    Not holding my breath for Mayweather to man up, I expect he'll invent some other ridiculous stipulation like asking Pacquiao to join TMT.

    Did Bob tell you this?

    There is a lot more that goes into it than the highest bidder. State Tax structure plays a huge role.

    What has CBS got to do with this.

    I always tune out when these magical 3rd parties are supposed to broker a deal.

    Like when those Arabs were "incredibly" serious about making the fight according to Arum.

    Or when people were throwing around Michael Jacksons dads name.

    This fight happens if Showtime and HBO agree to it.
    Period.

    That's my personal opinion, not that of Bop Arum. :D
    They said taxes is very much lower in Macau, China (The Venetian).

    CBS is the parent company (the big boss) of Showtime.

    After the Pacquiao-Algieri fight, Let the Manny Pacquiao vs Floyd Mayweather jr HYPE begin again for 2015, just imagine the build up for this Super Fight IF it does pull through.

    Those fights happened 40 years ago. That business model of promoters having to chase venue money for mega fights is long dead.

    Again, aren't people noticing that whenever either Mayweather or Pacquiao are ready to fight very soon they start to mention each other a lot?. This has been going on since 2009 to clearly hype other fights and people still fall for it.

    Other places/hotels/casinos will try to steal it from MGM Grand (Las Vegas). By what means? By offering more money.

    Maybe it's because of remaining little hope that after fighting that other boxer, the two will eventually fight each other. :bbb
