    Pac's team/Roach can always hire an expensive lawyer to move the court date I assume.

    Good pts BewareofDawg. Still scared..May vs. Marquez was postponed due to a "rib injury." It's happened before and it can happen again. Although for revenue purposes, a fight around Cinco de Mayo would be the best, strategically.

    Why would you see it as the MGM hurting the fight?? They've hosted a bazillion fights. The only difference is in this fight one side seems to want out... or least it's looking that way with the stupid **** they are pulling.

    I thought you were saying The MGM was at fault. You think Team May wants out? My bad. I just think its gotten too big at this point. if Floyd pulled out he really would be crucified. By the fans, media, Showtime and he'd feel it in his next fights sales. I just don't see them doing it.

    The contract is between the MGM and TMT since they are the lead promoter. And the plot thickens...

    I'm not saying the fight won't happen. I'm just saying I'm having some intuitions that it won't happen in 2 weeks.

    I hope it happens on May 2nd. I bought a $40 fight poster with the date clearly printed on it. I'd have to sharpie that and put a new date if it gets cancelled for another date. I will be extremely ****ed because it's a bada$$ poster.

    TMT should not be lead promoter on this fight. 1st mistake.

    Ya do know you could go to Comcast, DirecTv, or your cable provider; they usually have posters advertising fights.

    Also, sports bars, restaurants also receive fight poster, you can always ask the manager for the poster...!!!

    LOL! I didn't know that. But it's not a generic poster they have everywhere. It's a limited edition one that was sold out quickly. It looks like a poster you see when Jack Johnson was fighting lol.

    Because a half billion dollar fight isnt going to be called off 10 days before it happens, after promotions have been paid for etc etc etc

    Its like Arum said, even if theres no one there to see it, the fight will still go ahead.

    its not a half a billion fight before it has made half a billion. Right now they cant even sell the ****ing tickets. No promotion whatsoever from TMT is the main reason.

    You got bloody amateurs running the show. Expect the PPV to be low also.
