Floyd made the biggest purse of his career at that time when he fought Baldomir. He wasn't just fighting for the belt, he was fighting for more than 8 million dollars. That was the biggest paycheck available to him at that moment. Oscar wasn't ready to give him a shot yet, and Cotto hadn't even fought at 147 yet, and hadn't really made a name for himself yet.
