    Ain't that the truth. Thats what he would say if he really wanted to make the fight happen. Instead it seems like he planting seeds to make it a problem and then spin it to it being Mayweather's fault.

    It has nothing to do with the venue or date or site fees or any of that ****. It's merely the gesture. Personally I wouldn't have any issue with it if I were Pacquiao or Arum, but it was very presumptuous on Team Mayweather's part.

    I would like the chance to see this fight live. Dallas Stadium is the perfect venue.

    You've got to understand why the MGM sells. Its obvious. higher demand in a tightly enclosed space.

    Its not even the biggest arena in Las Vegas.

    What presumption? Mayweather is fighting on May 5th at the MGM grand the question is does Manny want to be in that ring across him

    Well for the fighters, and for making the fight happen period, I'd have to say MGM. For the fans, maybe something that could fit a few more people for ticket prices lower than $1500.

    I could have sworn it was Floyd who wanted to honor Nelson Mandela by having "A" fight in Africa.

    Floyd not leaving Vegas Koncz and Arum talked about some imaginary African bid for the fight if I remember correctly but those two have something new everyday.

    Hey I feel you on that ****. Bigger is not nessisarily better. The feel and the history of MGM for big fights is a factor. Its kinda like home court for both fighters. On big fight nights in Vegas, you can feel the electricity in the air. Aint nothing like big fight night in Vegas ( Maybe Madison Square Gardens ):bbb:bbb
