Mayweather vs arum: Complete history

[Ca$trO]

good read.... it makes sense that freddie roach is saying mayweather would be mannys last fight...

The fact is mayweather is a great fighter with great skillz I am happy he is fighting mosely and not manny personally i think this is a tougher fight...

I've saved this to read later seeing as it seems really in depth. I've read about Arum and the whole Margarito, Cotto, etc stuff but this looks proper in depth so definitely gonna read later.

i agree, poersonally i think SSm is the best WW in the world right now and is the hardest fight for Floyd at 147 period.....

That's not even close to the full history of what happened between both sides. It leaves out a mountain of information.

This is a must read......it will clarify to you all what alot of mayweather fans already know....

it also addresses the whole baldomir vs Margarito debate and Cotto and alot of other things.......hopefully this can shed some light for uninformed fans out there about what has really been happening in the last 5 or 6 years............

It's got a lot of info, but it's more geared towards looking at Floyd as the victim.

BPP, what other key points do you not see in this article?

Goosen-Tutor Promotions came along and offered Mayweather one dollar more than Arum’s offer to face Margarito, for Floyd to instead face Carlos Baldomir. Mayweather accepted this offer. Some still claim Arum’s offer to fight Margarito was more. It wasn’t. It was one dollar less. Neither Baldomir nor Margarito was known outside of boxing circles at the time

Wait, wait, wait....Floyd fought Baldomir for $1 more than Margarito?!? I thought you *****s said he got $10million for Baldo!!!

informed *****s knew the deal was $8 mil for either.........the thing is do you take $8mil for Baldo the champ with the official strap and the guy the media is forcing down your throat....or the $8 mil from the guy who still hasn't paid you your full quote for the previous fight????

Many of us Floyd fans have tried telling this side but it falls on deaf ears everytime. The first thread I made here was about this.
