    Building a stadium my ass. More like building a wall (of excuses) to protect his cash cow. This old ****er is a cancer to the sport.

    I believe everyone understands what you are saying and I am with you, but PaoloMirani has a valid point that they can go back to court. I am in the middle because I truly believe even if the date is changed something else will be brought up and there goes the fight and everyone loses. We just need to hold on and wait to see what is it Pac wants to do. Hopefully, he states he wants to fight on May 5th after reading all these articles. Arum is the problem not the fighters, but I will be very interested on what Pac states.

    They "could" go back to court. The problem with defending this "build a temporary stadium" stuff isn't really even about the courts. It's the fact this has to be at least 10th reason Arum has given for not making the fight on May 5th since Floyd called Pac out. Arum went from being offended before the JMM fight

    http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/stor...quiao-promoter-floyd-mayweather-jr-fight-joke

    to saying floyd wants to fight Morales.

    http://pinoysport.com/bob-arum-floyd-mayweather-jr-actually-wants-erik-morales/

    He went from allegedly telling GBP they wouldn't negotiate with a Floyd fight

    http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/i...aide-says-manny-pacquiao-camp-even-talk-fight

    to claiming that there were meetings (where pac fans assumed there negotiations):

    http://philboxing.com/news/story-63475.html

    then a day ago, May 5th is an option to fight JMM but with Floyd it's a cut or a stadium or what?

    We're not just talking about the stadium. All of this history is included

    Giving Arum that much leverage is never good, but I understand.

    i think that Floyd already has a fight set up without Pac, and Arum already has plans for Pac that don't involve Floyd. The fight will have to wait until the fall/winter, which is pretty sad.

    Mayweather delays his sentence and Pacquiao is still ducking?

    In the words of Bunk, ' Makes me sick mother****er, how far we done fell ! '

    I'm saying I don't think he wants to. He probably thinks that another Floyd negotiation would be another bust like the last two times.

    Where have all the *******s gone??????????

    Its only a matter of time when all the *******s turn on Arum, its going to happen soon when Arum milks Manny by putting him in high risk fights and at the end of his career Manny will probably have upto 6 losses.

    And then Floyd will have the last laugh!

    It's official. Arum is the reason why the fight ain't happening.

    I hope FMJ does something to push the envelope and cause Pac to DEMAND Arum to do everything to make the fight happen.
