Arum wont let Mayweather fight Pac in Vegas because Mayweather can use Xylocaine to numb pain in his hands. That's why Arum been trying to throw out wild ass locations like Cowboy Stadium instead of the only place megafights should be, Vegas. Arum is trying everything to weaken Mayweather, including make Mayweather fight Pac only in places where Mayweather can hurt his hand and be easier to beat.
Pac fought @ Texas because the cheater plaster of paris couldnt get a license at Vegas. plain and simple. ARUM supports cheaters.
it's very clear Arum doesn't want the fight and anybody supporting him is a ho. Floyd went and made the first move and he'll fight on that date with or w/o Pacquiao, but that's his mean priority. Arum needs to stop this crap
Floyd has not fought outside of Las Vegas since the rumor that he uses xylocaine for his hands came out. Correct me if I am wrong, but any other state would test him for this, but Nevada does not. Also Pac needs to dump Arum and make the fight. I am tired of him pushing back and saying that he will fight whoever his promoter puts in front of him.
I've said it all along. The biggest barrier to this fight happening is not Floyd Mayweather or Manny Pacquiao or drug testing or money, it's Bob Arum.
word also i think that arum is mad because floyd got may 5th aka cinco de mayo on lock. floyd just pulled a chess move. now the ball is in manny/arum court.
If they with the MGM they are quaranteed a sell out caus ethey can jack up tickets prices as well as ensure they beat all previous box office records. Even though Texas holds way more people, they cannot charge 1,000 dollars for 20th row seats cause they wont sell them all in Texas. Its all about the money. And for once i hope Bob Arum puts his pride down and just makes the freakin deal already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For the sake of the sport!!!!!!!!!
I don't understand why you got all these other BIG named fighters fightin in STADIUMS, yet Mayweather won't step up to the plate. Why? Take him out of his comfort zone and see how he responds. All the greatest fighters from the past at one point fought in a HUGE stadium. Mayweather expressed interest in doing before, so why not do it now? This is the biggest fight that can be made. Put it in a HUGE stadium. If you elevate the pressure, you'll elevate the excitement.
For once I agree with you This is Arum Bull****, all May is saying is May 5th, Pac or not, I am fighting but is putting it out there, and giving team Pac more than ample time to negotiate and put the fight together, ball is in Team Pac's court.
If Manny and Floyd dont fight each other after the marquez fight, then entire world of sports fan should boycott their next matches!! It will teach their promoters a lesson...
