floyd turned down the original offer. it was arum who turned down floyd's counter offer. arum is a business man. floyd was only doing 300k in pay per views at that time. to guarantee him that much money would be financially very risky for arum. at the time it was more than a fair offer to guarantee floyd 8 million(twice his career high) to fight margarito considering his weak numbers.
he wanted 10 million guaranteed to figth hatton/cotto and 20 million to fight delahoya? he was only guaranteed 10 million against delahoya! why did he suddenly lower his demands from 20 mill to 10 mill after he left top rank? the guy just didn't want to fight those guys so he priced himself out and a bunch of tards who can't understand what they are even reading think arum was the one protecting margarito and cotto from floyd? makes no sense. arum is always willing to make in house fights to maximize profits.
if he was only guaranteed 10 million against boxings biggest star how can you possibly think he should be guaranteed the same amount to fight relatively unknown guys like hatton and cotto? he was pricing himself out clearly. the money for those fights wasn't there at the time and he knew it. this is called ducking.
