History of Top Rank ducking Floyd

[Walt Liquor]

Starts with Antonio Margarito right?

This is the newest most popular excuse for Floyd's fans. Bob is and always was too scared to put his fighters in with Floyd.

I guess Margs was the shining example of this.

It was article where bob stated hebeanted those fights but bob didn't want to pay him 10mill per fight. Also bob said no to the Oscar fight.

Only fight I believe Floyd should have toke(or try to make) is Cotto. But they can't even get the biggest fight off this era done.

If you can't see that bob don't want the Floyd and manny fight I don't know WTF to tell you. Manny wants the fight. bob don't want it. He would rather have a Cotto rematch with PAC.

I don't know what it is but bob got you dudes believing every for dam thing he says despite his blatant bull****.

This **** about no PEDs. Bob doesn't want to deal with anybody that is not under his promotions.

You watch. We will never get a Donaire vs jml or gamboa fight if they ever ended up in the same class.

wifebeater wanted nothing to do with marg. he admitted it. trollweather said he "knew" marg was cheating all along so he did the right thing by ducking marg.

I agree completely with the bold.

I can't stand Arum and his grudge holding a$$, all I'm saying here is that there are Arum fighters Floyd should have fought in the past, and COULD have fought in the past.

2 people in particular were telling me over and over that floyd was avoided by everyone on arum's roster since 2002. then they asked me to name who wasn't a top rank fighter he should have fought. both are statements they knew the answers too. it's not hard to figure out if you follow boxing.

2006...

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."

so are you guys saying that bab would have risked margarito against Floyd?

that's what it looks like. perhaps someone should inform some of the smarter floyd fans that the "no top rank fighter was available to fight floyd, cuz bob was scared" card has been invalidated.

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.
