1. It was about funding. Mayweather wanted a 10 million dollar package deal to fight Cotto, Marg, and a few other people who were hot at that time. Arum could only guarantee 7 mil.
2. Hindsight 20/20 is something else isn't it. It's easy to wait until 5 years after the fact and call a certain fighter a bum. Fact is, at the time, Baldomir had a chin of granite and just beat Judah and KO'd Gatti. This may sound like no huge accomplishment, but AT THE TIME, it was. See for yourself:
Now, here we are at the end of 2011 after Marg beat Cotto, and people completely forget about what was going on at the time.
What you failed to leave out he also wanted a guarantee at Ricky Hatton who has never been promoted by Arum, how could he pull that off if he isnt the promoter?
I think Floyd just made it difficult because at that time Margarito had welters on the run...
he should fight that little fella martinez. or maybe khan. but the date implies a fight with some mexican boxer. seriously morales is not a good fight, and marquez, mayorga and guerrero are also lol.

I didn't leave that out. I said a few other fighters who were hot at the time.
