How come you avoid this quote like the plaugue then. If he was so scared of Margo and Cotto like you say he was then why did he want to fight them? "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) http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/box...ory?id=2420382
what makes me laugh is that you all think you're close enough to the politics of boxing to even know who's ducked who. anyone would think you were all in the room when the decisions were made. example being kessler - miranda, when has it been proved that kessler was scared of fighting him ? nowhere. and if he didn't duck him, who has he ducked ?
Crapfunds, keep your homo erotic thoughts to yourself you *****. Don't make me post that gay ass PM you sent me again.
Rocked!!! You've never seen the fight and don't have a idea as to what you're talking about just another boxing record ranger who doesn't have a clue. :rofl :rofl You're not in my league Los quit before you get embarrassed.
1 million do you understand math? PBF knew he was worth way more than what the snake Arum was offering and he proved it by fighting Baldo for 8 mil plus PPV revenue and the linear championship to boot. He got over 20 mil to fight Oscar and over 20 mil to fight Hatton. Why in the **** would he settle for the 7 mil Arum was throwing his way he would have fought Margo for 8 mil and Cotto and Hatton for 10 mil each nothing crazy about PBF's demands and he later went on to prove it.:deal Nice try though Arum is kicking himself for not making those fights.
1. Alexander Dimitrenko (he did not want to fight Luan Krasniqi) 2. Floyd Maywaeather (he did not fight Cotto) 3. Joe Calzaghe (Mr. WBO-----9 year Super-hero)
Who gives a **** about a poll? They are nothing but popularity contests. They don't prove ****. I rather deal with facts like the one's I posted in this thread.:hi:
NO MATTER HOW YOU SLICE N DICE IT your hero is not the man you thoughthe was,lol,just get ova it!:nut
That's what I am saing,money aint everything.He was taking lesser challenges for better money.The best aint always the best payed,the best payed are the most entertaining,thats why guys like Gatti and de la Hoya were payed better than him altough they ere underdogs.Does your mind understand that?
I dont blame you for your own ignorance ...i live ,breath,eat and **** boxing since a kid son so i think YOUR outta your league.But either way im not knocking you fotr having Phony Boy Gayweather as your savior but Floyd's legacy will ALWAYS be in question even after we are long and gone.
