    That still doesn't mean much to be honest. Yes, there was an offer but the exact details are unknown.
    Apparently there was also an offer for Floyd to fight Winky Wright at one point as well as Sergio Martinez...just because there were rumours or even offers doesnt mean its going to happen.

    Also remember that Arum was like Trump 10-15 years ago. He said anything...said Manny needed an outdoor stadium built to fight Floyd...a whole bunch of utter nonsense

      those werent rumors. floyd called out winky, arum and winkys promoter made the fight, when time came to sign to fight, floyd changed the money. we have seen that tactic from him before though so nothing new. this is why its laughable that people say floyd would have fough pac in 2010 if only pac had agreed to his fake testing program. we know he just changed the money liek he did with winky

        Read the article buddy. Educate yourself.

        After buying himself out of his Top Rank contract, Mayweather took unprecedented control over his career. Rather than getting paid a large guaranteed fee up front by a promotor like Top Rank — as is the norm across the sport — Mayweather stages his fights himself and takes a cut of the total revenue on the back end.

          do you know what a counterfactual is? we dont know how much money he would have made if he stayed. its literally impossible to say. its like saying what if jordan hadn't retired in 94...we dont know! you can speculate all you want but lets go back to the facts and his actions shall we?

          we do know that he asked for a guaranteed purse of 20 million for hoya as part of the marg deal. obviously that was crazy money and no promoter would ever give him that. we have proof that no promoter would give him that because both top rank and golden boy refused to give him thjat much. golden boy only gave him 10 million which is half of what he had previously demanded as part of the marg deal.

          my question is why did he price himself out of the marg deal? my question is why did he fight sharmba for 4 and not marg for 7? judah for 5 and not marg for 7? this is a did floyd duck marg thread is it not? all those things point to him not wanting to fight marg

            We know he was going to make more than what Arum was offering...which was No DE LA HOYA FIGHT AT ALL.


            He asked for $20 million and got $25 million. Sorry. Go try your bullshlt with someone else

                floyd asked for 10 million when he signed with golden boy. yet he asked for 20 when hoya was part of the marg deal. happy?

                stop trying to conflate how much it made on ppv as part of the guarantees. guarantees are minimums. no promoter was going to pay him a minimum of 20.

                  Did Manny fans admit he lost to TBE fair and square then sales an injury?
                  Well that’s was true for sure and we don’t know who TBE ducked but I do know free never lost and Manny was the least entertaining fight reds ever been in.

                    Floyd had left Arum and he wanted Floyd to take that fight with options IIRC. Why would Floyd do that? Literally counterproductive.
