    I'm a former cop so yes I know about due process. To accomadate PBF, she will just say sure let's change the date. Now, just say she does this and he gets the date Arum professes. Now as soon as it is known via media the date is confirmed, Arum comes up with another date with whatever excuse. Mind you I am not into this *****/******* name calling. Will you and others here then agree that Arum just point blank don't want the fight? I really want this fight and of course I also want PBF to serve his sentence.

    You have to assume to judge okayed this extenuation for the potential economic boon it will provide Vegas. You think she was doing this to be nice? The 3 biggest money events last year in Vegas were either Pac or Floyd fights. Do the math.

    This is how much people worldwide want this fight. Maybe they should send that guy with the bag of cheeseburgers from menace to society to Arum's house.

    After Pac/Floyd there's nothing left that's recent ftm. In a sick way maybe this stalling is a good thing but still the fight has to happen. Just tired of the waiting is all....

    Thats another argument altogether. It's hard to gauge what will happen if there's no actual negotiations happening. You got both sides saying alot of things without anything concrete or on paper. But let's say for example the mayor of Vegas okays this temporary stadium for late May and they start constructing it, then essentially thats as good as saying Pac is on for that date and there should be no reason for Floyd to fight whoever it is in May 5th. Coz if they're both available on that certain later date, there is no ****ing way that fight shouldn't be made.

    Do the math? You're talking about arbitrarily postponing jail sentences. If the construction of this stadium was something that had been planned out before hand then maybe. You act like this postponement was something that came up today, this was negotiated with the plea deal.

    Well, we are just all going to have to wait until Arum comes back with talking to Pac to see what really is going to transpire. We are hearing all this from Arum, but we have not heard from the man himself so let us wait. I want to hear Pac say yes I want to fight PBF this May. With that said, then let the games begin because you know PBF is going to want his demands taken care of whatever they might be.

    No, I said May 5th is more than likely an arbitrary date for a fight to be made. He has to report to jail in June. When I use the word "arbitrary" it means any date before June would've satisfied the essential reason for the extenuation, which is to get a fight made before he gets incarcerated. "Arbitrarily postponing jail sentences" means totally something different. And everything else you wrote after that has nothing to do with the argument.

    Nope. If I'm not mistaken it was mentioned as a compromise by the various Casinos to increase ticket sales to combat the threat of having the fight in Atlanta or Dallas who both made a push for the fight.

    Besides a temporary stadium would be built 24/7 around the clock and probably would be up in less than a month.

    It's not an arbitrary date, that's the point! Mayweather's contractual obligation with the Mgm was one of the main factors in the judge granting the postponement.

    This is where you're getting lost, changing fight dates and changing incarceration dates is not the same thing buddy. Floyd's incarceration was postponed to June, the argument here is changing fight dates to get a Pac fight before he reports to jail........IN JUNE. WTF, why do I have to spell everything out for you.

    You're the one, that for some odd reason doesn't understand, that if a judge postpones your fight so you can fulfill your contractual obligation (with MGM) on a certain date (May 5th) then that's what you better be doing. If an extenuating circumstance comes up, then that's one thing and might be negotiated depending on the judges mood, but it's MUCH easier for Arum to just agree to the MGM. If he doesn't then he just simply doesn't want the fight. Cut and dry.

    Are you from America? Have you ever dealt with a judge?
