    unfortunately bob arum did not make it so simple to land the pac fight? the only one with an issue fighting may 2nd (all of a sudden) yet would not put forward any other options or right up any form of a contract. khan is the next best option and atleast may will silence alot of people who say he wont take on anyone with speed.

    not the fight we wanted but the next best thing

    did boxing_master get banned again allready? thats badddd

    Hold up didn't people just say he was ducking Khan? Now he cherry picking him? Which is it?

    Floyd publicly came out and said he willing to fight Pac May 2nd. Arum has publicly stated that fight won't happen on that day. Considering the frosty relationship between Arum and Mayweather do you for one second believe Mayweather will continue any dialogue after that public statement?

    Floyd don't need pac, as soon as the haters get it through their thick skulls, maybe they will put the pressure to make the fight on Arum and not Mayweather.

    but he wants to fight manny aswell he has made this very clear? but what is he to do

    canelo is onboard, oscars on board. manny seems fine its just arum who is all of a sudden worried about putting a non mexican fighter on may 2nd when he has a history of doing it himself ?

    arums never drawn up a contract or any made any real attempt to make the fight for his fighter manny pacquiao who consistantly calls out floyd and makes his wishes for this fight to happen known. but arums still there throwing roadblocks up and saying things like "my next step is to answer the phone"

    :scaredas:

    AGAIN no one wants khan ahead of pacman except for a few british asians

    pacman is what the world wants even khan and his dad said this in interviews

    the constant switching between alts is annoying me.. simply because it takes way to much effort to be doing so. especially on third world country 56k dial up modems

    ok great so what is floyd supposed to do? the may 2nd issue is only an issue for arum. floyd aient going to move from his date, the biggest date in boxing for a fight that is worth a quarter of pac v floyd on its best day

    canelo has stated hed happily move from may 2nd for the megafight so if the one mexican in the equation is not offended what is bob arum still yapping on about.. :verysad why the **** is he even concerned about canelo for ITS NOT HIS FIGHTER TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT!!!

    Oscar even said it in the post fight conf standing with amir "pacman vs mayweather is what the world wants to see khan head his head as he should"

    khan himself knows this and said it in recent interviews

    Floyd needs PAC for the May 2nd date, there are no ifs and buts about that. canelo win gonna budge but he will if ODLH tells him bcus even he knows he can't use Cotto vs Canelo PPV against PAC vs FLOYD PPV

    However Floyd Vs Khan won't happen neither bcus Khan is with Golden Boy and Oscar ain't gonna give them that date when he can beat Floyd Vs Khan PPV with a Cotto Vs Canelo PPV

    Add this to the fact that Arum hates floyd and so wants to make him look weak by giving Up the May 2nd date, or taking the May 2nd date without Pacman and losing to Cotto Vs Canelo in the PPV buys. Because it looks like there isn't anyone floyd fighting other than pacman that will beat PPV buys of Cotto/Canelo

    ok so that means if he does fight khan then its not a cherry pick right? because you just agreed that it was to high of a risk and that it would be suicide for floyd to take on khan at this point?

    no what i said if someone thinks khan style would cause floyd more problems thats under-stable but for me i dont hold that school of thought at ALL!

    But to say people want to see khan vs mayweather is BIG JOKE IT WOULD FLOP
