In the cut
Bob should have just gave him the money he wanted but we know how Top Gank rolls. According to the Devil himself Bob Arum stated Floyd would have took 8 million for Chetto but wanted a guaranteed 10 million for Cotto and Hatton and 20 million for De la Dildo. We know Bob turned that down because he didnt want to give Floyd that money in fact he went on and famously said Floyd would never get a $1 over 8 million which of course is why he ended up fighting Baldi for 8,000,001 just to prove a point. Everybody with a brain knows Chetto would have been thoroughly outboxed and outclassed by Floyd, thats easy work! Blame the Great Satan Bob Arum for this fight not happening because its all on him at the end of the day. You know Bob regrets that shyt now.

Why would a man who's ppvs avg around 350k deserve guaranteed $10 and $20 million purses...
I believe what you're trying to say is Floyd priced himself out

In the 3rd video says Margarito was offered the date in April '06 (that eventually went to Zab) but didn't want to cancel a fight he had lined up against a Journeyman to make the fight happen.
These "Floyd ducked *insert boogeyman boxer* " theories are slowly being destroyed and people cant stand it. Like when Roach dropped that ether about Pac's team being responsible for the fight not happening in 2010. Imagine all the gems that will come out now that he is retired.

Big difference between a 37yr old boxer and a 29yr old boxer.

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.

But people cant say he ducked them because he ended up fighting them and making much, much more money. So this is a Bob Arum mistake. Floyd gambled on himself and won big.
This begs the question....since you got it all figured out in regards to who & what would supposedly give Floyd all these "problems"...why weren't you championing Maidana all these years as a serious threat to Floyd instead of a guy that only managed to win 2 rds against him?
So 10 Million guaranteed for Cotto & Hatton and 20 Million for De La Hoya is "pricing himself out" even though just one fight later after leaving Arum he would earn 8 Million against fukkin' Carlos Baldomir...and a year after that he would exceed the guaranteed purses that he proposed to Arum against De La Hoya & Hatton.
If anything...Floyd undersold his market value to Arum. And Arum was either just too greedy or flatout terrible at his job (in that instance) because he had no foresight or understanding of Floyd's earning potential. And the earning potential of all those fights. And it cost him an absurd amount of money in the end.

Exactly
10yrs from now people will regret their deep hatred(s) for Floyd and miss his boxing ability. People all furious his 'last' two fights were a brutal sonning of Berto and a milder sonning of the #1 Floyd boogeyman manny
I don't know about that because floyd made 25 mill against oscar and hatton in 07.
Yep dude made 40 mill against cotto
