Arum was having problems with the HBO bosses. The trip to Showtime was to show them that they weren't irreplaceable. HBO started playing hard to get games with Arum and I believe that because of losing the Pacquiao fight, the top guy Ross Greenburg and his deputy, Kerry Davis, were both replaced.
I believe that Mayweather's move to Showtime was impelled by the fact that his career is coming to a close. The terms-according to the reports- show this to me anyway. He is signed for ONE fight, for $30 mill, with possible options for up to another 5, to a maximum of 6 fights and in a time limit of 2 1/2 years. Nothing startling about this. If Showtime don't like one of his fights they can chose to stop the deal. Which is logical.
Mayweather will need to chose opponents who will pressure him without being able to hurt him much, making it look good.
