cus cotto and margarito are done and shot. unlike pacquiao floyd dont eat people's sloppy seconds like pacquiao who made his whole resume off of floyd's victims.
floyd is facing a real fighter, shane mosley someone that destroyed 1 guy on your list and many felt beat the other in UD (Cotto). floyd will probably be first in history to destroy and embarrass mosley

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:

When you talk about FLoyd Mayweather to the true boxing peoples, they will laugh at you. Big George call Floyd a chickn.

i heard DURAN.........thinks his a joke as well.......................SRL respects the talent.....is clearly shaking his head at floyds "spinelessness"..........

Inactivity is not always necessarily a bad thing for an old fighter.

Too much activity for an old fighter will deplete what he has left however

For as long as you have been here and the few different alts you have had, why is it that all you seem to talk about is Mayweather? You don't like the guy, we get it, but that is all you seem to post about. You say he ducking Shane, soon as he signs to fight Shane, Shane is older than Methuselah. So, just stop posting about Floyd, you are a joke right now.
