    “If it’s Mayweather, it will probably be in May or June, and if it’s somebody else, it will probably be in April,” he added.

    This is what he really said. Nothing has been set in stone and Mayweather hasn't said a peep about wanting to fight Pacquiao and plays stupid whenever Pacquiao's name is mentioned.

    Arum said this post fight

    While Freddie Roach made very clear his preference for Manny’s next opponent being Marquez, Arum said they would have to get together and decide as a team over the next couple of weeks. In any case, the date for Pacquiao’s next fight is set: April 12, 2014, at a venue in the United States.

    The link above is from b.scene so just add that in and you will see Arum never said that bull****.

    Thank you. Now tell him to call Espinoza back so someone can mediate this thing and make it happen.

    Now here is the issue.

    Arum already has one fighter signed and lined up to fight APRIL 12 on that undercard over at the scene. Khabib

    Doubt that bc its not that serious. Also Arum is already working on the April undercard. Hasn't returned any calls from Showtime or called Shaefer who has been waiting on him for over a year.

    No one is signed to anything idiot. I read the article and it was all talking about possibilities with keywords "likely", "eyed", "targeted" all over the place.

    How can Arum make the fight when Mayweather is scared to even acknowledge Pacquiao? "Pacquiao who?" shows the biggest coward involved.

    the thing is, when espinoza just took over showtime, arum/tr called to see if they can get any boxing dates, espinoza wouldn't take their call and he didn't call them back.

    anyway, here's what arum's solution which seems reasonable.

    That's the only way it would happen IMO there is no way HBO/Show let that fight get through their fingers.


    But will HBO work with GBP fighters?
