A quick story about Floyd, Haymon and Margarito

Arum said while Mayweather would have taken the $8 million to fight Margarito, he asked for a $10 million guarantee to fight opponents such as Miguel Cotto and Ricky Hatton, when Arum was only willing to guarantee $7 million

In short, Arum tried to do what Floyd what he tried with Oscar and has been doing ever since, most notably with Mikey Garcia.

[I]Arum said while Mayweather would have taken the $8 million to fight Margarito,

he took 8 million to fight baldymir in a stinker

Would floyd have outboxed margarito yeah most likely.

But there's no denying floyd ducked Margarito. Floyd thinks he hood from detroit but those hoods look like Beverly hills compared to the hoods Margarito grew up in Tijuana.

Margarito is real gangsta floyd is pretend gangsta, i remember floyd looking all scared and paranoid whrn Margarito confronted him about fighting.

[Floyd is TBE]

Like he did with the fat Maidana.
Oh wait...

He ducked Margarito, clearly.

First of all, Maidana was a better fighter than Margarito. Second, Floyd beat Maidana twice. Or are you one of those morons who thinks Maidana deserves a gold star for giving a past prime Floyd a few close rounds? Third, **** off and suck a dick.

No, Maidana was not a better fighter than Margarito.

Margarito fought with better opposition, way better and had better wins.

Was a stronger fighter than Maidana.

Best wins of Margarito:

Cotto in prime.
Maravilla Martinez when both fighters were youngs.
Cintron.
Clottey.

All in primes.

Best wins of Maidana:

Fu.cking Broner, a sh.it of fighter.
Glass jaw Ortiz.
40 years old and fat Morales
Sotto Karass.

Wow.

Nope. Floyd won both fights but would be a dangerous fight for Money.
That's the reason why ducked Margarito.

In short, Arum offered him $8m for Margarito, $10m for Oscar, $7m for Hatton.

Arum said Floyd would have fought Margarito if he upped the guarantees on the other fights. Arum refused.

So Floyd left. Got $8m for Baldomir, $25m for Oscar, $20m for Hatton.

Some people will call that a "duck" but some people are stupid.

he was offered 8 million for margarito bottom line...that was probably his highest payday to date...he was no where near a ppv attraction at that time...

Who did Margs beat without his precious hand wraps? Exactly. Is this what Mayweather haters have been reduced to? "He didn't fight a cheating ass journeyman doe." The **** outta here.

Margs was a walking punching bag. He couldn't do **** without cheating. The midget Pac toyed with him, just imagine what Floyd would have done.
