    No **** what happened to Cowboy Stadium? I sure hope Mayweather comes through and stops all this madness.

    Both of these fights are unaccaptable...The Bricklayer doesn't deserve another payday and Cotto will never beat Manny.

    Its Mayweather or bust for Pacquiao. I'm not interested in anything else

    They will fight at 7am in Abu Dhabi and it will be 11pm in New York. Problem solved.

    I listened to the teleconference. Arum said no Abu Dhabi when asked about it, and despite saying he had not negotiated with either the Cotto or Margarito camp he did let it slip that Dallas Stadium had the Nov. 13th date reserved for Pac vs. Cotto. It's definitely going to be Pac vs Cotto, in Dallas. There is no way he makes Pac vs Margarito. In my opinion he's just tossing around Margarito's name for Margarito's benefit. He promotes Margarito also, and knows it's probably making Marg feel all warm and fuzzy inside thinking he has a chance at the Pac sweepstakes. It was always going to be either Foreman or Cotto for the 154lb championship. Always!

    Now if you can just address the opponent issue...

    On a serious note, a Abu Dhabi fight would be great for boxing. I am positive it would be nothing short of the height of class and extravagance. Good for boxing.

    Arums a greedy *****, he stands to make more money for himself putting on a in house event like this than a mayweather fight- which is why he barely tried. this sucks. how much more money does a 70 year old jewish millionaire really need, at this stage why isnt it about putting on the biggest fights for the public for him!?! i dont understand. my life has been on hold for this thing to happen. sucks. its literally been almost over a year since we ve been waiting. so over this- i used to come to this site daily, but this fiasco has killed my love for the sport. if arum cared at all about us- he d make it happen no matter what. he knows as we all do- this fight just needs some ego massaging on either side- and maybe a bit of financial incentive too, its very doable.

    For Pac: Marg doesn't deserve the pay day. Cotto has no chance of winning.

    For May: Anyone I care to see him fight is Middleweight or above, and I can't see him taking on that much risk.


    Awesome :patsch Looks like more fights coming up that the fans don't want, at $60 a crack on PPV.

    Fights I would like to see for them:

    Pac vs. Kahn @ 140

    Floyd vs. Martinez @ MW
