    So far, the excuses that have come out of Team Pacquiao for why Manny can't fight Floyd on Cinco de Mayo are;

    • Manny's cut needs time to heal
      MGM Grand is the wrong venue
      It takes too long to build a "temorpary stadium"
      Golden Boy
      Purse split
      Floyd's boxing license
      Floyd's guarantee
      Not enough time to properly promote the fight
      Marquez IV needs to happen first
      Bob Arum lost his cell phone and deosn't have Richard Schaefer's or Al Haymon's telephone numbers
    Did I miss anything?

    Please feel free to add as the excuses keep rolling out of Team Pacquiao...

    Because Bob Arum isnt married to the date.
    Because Roach thinks the date doesn't leave enough time for promotional purposes :( (We've waited for it for 3 years, lets wait another 2)

    Because Manny Duckiao and Buboy has a romantic date set for May fifth.

    Bob Arum Concerned About Mayweather's Vile Words

    :

    Nov 9, 2011


    Bob Arum was interviewed by Gareth A Davies of the Telegraph, and addressed some of his deeper concerns for a fight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr:


    "One of the reasons I never really was so keen on a Mayweather fight which I now truly believe is an easy fight for Pacquiao is because how Manny is going to be tainted by some of the vile things that Mayweather comes out with. Even though he'll be the good guy, God knows what Mayweather is capable of saying. It's one thing to talk about how much better a fighter he is and Manny can't do this or that, but Mayweather, who has no sensibility in this, is capable of insulting the country. The ignorance is so appalling."

    That's what I said, right... I mean come on.. Pacquiao does his concerts after his fights, why can't he go out with Buboy after the fight? He's gonna be aching, but I'm sure Buboy can take care of that.

    Great thread. I find not enough time to promote the fight to be the funniest one

    Don't forget this classic from November: Marquez getting a rematch is a higher priority since he might get old and deserves the fight more (even though we had no problem making him wait around 4 years after close decisions twice before), plus Pacquiao's pride was hurt by the outcome of that fight.

    :think

    You got to realize Mayweather has worn his DUCK feather's way before Pacquaio become a potential opponent AND he'll be stuck with that for the rest of his life.

    His fans are just deflecting and their USING Pacquiao as their WHIPPING BOY, because they certainly won't take it out their demi-god. Who ****'s gold and farts smell like roses... :lol::smoke:D
