a hot minute---

they criticize floyd but when his career is done, he will go down as the best of this era---i'm telling you now--people say manny---floyd will be considered the greater fighter in the long run---he will get his credit in due time don't worry about it horus---

i mean ****, he has never used any illegal drugs, or been suspected of using them---he has never used illegal wraps---he has brittle hands, and plays by the rules---busts his ass in training camp and goes out there and put his life on the line--and because he is money hungry--just like srr and srl was and shane mosley is--and oscar and mike and every other boxer who says if the money is right, we can make it happen, lewis roy jones, every fighter--but because floyd is smart in the ring and uses his head to take little punishment, he get bashed--people hang on to his every move--and use it against him, but none of this ducking **** matters when he is still undefeated, getting paid the most, selling out fights, and now he's fighting the man who openly ducked him in 2006, ducked him in 2005, ducked him in 1999, has been caught using drugs, yet is still priased more than floyd is---how the hell does this work? how does a guy like tony margarito get who was caught cheating gets praised more than floyd? it cracks me up? floyd has more than proven himself in that ring----

he never ducked tony---he never ducked cotto--mosley---hatton--manny---if anything they ducked him---watch how he manhandlles shane---what will people say then?
