Ask Arum why they can't. He's the one writing the check for $8.5M. I'm assuming he has a relationship with the T&M. He said the numbers don't work unless it's at the T&M in Oct. Floyd doens't want it, so he's going to stick to his Nov date. Remember this offer is like a month old by now. LOL When Arum made the offer, Floyd didn't say peep for a week, until he had figured a way out. Then he repeated "Nov 4th" over and over in the BT chat, once Arum had said the numbers only worked for Oct in Vegas. That was Floyd's way out. And Bozo is repeating it like a parrot, and he's gotten a couple of followers to start repeating it as well. LOL Guess what? If Floyd wanted the fight for a career-high purse, then he'd have said "I'm taking it, but Arum has to get the ok from HBO." Boom, done deal and he fights Margarito in Oct. He didn't want Margarito, so he's sticking to Nov.
Floyd is post-2000 RJJ all over again. Get through some tough fights early in your career, get the P4P ranking, and then set it on cruise and fight second-tier fights instead of the most challenging fights available. Everyone knows it. Everyone can see it. Look at Floyd's competition post-2002. That is the last time he fought the most challenging fight available to him. That's why he's working his way down the P4P lists. Everyone is sick of it. I'm glad. I'm sick of it, too. He's too skilled a fighter for everyone to just sit back and watch him fight 2nd and 3rd tier fighters, or guys coming off losses. He says he's the best. The only way you can do that is to fight the best. He isn't, so he isn't. Simple.
