    Who did he steal from? By under-reporting PPV? Don King stuff?

    1. He's a lawyer
    2. He's a moneychanger
    3. He's everything that Albert Einstein disliked.

    His activity level for his age is rather amazing, though.

    "Yesterday I was lying today I'm telling the truth"

    Yesterday: Marquez needs to beat a legit welterweight if he wants a fight with Pacquiao
    Today: Marquez is first on our list of opponents

    Yesterday: Manny is a natural 140 lber and can't come up to 154 (for Martinez)
    Today: Manny is a welterweight and can't come down to 140 (for Marquez)

    Yesterday: They weren't willing to compromise
    Today: They offered us a 14 day cutoff

    Yesterday: Mayweather is the best fighter I've seen since Ali
    Today: Mayweather has been picking his opposition carefully

    Yesterday: Pacquiao agreed to all of Floyd's demands
    Today: We want a 7 day cutoff

    Yesterday: Mayweather would never fight Mosley, he'll duck him because Mosley has the worst style for Floyd
    Today: Floyd cherry picked Mosley and waited for him to get old

    Yesterday:

    Remember the whole Mayweather incarceration bs?

    Floyd said May 5, lets do the fight against Pacquiao.
    Arum said Floyd is a bully and should **** off with that BS.
    Then Mannys cut would not heal by May 5

    Boom! Suddenly FLoyd might have his fight cancelled due to the incarceration and Manny will be on May 5.

    Floyd sentence gets pushed back and all of a sudden Arum wants to build a bigger stadium or whatnot because the fight is too big. The only problem being that It will take too long to build and May 5 is not an option :lol::lol::lol::lol:
