I think it's pretty clear the only reason Arum made that offer is because he knew it wasn't feisable for Floyd to fight at that time. In October, he's not just missing Roger, his other trainer is still suspended. Arum also knew Floyd (who has a multi fight deal with HBO) is already signed to fight his own PPV date Nov. 4th.
An 8 Million dollar purse is completely unrealistic for that fight. It's not worth that much money, meaning Margarito would get next to nothing.
Arum's a snake, and notorious for ****ing with anyone who crosses him. Mayweather left Top Rank, and I think this is just Arum blowing smoke to **** with Floyd.
If Margarito wanted the fight as badly as some suggest, he'd be screaming for the Nov. 4th date, considering he'd be making the same money as he would 'if' that Oct date went through.
But the bottom line is that Tony will be content to take a payday on his own date in October.
He's not yelling and screaming like some of these losers on the internet are. I think he knows a Floyd fight will still be available to him at a later date if he keeps winning.
