mayweather did not wanna fight cheato on THAT date cause of an hand injury, your acting like he fought someone else on the exact same dateFloyd's retired...no need to stan anymore and respond with false information breh.
You in here saying things that not even Ellerbe said
That's a duck all day, every day
He turned down Margarito in April 2006. Nobody was saying Floyd was scared to fight Baldomir in April 2006. Then with this happening:
That shows that Floyd ducked Margs in April..........only to sign to fight Baldomir for $1 more.
Also I won't forget all the "bu-bu-but, Margarito isnt a big enough draw", "Bu-bu-but boxing fans dont know who Margarito is", "Bu-bu-but, Margarito has five losses (disregarding Baldomir having 9 losses at the time)"
Floyd ducked him...you can never prepare a proper defense for that, because it is what is is.
Everyone was looking for Floyd vs Margarito and this nikka said no, bought himself out his contract, went to Dan Goosen to fight the easier Baldomir for the same money +$1
At this bland attempt to move the goal posts, bringing up something that nothing to do with what we're talking about
Since I don't wanna rehash that topic and if we moving goal posts...then:
But you also don't think Floyd cheated to beat Pacquiao by using 15x the amount of fluid in his IVs that are allowed under the WADA code in a 6 hour period, so there might be some bias involved here on your part as well.
he didnt fight carlos until november and floyd is notorious for having hand problems even 9 years after the fact
read between the lines of the article
they are trying to keep it civil and professional but clearly there are bad feelings between both camps and it s
Arum said Mayweather preferred to await the outcome of the May 6 Oscar De La Hoya-Ricardo Mayorga fight instead of committing to Margarito because he would prefer to fight De La Hoya.
"We're not sitting waiting on De La Hoya," Ellerbe said. "He's in a tough, tough fight with Mayorga."
Many in the sport believe a De La Hoya-Mayweather fight is the biggest fight on the horizon and the only one capable of generating 1 million-plus buys on pay-per-view.
The reason Mayweather opted for the buyout rather than waiting for the May 6 result was because the contract had a limited window for the buyout, one that expired before the De La Hoya fight. However, Arum said he would have extended the window if Mayweather had asked. What Arum wouldn't do, he said, was raise the guarantees for other fights outlined in the contract.
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 himself said in the article floyd was cool was fighting cheato for 8 mil, just not on that date
if Arum gave floyd his money he woulda stayed at top rank and the cheato fight would of happened, simple as that
floyd was thinking 3-4 fights after the fact, cheato was just a foot note in relation tp his long term plans
once he was a free agent, he distanced himself from the camp and the man who said he wasnt gonna blow up and the rest is history
and will yall stop acting like your guys are IV experts
no one knew a damn thing about a topic a month ago and now everyone acting like its they went to school for it
Compare putting concrete in your gloves to vitamins breh
