For a fight against a nobody, Arum sure was offering Floyd a hell of a lot of money for that fight. About 8 mil...

Floyd made $8 million +$1 to fight for the WBC, Ring, and lineal titles instead.

That's all alleged too. There was no official offer from Arum just rumored.

Floyd fought Baldomir because he just beat Gatti and Judah - two previous Floyd opponents who were popular.

Margarito didnt reach popularity until after he beat Cotto....but in his very next fight was TKOd by a shot Mosley

So the window where the fight couldve happened was small and some people try to make a lot about really nothing. Margarito himself was no world beater at any point in his career. In the Cotto fight, his best win, has an enormous asterisk on it. Hard to assume he would've given Floyd trouble

Im convinced American Dad and TS the same person.

Pathetic loser

[GrandpaBernard]

margarito gets credit for walking directly up to Floyd and saying he wants to fight

He definitely wanted to fight

Not many fighters are that clear about a call out

Other examples I can think of Lara crashing Canelo post fight presser and talking himself into a fight

Shane jumping in the ring after Floyd Marquez was silly but got him the fight too lmao

FALSE.

Floyd bought out of Top Rank contract when Arum was pushing Floyd to fight Margarito. FACT. 100%. FACT. Used Goossen as his promoter for the Baldomir fixed sparring session.

Lol you sound like a ****ing moron.

[mxtali]

He bought himself out of his contact after Bob shorted Floyd for the Zab Judah fight. That’s pretty well documented too.

Okay still not the point. For somebody you called a nobody that’s a hell of a lot of money in 2006.

The article on ESPN says 8 mil pretty clearly. Also Ellerbe says they passed on Margarito on that date because Floyd was injured. They never denied the 8 mil offer. Then Floyd bought out because he wanted the DLH fight.

Pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr. rejected promoter Bob Arum's $8 million offer to fight welterweight titlist Antonio Margarito, and he instead exercised a provision in his contract to buy Arum out and become a promotional free agent, Arum told ESPN.com on Monday.

According to Arum, Mayweather turned down the career-best purse to meet Margarito on Aug. 12 on HBO Pay-Per-View, instead opting for free agency by buying Arum out of their deal for $750,000.

"I did hear from him," Arum said of Mayweather. "He decided not to fight this summer. I made him a tremendous offer. I think Margarito is the riskiest fight for him of anyone out there."



Mayweather adviser Leonard Ellerbe told ESPN.com that Mayweather passed on the fight not because he is ducking Margarito, but because he couldn't be ready to fight by Aug. 12. Mayweather injured his right hand during a dominating April 8 victory against Zab Judah.

"Floyd is not 100 percent healthy," Ellerbe said. "He has a bruised right hand. His hand is not broken. It's bruised, but it's a bad bruise. He wants to go into any fight 100 percent healthy. If Antonio Margarito happens to be the best available option when he is healthy, so be it.

"We are not turning down Margarito. I want to make that crystal clear. When and if he is the best available option for Floyd's next fight, that's the direction he will move in."

did he fight baldymir with that same messed up right hand?

[Rayzah]

bad match up for floyd, styles make fights and Marg was all wrong for him, just like Paul Williams. floyd is definitely better than both but there engine and height would have been hell for floyd

Okay still not the point. For somebody you called a nobody that’s a hell of a lot of money in 2006.

Floyd was number one on TR’s roster. Oscar was gone and Cotto wasn’t ready. Floyd was going to get 8 million regardless of opponent.
