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 the problem it's Floyd and arum. And if arum goes, we still are not sure if this fight will ever be made, because health comes first, pillow gloves, A-side, I didn't say I was gonna fight him? All that is on Floyd's alibi side, must we not forget.
It's arum and Floyd problem. Both of them are stopping this fight.
Arum doesn't want to close the deal because Floyd is law balling Pac. He is after all asking for what's due Pacquiao. I think that's the main issue here, arum don't want to agree to Floyd's law balling demands. As a result he isn't taking Floyd seriously.
In Floyd's side, he is over pricing himself so that this fight won't get made. 2 interests. One is a coward the other is just asking for fair shake. Which we all know Floyd won't give.Last edited by Spoon23; 12-31-2014, 02:34 AM.

Think about it for a second, how can you expect Arum to say yes when Floyd was not making big money back then? Could you imagine if Floyd lost to Margarito and guaranteed all those other fights for that money, Arum would be losing money big time. So like I said, Floyd intentionally priced himself out.
When its others like Canelo saying it for only 1 fight, Floyd gets it ...... "Canelo should be thinking about Trout instead of me guaranteeing him a fight if he joins my undercard. What if Canelo loses? Make Canelo beat Trout first then we may talk ....."
BTW - Oscar fight didn't happen that year. Floyd went on to fight Baldomir with no guarantee that he would fight Oscar the following year. Also, Arum had Margarito waiting a long time until Floyd decided on Baldomir not Margarito.
