    You're forgetting the part where Arum wouldn't allow him to face both.. So he took the offer with more money, and the better fight. :nut

    He had plenty of opportunities to fight him. Sharmba Mitchell was the better fight? GTFO :rofl

    Yeah that Oscar at 154, what a pushover. Had Mayweather only fought Margo instead, he'd be making 100 million a fight and his legacy secure forever! :lol::lol::rofl:rofl:patsch

    A lot of boxers could take Floyd's punches.

    Wtf are you even talking about? Floyd was offered to fight Margarito and went and fought Sharmba instead. Mitchell, Baldo and Judah were the better legacy fights? :rofl

    "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."

    :patsch:patsch:patsch:patsch:patsch

    --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.

    "That's not in the cards," Arum said. "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."--

    You quote the exact same article, but just happen to leave the part out about Arum refusing to do the match because of the purse requests. :lol::rofl:rofl:patsch

    Quit talking **** out of your ass Turd. Mitchell was Floyd debut fight at 147 and a setup fight with Zab Judah. Mitchell was a southpaw around the same height with Judah an obvious preparation.

    It was clear that Floyd jump from 140 to 147 was to target spinks/judah who were fighting for the undisputed WW position at the time. When Baldo upset Zab, Floyd then fought both. So quit making up lies to make urself feel better bc Pac got KTFO by a 40 year old.
