    I have to rewatch the fight but I remember Judah took the early rounds. I was rooting for Floyd because I dont like Zab and knowing Floyd and Zab I knew that even though Zab was ahead on points early that he would melt eventually and Floyd would take over and thats what happened but how some of you deny the fact that Zab won the early rounds and scored a KD that wasnt counted is beyond me.

    It's crazy how Floyd not only turned down several career high paydays against Margarito, but actually paid his promoter 750K to get out. I don't call fighters cowards, but Floyd must have seen something in Margarito that made him never want to share the ring with him.

    Fight gets personal between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Bob Arum

    Appleton/News Floyd Mayweather Jr. is suing his former promoter.


    Without fanfare, which is a rarity in boxing,
    This content is protected
    filed a lawsuit against his former promoter,
    This content is protected
    of Top Rank, in
    This content is protected
    (

    ) District Court two weeks ago.
    Mayweather claims that Arum shortchanged him on matches against
    This content is protected
    in 2005 and
    This content is protected
    in 2006. In the lawsuit, Mayweather said he was due 85% of Top Rank's revenue from the Gatti fight and 80% from the Judah fight. He claims Arum has refused to turn over the records for accounting. Mayweather has asked for the statutory minimum of $10,000 on each of the five counts, but would be in line for millions in punitive damages on a breach of contract claim.
    This could get ugly before it's over, making it the heavyweight slugfest of the year.
    In a strange twist, Arum admits that he owes Mayweather money and said he has told Mayweather's reps why he isn't giving it to him.
    "There's no question we owe him some money," Arum said. "There's no dispute there. But he owes us a lot of money, and the people he's involved with owe us even more. After 98% of the money we owed him was paid, we stopped paying him for a reason.
    "We're owed ... in the millions. We welcome this lawsuit. We wanted it to be filed. We have counterclaims and cross claims against certain other individuals involved with Mayweather. This is just the opening salvo in a major battle."
    Arum and Mayweather parted ways in 2006 after Mayweather paid $750,000 to buy out his contract. That was triggered by Arum's refusal to guarantee Mayweather $20 million to fight

    , another Top Rank client, who successfully sued Arum to get out of his contract in 2001. Last year Mayweather and DeLa Hoya hooked up without Arum and fought in one of the highest grossing Pay-Per-View boxing events ever. Mayweather earned more than $30 million for the fight, and the two have planned a rematch for September.
    Mayweather believes that Arum stymied his career during the time that he was promoting both Mayweather and De La Hoya (from 1996-2001).
    Mayweather is preparing to take part in WrestleMania in

    on March 31. The 5-7, 150-pound Mayweather, the WBC welterweight champion and pound-for-pound best, will take on a 7-foot, 441-pound wrestler called Big Show.

    This whole BS about "The only reason Fraud wont fight Cotto is cause of Arum" is just plain stupid.
    If Arum was still DLH's promoter I wonder if this would still be true??? :-(
