@FloydMayweather
I'm ready to fight Pacquiao 5/5/12 Bob Arum know the date can't change I have my guarantee call Schaefer & Al and stop lying to the public
and it continues...
I really don't know why people are bothering to debate about the stadium and why it should or should not be built to host the fight in late may. It's one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard, given the circumstances. After all of the bull**** which has plagued the possibility of getting this fight done, the idea of constructing a temporary outdoor stadium just a very short time before the fight, is pure foolishness when you consider how many problems could arise during construction time (which happens regularly on most building sites), resulting in more delays.
If construction preparations had began already, then it would be a realistic scenario, but the time frame Arum talks of, is nonsense, and when he says things like "the earliest it could be completed is late may".... that pretty much tells you that delays could easily pop up, leaving us all standing around and arguing amongst eachother again, only this time instead of saying **** like "pacquiao, take the test", we will be treated to regular quotes from construction experts being interviewed by the boxing scribes on the subject of who's REALLY holding up progress and other conspiracy theories.... then before you know it, The Super Mario Brothers will be the bad guys for a week because they ****ed up the temporary plumbing for the outdoor restrooms. I'm exaggerating now, but this whole thing is slowly driving me insane.
I really don't know how anyone could take this temporary stadium proposal seriously in this situation.
It should also be obvious why Floyd can not change the May 5th date, and to be fair, why should he? Jesus Christ , Manny can't seem to stand up to his own promoter, he's in no position to tell Mayweather to man up and get more time from the courts. Certainly not in the name of a non existing stadium being completed in a matter of weeks.
I think the fight has to happen now. It would be absolutely humiliating for Pac to avoid the fight.
Boxing fans know that moving the fight to later May would be a big inconvenience to Mayweather, while having the fight on May 5th is no inconvenience to Pacquiao whatsoever. The stadium excuse has crumbled as a result of Bob's own words. There is nothing preventing this fight other than one man's will.

Bob, if you need @GoldenBoyBoxing's phone number give me a call & I'll hook you up. I know you have mine. And let's go Giants!! #BobCallGBP
:439:
No, just a guy trying to figure out why it's impossible to move a date 3 weeks for $40+ million extra in the bag. The sentence was already commuted to June 1st, so there's no conflict. The judge isn't going to say no to a Pacquiao fight when she just commuted the sentence for TBA.
I've been of the opinion since Floyd announced he booked the MGM for Cinco De Mayo 2 weeks before Pac-JMM 3 that he did so with the plan of fighting a Mexican from GBP's stable, this is well documented. All this tweeting just backs up the idea he's using Manny's name to pump up interest for the date he picked randomly without consulting or negotiating with the guy he supposedly reserved it for (see Mayweather-Ortiz 'And yes Manny pacquiao, you're next... I never said that').
Just trying to get some more opinions as to why May 5th is this holy, immovable and why a later date (only 3 weeks) could be MUTUALLY agreed upon and more $ can come of it. June 1st is the jail date, May 19th or 26th in no way affects that.
So... ideas?
I would guess that Mayweather and his team know that Arum is simply blowing smoke up the collective a$$es of the media and the Pac worshippers. Arum has had no contact with Mayweather's camp about negotiating a fight, but tells the media that he needs to build a 40,000 seat stadium to stage the fight. Then he says this 40,000 seat stadium can generate an additional $40 million in revenue. The 17,000-seat MGM Grand would generate $20 million. However, with 23,000 additional seats, Arum can generate $40 million more. Pac sold 55,000 seats in Dallas stadium for the Clottey fight and could only generate $5.5 million in ticket sales. But a 40,000 seat stadium can generate $60 million? The only people who believe this nonsense are Manny Pacquaio and his dimwitted followers.
What is fascinating is how you try to pass yourself off as a fan of boxing by putting a picture in your sig of greats of the past. Why not just be honest and put a picture of Manny Pacquiao in a superman speedo below that idiotic picture of his ugly face on a disney character claiming him to be the PPV king? I think Daffy Duck would be a more suitable character to put his face on.
Hmmmm, interesting idea. Hey, when Floyd-Canelo is announced in the next few days, remember where you heard it first :boxing:
Stopped arguing? When the hell did you start? I've never seen you here before this thread.
If Manny was 'obliged' to the MGM 2 weeks before a Floyd-Someone else fight and claimed he made those arrangements with Floyd in mind, without ever consulting Floyd about it... well, I'd be asking the same questions I am about Floyd. I saw Floyd's play from a mile away, immediately, dude is probably a terrible poker player. I said from the jump, you can ask guys like Imdazed and others, that Floyd did this with the intention of fighting a GBP Mexican. I was called all sorts of ugly, hurtful names 'pactard', etc :(
But then what happened? Stories started pouring out that Guerrero and Canelo were the finalists to win the Floyd sweepstakes. Nothing's changed. Floyd tweeting for attention=announcement for the Canelo fight is coming soon. I'll try to look surprised when it happens.
Fascinating stuff here, really :boxing:

Awaiting the the reaction from Bob and Co.
Why doesn't he call us?
Endless BS.
It's been endless BS since they ran away from the fight to fight Clottey. Manny doesn't want anything to do with FMJ and never has. Arum is a great promoter. He is lying sewer rat, but a great promoter. It's been made much easier by the fact that MP fans idolise him and it really doesn't matter what he does. It wouldn't be any different if he actually did USADA testing and had a positive sample. You think puga, The Prince and the rest of these f*ggots wouldn't spin that???
Because as people keep stating the obvious over and over. His jail sentence was delayed because he has a legal obligation. If he wants to fight on another day he will have to go before the court again and plead with the judge. Bob Arum being a former lawyer knows this and is just using different dates to prevent the fight from happening. Also most likely if he goes before the judge to plead another date theres a possibility of pissing off the judge. Its also time consuming and unecessary when he already has the stadium booked as opposed to Arum that is just calling random dates with no definate stadium or specific date.
Also, I'm sure that if Mayweather already has an agreement with MGM, they aren't going to just say: "oh, you want to fight somewhere else? Go right ahead!" Especially because I don't think MGM was part of the group planning to build the supposed stadium. If Mayweather doesn't fight there he will ruin his great relationship with MGM and possibly get into more legal issues. Arum knows this.
skyscraper in 15 days.
Can't build a temp stadium in 115? :thumbsdow
Oh sorry, I'm mistaken. It's cuts we can't heal in 5 months.
damn man beat me to it Lol
Learn what the word 'average' means :lol1:
You can't wait 3 weeks?
It's not the wait that's the problem. We're just judging from Arum's excuse patterns. If Floyd does accept May 26 or whenever and go through all that tedious process with the judge, judging from Arum's excuse patterns, Bob Arum is most likely going to come up with some other excuse. That 3 weeks can turn to months. Months to years.

Your argument just keep going around in circles. I have a feeling youre just pretending to be more stupid than you actually are at this point. ARUM ADMITTED TO NOT RETURNING SCHAFER'S CALL. GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULL, THAT ALONE MAKES ANYTHING ARUM SAY NULL AND VOID.
You are such a blind and ignorant pactard. I almost forgot why I stopped arguing with you in the first place.
Stopped arguing? When the hell did you start? I've never seen you here before this thread.
Can you openly admit that if it were the other way around and Pacquiao were obliged to MGM May 5th and Floyd said he wanted to make an outdoor stadium, you would have the same opinion? The answer is NO. You are a Pactard through and through and I have read your idiocy on this forum for a long time. Every one of your posts is an ignorant and baseless defense of your idol Manny Pacquiao and a defense to his team.

You are pathetic. Deep down in your pactard heart and spine you know that Pacquiao will lose this fight. You know that these are all excuses, and you know that it is ridiculous to believe you need to construct an outdoor stadium to make this fight happen.
Late at night after you and the knights of the ako pa ha circle jerk around the round table to a poster of a shirtless manny pacquiao, I know you lay your head down and actually find comfort in the fact that this fight has not taken place, and you are happy that Arum drags it out and does not allow it to happen because once it does, your idol is done, and honestly you aren't going to be able to deal with it because your love for Manny pacquiao goes much deeper than that of "just a fan."
