Margarito is a fight Floyd considered, but the money and future fight options from Arum wasn't correct so they moved on. The relationship between Mayweather and Arum went sour over Money regarding the Judah fight, in which Floyd sued him. After that the mud slinging began.
thank you for proving my point again.
all signs point to floyd not fighting the best possible opponent for a myriad of different excuses.
This will be saved for future reference. Threads seem to disappear when the truth shines the light on speculation.
Thank you, MrWestGrand.. .

Arum said while Mayweather would have taken the $8 million to fight Margarito, he asked for a $10 million guarantee to fight opponents such as Miguel Cotto and Ricky Hatton, when Arum was only willing to guarantee $7 million.
Arum said Mayweather also asked for $20 million to fight De La Hoya, a fight Arum said he wasn't interested in participating in.
"That's not in the cards," Arum said. "He wants $20 million for the De La Hoya fight? It's not there. Sometimes, my man, you gotta know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em. We'll talk about things down the road."
Ellerbe said Mayweather opted for the buyout so he could be "more in control of when and who he fights next. It's as simple as that. There is nothing bad between Floyd and Bob."
