    Top Rank Inc. Bob Arum
    "It's a difficult fight to make, first of all, they've already said that it's May 5. They already said that it's at the MGM. How dare them? I'm really outraged that they made the announcement now right before Manny's fight, and we'll remember that," said Arum.

    "And who are they to say what date that the fight would be held? What kind of of negotiation is that? So, if the MGM gave them May 5, then, Manny may fight somebody else in April in Texas or in the Thomas and Mack. This is not the way to make a deal."

    Hopefully they work this thing out for us fans.

    How is this any different from how Bob Arum had Cowboy Stadium all set up knowing he didnt want the fight with Floyd?

    The fight is not happening in May, Arum already is saying it, he will use this as an excuse that they went about it all wrong etc. etc. etc.

    Dude, Manny's team don't want the fight, and will use any excuse possible to keep from going through with it, and this has been demonstrated over and over.

    Is Floyd afraid to fight in big arenas?

    Why does he only stick with what he knows?

    It SHOULD be in a huge stadium. That gives more fans an opportunity to see the live event, plus it adds a lot to the gate fee.

    Why WOULDN'T he want it in Cowboy stadium unless he's just afraid?

    A bit too soon to jump to conclusions. May is a heck of a long time away for us to predict now what exactly will happen, from just two very vague articles.

    Floyd's not exactly being professional about the way he's looking for Pac, but for ****'s sake Bob, take what you got and then negotiate.

    I think it has to do with the gambling aspect of Vegas which is now his new home as well ..

    Neither wants nor needs this fight, seriously, Mayweather can keep beating up on the Victor Ortiz's of the sport making millions, Pac can keep beating up on past prime aged legends and make millions.

    There have more to loose making the fight than post poning it, follow the dollar. :deal
