    Mayweather can simply respond: I want pacquiao in May. I want him on top of the list. No ifs, no buts. I want Arum to listen to Pacquiao. And the May 5 i reserved was really for Mayweather - Pacquiao.

    Arum is going to do what he wants, he does not care about what people think/say.

    He already has two lined up, The cut of doom is keeping Manny out and he will save Manny from himself.

    There isn't time to build a temporary stadium.

    Both are lies of course but that won't stop Bob.

    Losing patience in both of them. Pacq with his cherrypickings and Floyd with his "I fight once a year, like a superbowl" attitude. Ortiz and Marquez were suppose to be super fights too huh? Big money but we all knew Mayweather would win against two guys who showed no threat to him. Tired of him letting his "0" justify him than his lack of a resume. May go back to saying screw them both soon.

    I know I am losing faith in boxing as a whole. Professional prize fighting is pretty much all business, zero sport now. The fans and the lesser known fighters are who will always be screwed out. I put a lot of that blame on GBP and HBO being in bed together. Not all, but a lot.

    I agree with you Lance, but I find it laughable you have no mention of Arum in that mix. Unbelievable that you protect Arum in such manner, I dont think his mother would have anything good to say about him.

    Old fights help keep me a fan because even though there was still corruption at least most of the fights that needed to happen got done. Nowadays we get more greed and promoters hyping fighters into being the next best things without them facing the best compo they can. Imagine Sanchez/Gomez or SRL/Hearns 1 not happening because of ego? Risky fights like those made fighters great even if they went on to lose(Nelson/Sanchez, Duran SRL 1 for ex) them which is what the big time promoters fail to realize now.

    That's what I don't understand. He's the superstar and the promoter... promotes fights. I understand how lesser fighters have to give complete control to the promoter, but if you are the superstar the name that brings in over a hundred million of total revenue, you have more control than the promoter.

    I agree Bob wants atleast 1 or 2 more fights before they cash out on Mayweather.
