    Yes, "bod" didn't want to make the fight in order to protect his overly hyped cash cow...

    Just like "bod" didn't want to make Martinez vs Chavez Jr or Mayweather vs Pac or Mayweather vs Cotto....

    Bob has an agenda, and Mayweather hasn't been on it since Mayweather fired him..

        he just never called out floyd, but i dont think he's scared of floyd, this fight wouldve been more competitive years ago than it is now because cotto is still hungry and has his zero. but i think its a much bigger money fight now, because miguel is already a superstar too. but zero vs zero wouldve look good, just IMO.

          man he never ducked cotto and JMM asked to come up to 147 and fight floyd he wasnt dragged and he could have easily turned down the 600grand n not fought but he didnt he took it and lost.. hes not a little kid!, just get over it, if u dont like floyd just dont like him... but to just make stuff up is rediculous

                Golden Boy pretty much owes their influence and existence to an "Undefeated" Floyd Mayweather. Oscar was king and teamed his influence up with Floyd. We hear that everyday on here. "Oscar made Floyd."

                Could Oscar have "made Floyd" without an undefeated African-American?

                Floyd would be here regardless of Oscar, he just owes Oscar half his worth and vice-versa.

                  Didn't they negotiate a rematch fight in March of 2008?

                    Cotto isnt to blame, Arum is.

                    Its no coincidence that this fight has happened immediately after Cotto's contract was up. Neither of the fighters avoided each other.

                      Yea Oscar low balled Floyd. I think Floyd wanted at the most 50/50 or maybe at the least, don't remember. The first fight was like a 70/30 split in favor of Oscar. I think Oscar was only willing to do a 65/35-60/40 split for the rematch. But, Floyd felt and rightfully that he deserved more since he was a big part of the first fight breaking revenue records.

                      And, he was right. The rematch Floyd deserved 50/50, Oscar wasn't willing to give it to him. Everything was going they were going to fight in September, on Mexican Independence Day weekend at 147. Oscar picked Forbes as a tune-up to get ready for Floyd style, even did it at a catch-weight of 150 so it could be a smoother transition to 147. But, Oscar wouldn't budge on giving Floyd what he deserved. And, Floyd wouldn't let Oscar short change him. So Floyd walked and retired.

                      And, thank God Floyd didn't let Oscar low ball him. That would have been a terrible rematch. There was no need for it. It was just money. Floyd proved in the first fight that Oscar wasn't on his level.

                      But, I don't think that is what that fan boy is talking about. Since Oscar nor Floyd was Arum fighter during this time.
