do floyd fans admit

[Thunderstruck]

Floyd wasn’t with Arum though was he? Floyd told Margarito to his face to keep winning fights and they would meet down the line. But he couldn’t do that could he?

I had researched this awhile back watching and reading everything about it and found a press conference where Arum was announcing some fights and yes they had split .I found some articles where people were drooling over the fight and that Floyd turned down a huge payday.During the conference Arum was asked about Floyd saying he would fight anybody as long as the money was right.Arum went on to say Floyd would fight anyone who wasn’t named margarito.

I find that strange since Arum also said Floyd would fight Margarito but as part of it wanted a certain amount of money to De La Hoya, Cotto, and Hatton, which he was unwilling to give him.

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.

Arum said Mayweather also asked for $20 million to fight De La Hoya, a fight Arum said he wasn't interested in participating in.

"Arum and Diaz say that the 'Pretty Boy' was offered in the neighborhood of $7 million to face Margarito. In what could best be described as a 'business move', the same guy who brazenly challenged the bigger Winky Wright decided to bypass Margarito, to collect nearly $4 million to spar with Sharmba Mitchell.

"Flat turned him down like you can not believe," Arum said of Mayweather when he was offered a chance at the WBO title. "Any time we raised his name, Mayweather went crazy."

yeah floyd priced himself out by demanding 20 mill for hoya. he happily took 10 million a year later. further proof he wanted nothing to do with margarito thank you

[daggum]

Arum said. "He wants $20 million for the De La Hoya fight? It's not there.

De La Hoya was guaranteed $23.3 million and Mayweather $10 million for the fight

Um. He made 25 million for De La Hoya.

De La Hoya, with his sparkling image and bigger name at the time, made $52 million to Mayweather’s $25 million, which also made it the biggest payday in boxing history.

you dont know what a guarantee is i guess

[travestyny]

you dont know what a guarantee is i guess

And you don't know how Mayweather secured his bigger paydays by ditching Arum, I guess.


Here's an entire article on it if you care to educate yourself.

Floyd Mayweather paid $750,000 to get out of his contract in 2006, and it made him hundreds of millions

"He wants $20 million for the De La Hoya fight? It's not there. Sometimes, my man, you gotta know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em. We'll talk about things down the road," Arum said.

A year later, Mayweather made $25 million in a fight against De La Hoya that still holds the record for total pay per view buys.

ill post it again since you are having comprehension issues

De La Hoya was guaranteed $23.3 million and Mayweather $10 million for the fight

floyd demanded a 20 million guarantee as part of the margarito deal

why was he demanding so much before but happily took 10 later?

And you don't know how Mayweather secured his bigger paydays by ditching Arum, I guess.

we dont know how much he would have made if he had stayed. thats a counterfactual. what we do know is he asked for 20 as part of the marg deal then later changed to 10 when marg wasnt part of the deal
