Where?
Arum stated that Mayweather would have fought Margarito for the 8 million, but he wanted a guaranteed 10 million to fight Miguel Cotto and Ricky Hatton. Arum only guaranteed him 7 million. And for those who don’t know Cotto and Hatton were at the Mayweather-Gatti fight and Cotto was ranked number 5 by the ring at the time (Proof: Listen to the commentary Jim Lampley at the end of round 5) . Cotto had just moved up to the 140 pound weight class and he didn’t make an offer to fight Mayweather after the Gatti fight.
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.” Notice this part Arum was talking

I realize that Cotto is in the video I posted, but I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about Margarito, and Arum never said that "I'm the reason Mayweather never fought Margarito", as you just claimed.
All you did was say that Arum only guaranteed Mayweather 7 million for Hatton and Cotto - Two fights I'm not even interested in talking about, and two fights that have nothing to do with this topic of conversation.

The Margarito stuff was essentially all Bob Arum using free methods and stuff that was never going to work to promote Antonio Margarito, and people ate/eat that shit up
