Why the Hell do we watch Floyd? One person knows the answer

I watch Floyd because I always find a way to watch it for free.

 

Floyd asked more money vs Cotto, Hatton and Margarito, I think it was 2 million more each, this was around time Arum was supposedly not paying Floyd hes guaranteed money. He owed Floyd money for the Judah and Gatti fights.

It's just funny that most of the fighters who supposedly Floyd is ducking is under Arum. Its more of bad blood between the two.

 

This. People just want to see the cocky little **** beaten.

Once he loses his 0 watch his PPV ratings plummet. That's why he protects it at all costs.

 

See Floyd was going to fight Margarito but he wanted a guarantee 10 million for Cotto and Hatton and 20 million for Oscar. Arum was only willing to offer him 7 million and he didn't want to do the fight with Oscar. Here are Arum's words:

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."

Ellerbe said Mayweather opted for the buyout so he could be "more in control of when and who he fights next. It's as simple as that. There is nothing bad between Floyd and Bob."

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]."

The split frees Mayweather to make a potential deal with De La Hoya without Arum as part of the promotion. His involvement would have made making a deal almost impossible: The head of Top Rank has openly feuded with De La Hoya, his former superstar, and their companies rarely do business together as a result.

Arum said he was simply not interested in participating in a De La Hoya-Mayweather fight, but not because of his distaste for De La Hoya.

"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.
