Answer 1

That was actually about two years ago but is as much true today as it was then.....and now people agree with me when i say Floyd is not the P4P champ ..... all i can say is about time

Answer 2

you would too if you wanted to remain undefeated...lol

Answer 3

yeah thats a good video! I saw before but still enjoy it. If I am not mistaken Floyd took the fight and then backed out with some bogus excuse. I personally think Floyd wants nothing with Margarito... Unlike Hatton who was small at 147 lbs, Margarito is HUGE!! He WOULD get roughed up! There is no doubt on my mind. So until Mayweather grows some you know what I think he is all hype and all TALK.

  *** Your stupid Jose J! LOL!! do you know anything about boxing? Most guys have to cut weight and gain a good amount the next day.. Hatton came in barely at 147 lbs (at the weigh in he was at 144 lbs!). while mayweather was over 150 lbs.. Margarito he probably goes up around 155 lbs or so... So is 147 lbs the same as 155 lbs?? you do the math smart guy.

Jessica go get you some logic. PBF paid Arum 750,000 to get out of his contract because he only had one year left on it. Thats not a fine but getting out of your contract. Every since PBF left Arum, he has had the biggest pay day. I wonder why Cotto doesn't have the money to put up. Arum is probley taking all of it. Cotto might be dropping his butt too.  PBF filed a law suit against Arum for not paying him the rest of his money on two fights. Arum admitted he owe's PBF but not going to pay him. You can look it up on the web, the story is on there. That's how the wrong info get out. PBF is not the only fighter that droped Arum. Arum and Mayweather Sr. are friends and that's why PBF fired both of there butts. At the time, PBF said Margarito havent beat a elite fighter and dont bring money in. Margarito vs Paul, was only a mil. Cotto hasn't sign the fight with Margo because of PPV issue and money being brong in. Simple put, Margo dont bring money in. Margo career is on life support with every fight he fight, not PBF. Margo barely got past Clottey with a injured hand. Margo has spent most of his career trying to get back on top, not PBF. Golden Boy promotion dont even see eye to eye with Arum. This is the article

Fight gets personal between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Bob Arum

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is suing his former promoter.

Without fanfare, which is a rarity in boxing, Floyd Mayweather Jr. filed a lawsuit against his former promoter, Bob Arum of Top Rank, in Clark County (Nev.) District Court two weeks ago.

Mayweather claims that Arum shortchanged him on matches against Arturo Gatti in 2005 and Zab Judah in 2006. In the lawsuit, Mayweather said he was due 85% of Top Rank's revenue from the Gatti fight and 80% from the Judah fight. He claims Arum has refused to turn over the records for accounting. Mayweather has asked for the statutory minimum of $10,000 on each of the five counts, but would be in line for millions in punitive damages on a breach of contract claim.

This could get ugly before it's over, making it the heavyweight slugfest of the year.

In a strange twist, Arum admits that he owes Mayweather money and said he has told Mayweather's reps why he isn't giving it to him.

"There's no question we owe him some money," Arum said. "There's no dispute there. But he owes us a lot of money, and the people he's involved with owe us even more. After 98% of the money we owed him was paid, we stopped paying him for a reason.

"We're owed ... in the millions. We welcome this lawsuit. We wanted it to be filed. We have counterclaims and cross claims against certain other individuals involved with Mayweather. This is just the opening salvo in a major battle."

Arum and Mayweather parted ways in 2006 after Mayweather paid $750,000 to buy out his contract. That was triggered by Arum's refusal to guarantee Mayweather $20 million to fight Oscar De La Hoya, another Top Rank client, who successfully sued Arum to get out of his contract in 2001. Last year Mayweather and DeLa Hoya hooked up without Arum and fought in one of the highest grossing Pay-Per-View boxing events ever. Mayweather earned more than $30 million for the fight, and the two have planned a rematch for September.

Mayweather believes that Arum stymied his career during the time that he was promoting both Mayweather and De La Hoya (from 1996-2001).

Answer 5

victor lozoya,larry dixon,and rodney jones....do you know who any of these guys are no don't feel bad most people don't these guys are nobodies.but funny enough they all have one thing in common they beat margarito.mayweather isn't nervous and he isn't stupid he can make 8 million anywhere.he knows margarito is a nothing fighter who loses to c**p fighters.why waste your time on that.so no he isn't scared of margarito

Answer 6

yes those guys beat margarito on points and margo was 15 years old...if mayweather wouldve started fighting in the pro's at the age of 15 he wouldve got a spanking! and mayweather payed $750,000 fine to get out of a contract with top rank so he can avoid margarito and 3 months later floyd chose to fight an over the hill baldomir with over 10 losses for less money...mayweather fans dont understand logic,do you want to watch the best match ups?or your just cheerleading the get rich scheme against over the hill war torn opponents?

Answer 7

ya man this is old news, 2 years back with margarito,

Answer 8

gonz what do you mean hatton is small at 147 and margarito is huge at 147??????Thats stupid hasnt your dad ever told you that 1 pound of feathers is the same as 1 pound of steel.Whether you are slim or stocky 147 is 147.

Answer 9

mayweather will not mess with any top welters guarantee not the winner of margo cotto not anyone .

Answer 10

When someone claims they fight for the money and turns down a fight for less money. d**n right he's avoiding him and then when you say "we'll meet later down the line when hes bigger and better" and since then he's held two diffrent titles and two yrs have passed and you still havent faced him. Well then Floyd isnt just ducking he's in hiding.

And to Jose J when someone made a comment that said "He to big at 147" He meant with his height and reach. I guess someone isnt much of a  critical thinker huh!
