No he was never offered 8 before, Arum wanted to re-sign Mayweather and wanted him on a 3 fight contract where he would earn 8million against Margarito, the 8million was offered after the Arum contract expired and as part of a multi fight deal that would see Arum creaming the money off the top. As for Arum offering 8million, 1. it was a multi-fight deal that would mean no 40million deal against Delahoya, 2. Arum still owed Mayweather millions after the Judah fight that was unpaid, what guarantee is there this time Arrum pays up? Did you know Mayweather offered Margarito a payday after Judah lost and Margarito/Arrum turned it down?
