Why are Arum & Pac insisting that they can only fight at the END of May?

    I don't understand why they are insisting "if" they were to consider the fight taking place it would take place at the end of May, that would leave absolutely no leeway should either fighter get injured they wouldn't be able to postpone that would force a cancellation! Why risk it?

    Also I dont understand where this temporary stadium B.S has come from either, we have never heard a mention of this before in the nearing 3 years of this saga, is Bob Arum forgetting that we all saw Oscar vs Floyd was done in MGM with no issues!

    Lastly since Manny has come out and said his cut is fine I don't understand why not just go for May 5th? Two weeks ago when you thought Floyd was going to jail you said you would be willing to fight on May 5th, so whats changed?

    Thoughts ESB?

    Because it's impossible for the fight to be made then.

    It appears they don't want the fight at this stage.

    its about Arum not wanting to bow down to what floyd wants


    Floyd booked the MGM on May 5th and Arum doesnt like anyone else to call the shots

    Arum is the worst thing that has happened to Manny, all his fights are in house and that greedy Jew is really starting to **** me off

    Honestly, the whole thing is a farce. The two parties are playing a game of ‘who can avoid each other and pin the blame on the other the best’. Absolutely pathetic. Never before have we seen such childish antics when it’s come to making a fight. Between securing a date and venue without consulting the other promoter, having one of two possible opponents already secured whilst pretending to call out a third, magically healing and un-healing cuts that don’t exist, demanding to fight a man when he’ll be in prison, etc, it all just makes you wonder what the **** are you two playing at.

    And guys, to save ourselves the time, don’t expect this fight to happen in Nov/Dec, either.

    May 2013 at the earliest, if ever.

    This is another way to duck the fight.


    Pacquiao says that he can fight on May 5th at the end of the Marquez III fight :

    Psycho advantage against someone who's about to go to jail. That's what I'm seeing.

    This.

    Or maybe Arum not wanting Floyd to have that money that came from the bidding.

    Bidding happens to decide which venue the fight would take place, in other words Money.

    I dont get it why is may 5th so important, could be any other date in may as well right? Or is it because floyd reserved the mgm?
