    true, but what i meant was what happened to the Ferocious Pacquiao who had that killer instinct? seems to me that after the Cotto fight, he lost that killer instinct.

    Clottey - UD.
    Margarito - UD.
    Mosley - UD.
    Marquez - MD.

    :lol:

    Fairly easy answer to be honest.

    May 5 is booked.

    MGM generates massive money.

    Both Pac and Floyd have fought early May at the MGM in the past few years.

    Makes perfect sense.

    Why add a potential block on the fight by requesting a late May date at a "to be constructed" stadium?

    Nasty. Pac said his cut is fine though. Arum can't use that excuse anymore.

    You may not be interested in expearencing the live atmosphere & vegas buzz in the build up to a live Mega-Event but 1000,s of other fight fans do. I myself & 1000's more just from the UK do the 12000 mile round trip to attend when opportunity affords. If this fight takes place at the MGM then no ****er has an earthly of getting a ticket without being $$$$$$$$$ raped. It'll just be another attendee photo-shoot celeb fest:twisted:

    So lets do it for the real fans of boxing who are willing to travel the globe to support their man. There's only one ***** who's been the problem from the start & thats Mayweather. I don't give a crap about being sat outside on a hot Vegas evening, been there! done it! But all this shite about it's got to be the MGM May 5th is just bull****!! The more people that get this chance to witness live this once in a generation SuperFight the better:deal

    I actually couldn't give a sh*t when the fight happens, as long as it does.

    And how ****ed up would it be if Arum and Floyd were planning all of this all along.

    Yet the fight being held at the MGM before was never an issue yet somehow now it is? This is nothing but a roadblock from Bob Arum.

    I just find it funny that all of a sudden Arum comes up with this outdoor stadium reasoning. How come it wasnt discussed the first time the fight was a possibility? Seriously Pac fans, cant you just admit that it was Team Pac doing the ducking all along? I dont get it why you guys are still trying to defend Pac and his team.

    PAC already give in to Floyd's OSDT and purse sharing (Floyd gets lion's share) demands. Why Team Floyd can't give in to Team PAC's requested date and venue?

    This isn't true though. Floyd and his team were also to blame in past talks about the fight. This time though, It does seem to be a different story altogether.

    No. Evidence suggests that it has been Team Pac all along. Team Pac would say one thing and contradict it the next to try and make it seem that Floyd was ducking.
