    But as that deal was finalized, a proposed Nov. 12 bout between Winky Wright and Floyd Mayweather fell apart as the two met at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

    "M-O-N-E-Y," stated Shaw in spelling out the reason why this bout between two of the premier prizefighters in the world will not be taking place. "I thought we had a deal. I spoke with Don King, King was on board, Jim Wilkes was on board,

    "When I was in Arum's office he talked about different splits," recalled Shaw, who said at that time the numbers he was told differed from the ones he had agreed to. "I started to yell, I said, 'It's gotta be 50-50.' He said, 'All right, all right. Why are you yelling?

    Same silly comments over an over.

    Offered Arum a contract for Margarito and Cotto, would have probably fought Clottey to, all Arum had to do was accept his purses request and offer DLH.

    Not to mention Margarito, Cotto, Pac all turned down offers from Mayweather to fight at one point from 140-147.

    Williams lost to Quintana and moved up to JMW don't think Mayweather cared enough about Williams at that point to chase him. Clottey didn't bring anything to the table, not resume, legacy, or money. D

    So at the end of the day you are cool with Wright fighting a Jr WW at Jr Mw. And calling it a road block because he requested more money. :tired

    There was no need for the fight to happen, nobody was demanding it. But It was one of the reasons why Mayweather started to want to leave Arum as he couldn't land him high profile fights.

  8. SHUT THE **** UP *******

    Floyd dominated Marquez who destroyed Pac. Woo wee it was funny as **** when Pac got ktfo.................. is he awake yet pac ****?

    Lmfao. Floyd is the far superior fighter. pacquaio aint **** compare to Floyd
     
  9. Floyd aint ****. He's just a rich coward. Pacquaio fought the best. Floyd lost to Castillo and pacquaio was fighter of the decade neca.

    Floyd also cheated against Marquez.
