I think Floyd might give in on the later date...when Floyd was fighting Oscar he gave into a lot of their demands...
:deal plain as day. I can't stand how ANYONE could still believe its mayweather who is stopping this happening
Of course he would reject it. We all know that prior to Bob Arum landing in the Philippines, Manny's cut was fine and May 5th was a go. After Bob gets to him, it's still a go...but not on May 5th. These guys know full well that Floyd was given a pass to fight on May 5th. With that said, asking for 2 or 3 weeks is their way of ducking the fight. They're trying to do it in a way where they can explain it away but it's not going to work. Most of the Top Rank cheerleaders have began to shred Bob Arum including Big Dan from ESPN. It's time for the truth of the matter to set in. Anyone who posts a thread saying that Floyd's scared needs to get their head checked out. The excuses are coming from one side. The same side that said Pac-JMM would take place on May 5 at the MGM. Now that Floyd has gotten a pass on the 90 days, it's a different tune. Bob don't want and neither does the Pacman if he falls right in line with his promoter. Either he bosses up to Arum or he's scared too.
All this drama in the fights reminds me of Spartacus. I'm a call Bob, Bob Batiatus. Now if we can just get a nude shot of Miss Jackson that would make up for all this negotiating
Nah, ducking means not actually wanting to fight. When you say you actually want to fight then, hmm....you actually want to fight. That's what team Pac said right? THEY WANT TO FIGHT in late May. They laid out their terms and is reasonable enough. Late May date, Arum willing to chip in with lawyer fees for an extenuation request, and someone outside of TR guarantees Floyd's purse. How you construe that as ducking is beyond me.
Floyd could just post on his twitter or whatever gay social network he uses that he'll take the fight on the date Pacquiao wants.. But NO that's out of line, Pacquiao needs to accept everything Floyd says.
Just another sad chapter in the ever-growing Mayweather-Pacquiao saga. It's one side's fault, next time it's the other's, then it goes back and forth. Both sides trying to dictate and win the PR war. If only the fighters were as passionate on proving their superiority over the other as their rabid fanbases are, we would've had this bout a long time ago.
What the **** are you talking about? Why can't they fight on this date, or that date, why can't they fight here or there or everywhere...I mean this sounds like some Dr. Suess ****, the offer was for May 5th, venue is set, testing is set, splits are set, now it's just a bunch of Top Rank/Arum/Manny bull**** keeping this fight from going off. It's common sense to anyone that's isn't a slobbering ******.
So you have no substantiation, exactly my point, you're repeating something that was literally made up with no model or information to support it. Cool, all you had to say was it was "made up", that would have been sufficient.
Well **** no they aren't going to address it, because they saw it somewhere and simply began repeating it with absolutely no hesitation. Even though this "30 million" is idiotic and if it were such a great money maker why the **** wouldn't you use it for every big fight? This fight is simply the latest "Big Fight" but it's certainly not the only "Big Fight", and the MGM has been fine for many of the others...there's nothing logical about these guys anymore, they are just making **** up at this point because the facts, clearly show Manny/Arum don't want the fight.
May 5th is of NO SIGNIFICANCE to the fight. Pacquiao is not MEXICAN. As long as its before Floyd gets locked up i dont see what the problem is. And as long as Golden Boy is putting up the money on Floyd's end, and all sticking points already agreed to, there shouldnt be a problem
