    Spare that crap no one and I mean no one was excited for Mayweather Baldimor ! And Cheto chose to hide behind that :think I recall him walking right up to. Floyd and challenging him ironic how that was dismissed ..

    Why should Floyd drop everything just because some pinata challenged him?

    That's not how boxing works damn fool.

    Baldomir upset the apple cart by kicking Judah's as.s and taking all those belts he had.

    Tony could have fought Floyd but Arum offered him LESS to fight Hatton than Margarito:nut

    WHO DOES THAT??

    Everybody knows Hatton brings more $$ than Margarito..especially back then.

    Floyd would have been laughed out of boxing for fighting the WBO Champ instead of the Unified WW Champ.

    You act like it was baldomir or Marg...that wasnt the case. It was baldomir and leave Arum to make the DLH fight or Marg and sign a package deal (with low ball offers) which included Hatton and Cotto for only 7mil.

    What is the more sensible choice?

    Margo did fight Mosley did you forget that? he also fought him before mayweather did.

    Margo also was suppose to fight Hoya after he defeated Cotto, but Hoya chickened out.

    How was he suppose to fight Zab when Zab kept on losing?

    Again;

    From the time Marg started until 06 the champions in the division were Spinks, ZAb, Mayorga, Forrest, Mosley And DLH (hell even baldomir) why did Marg not fight any of them during that time?

    Were they all ducking him?

    Zab was undisputed before he lost to baldomir. Before that even happened why did Marg not pursue a zab fight? Or spinks,mayorga,forrest, dlh or shane...why? From the time he started until 06..why?

    I remember Tony's wife/manager turning Shane down in 01.

    People forget the beast Shane was in the early 2000's.

    Are you telling he was forced to fight Baldimor ? And wasn't he offered 8 to fight Cheato ? Yeah I know it was all Arum's fault.

    What do you expect Mayweather to do, when the guy responsible for helping guide his career openly declares that he wanted nothing to do with helping Mayweather achieve a career dream fight and setting up what would be the highest grossing fight in boxing history (PBF vs. ODLH)?

    Where did i say he was forced to fight Baldomir?

    I said it wasnt just marg or baldomir as black an white choices.

    But i see what you are about with the "Yeah I know it was all Arum's fault" statement.

    Floyd wanted the DLH fight after he fought judah but Arum said he wont make the fight. Instead he offered floyd marg for 8mil and hatton for 7 along with cotto for 7mil as a package deal.

    From an espn article

    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."


    http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=2420382


    So if all floyd wants is 3 more mil from fighting both cotto and hatton is it floyds fault?

    On what planet is it logical to 8 for Marg and only 7 for the bigger draws? Both of whom which when he did fight them he made significantly more.

    And how is not wanting to make the biggest fight in boxing history not grounds for leaving that promoter?

    The reason Arum gave for not making the fight was;

    "I don't want to, because if I did that fight, I would be working for such a small percentage, it's not worth it," he said.

    http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=2420382

    Who do we blame if its not Arum then?

    they were all fighting each other for more money. in 03 they all moved up to 154 lbs anyways so margo was left out after that.
