Arum says Mayweather-Pacquiao perfect for November!

Lawyers are a tricky bunch, very good at making people say, "Oh, I hadn't thought of that". He says November now to get everybody to stop screaming at him, but then he'll say that if Floyd goes to jail in June, he won't get out until August or September. He'll make the "perfectly reasonable point" that how can anybody really believe that Floyd and Manny would be able to negotiate the fight, confirm the fight, train and properly publicize the fight in only two months? He thinks FOUR months isn't enough time between now and May 5th.

So of course, there will be a large number of people who will hear that and say, "Ohh, yeah, that's a good point. We should have thought about that".

In the meantime, Pacquiao WILL fight in November, and of course will require at least 5 months to heal, publicize the fight and train.

Ah, but Floyd almost certainly won't want to be laid off that long before fighting Pacquiao, so he'll want to take an interim fight to warm up. He won't want to take it too close to Pacquiao's own fight, which means it's more likely to be in January or February. Meaning he won't be ready for the May 5th 2013 date that Arum really wants to use for Manny to fight a Mexican warrior...like Brandon Rios.

But after the Rios fight...Floyd is "definitely" next.

This should be posted in every thread the least bit sympathetic to Arum's position.

Arum does not call the shots !!!
No fight with Arum in the picture.

This does sound like something Arum would do.

its perfect, unless pac gets cut again and has to be postponed to 2013
who cares at this point, pac has no balls to speak for himself...good luck running a country (or will bob be advising you on that too)

Great post.

Arum does it again, Nov would be a BEAUTIFUL time to fight, May is impossible with Manny Pac's severe cut injury.

Floyd didn't suffer any injury from Ortiz fight but his trainer said fighting Pac after Ortiz is CRAZY.

I swear you idiots have multiple alts OR you actually have ******* meetings on what to say.

In the same interview, Roger also said this:

So *******s take what they want from interviews. Plus, that was before the Ortiz fight. He thought his nephew would have ring rust, turns out, he didn't.

So Mayweather won't have the time to train for a fight in November because he will only just have gotten out of jail? That's what you get for preferring to fight your wife over your rivals.

Uncle Rico · Jan 9, 2012

Of course it would, Mayweather would have spent some time in jail before then.

Earliest this fight happens, if ever, is May 2013.

But Pac's cut might not be healed by then! Also, PBF will just becoming out of jail (which was supposedly the problem this time). I like Pac but Arum is a F'n *****.

You idiot. Of course Pac's cut will be healed by then. But there's no way they'll be able to finish that new Cloud City-inspired floating stadium hovering half a mile above the streets of Las Vegas by then.
