    Most of the biggest fights in the past few years have been at the MGM Grand.

    there's a ton more. Pac vs May is bigger than all those fights, but we all know that's not even the real issue.

    It's a non-issue now. Arum has agreed on MGM Grand (well, he has indicated that he is willing to agree).

    Arum stated that he and Pac agree to the fight but that Mayweather needs to find a promoter:lol: Im not going to hold my breath just yet.

    When Arum wants to push the date to a week before Floyd goes to jail instead of the already set date of the 5th yes it is the real issue.

    I have just read two articles released in the last few hours - the ones with Pac saying he agrees to the fight.

    It mentions 50/50 split

    It does not say he agrees to May 5th. It does not say he agrees to MGM

    It then says mayweather needs to find a promoter to guarantee his purse.

    No quotes from Arum saying he agreed to a date or venue.

    Absolute dick has been agreed to. The important things like the Date and Venue(which ****ing help me was supposed to be the simple ****) are now unacceptable for princess pacquiao. The split, which Pacquiao said he would take a smaller cut on to make the fight, now has changed. And now Pacquiao is saying Mayweather is holding the fight up because he needs a promoter to guarantee his cut, which is exactly against his business model. Before long they'll bring up the USADA again.

    anyone with the ability the think rationally knows the fight being at MGM on May 5th is perfectly OK.
