    Read it and weep *******, this thread will forever own and haunt the PBF haters.:hi:

    "Arum agreed that the split with Mayweather was not on bad terms like their brief breakup last year. In fact, Arum said, "We intend to be back together. Everything with this was honorable and good. I had offered him numbers [for a multi-fight contract extension] that were livable. His expectations are in the stratosphere. He was entitled to buy me out, and he did. We decided this was the best way to handle it. He is a free agent. We have agreed to work with each other [in the future]."

    ""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." (Floyd ended up making over $20 million for Oscar, Arum is obviously upset now)

    "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." (He was willing to fight Marg, but wanted more against Cotto and Hatton, which was justifiable. Especially with Hatton)

    There you go dude. You people are idiotic with the ducking crap. Arum should have given Floyd his money and the fights you wanted would have happened.

    Blame Bob Arum.

    C you are grasping at straws. Hindsight > Foresight always. Arum was not on good terms with GBP and he's gonna go asking for 20 million? Forget about it. Wasn't realistic then, not 2006.

    Guys there is no ducking going on here. You can make an argument about the past but not right now. Floyd is retired. If he comes back and fights anyone else then yeah he's ducking

    PBF will not comeout of retirment to face someone like Margarito, he may comeback to fight Cotto if they put enough preasure on him but to face Margarito **** NO!!!! And if he does come back he will ask for an amount like $100 Millions and you already know what Arum's reply will be **** NO!!!!!!
