    I humble believe that the only fighter Floyd avoided was Margarito. I can't say Pac, because I wholeheartedly blame Arum for that fight not being made.

            He bought off his contract because he could make more without Arum. Arum offered him 8 million guarantee for Margo. Floyd asked for 10 million guarantee, Arum refused. Floyd paid 100k to buy out his contract and fought DLH for over $20 million at 154. Hardly a duck when he fought for more money and a better fighter.

              There was a limited window for the buy out, so he left TR quickly after the Judah fight and then waited for the result of the De La Hoya vs. Mayorga fight. De La Hoya won but said he would take another year off so Mayweather was looking for an opponent, he finally settled on Baldomir who was a higher rated fighter than Margarito at the time (lineal champion), had the better win (Judah) and was more famous. He made a deal with Goosen Tutor, earned $8 million + $1 to make fun of Arum's offer, and also took a share of the ppv buys so he probably earned around $10 million. What else you need to know?

                STFU, bro. He made 8 millie (same he would've made vs MARGARITO) fighting lesser challenge (IDC how you wanna twist it) Baldomir instead of Margarito. That's undebateable.

                  Baldomir was lineal welterweight champion, Margo was a nobody.

                      $8000001 + a percentage of the ppv buys. Do your homework.
