When will a reporter ask Bob Arum about the risk involved in building a 38.000 seat stadium to be completed on a specific date to be used as soon as it's done? One delay will kill the fight. According to Wiki:
"In construction projects, as well in other projects where a schedule is being used to plan work, delays happen all the time"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Construction_delay
Factors leading to delays are too many to chance:

Think if 5 weeks before the fight they run into a delay and just say "ooops... sorry Floyd... stadium wont be ready until early June.... have fun in jail :wave: ... hello Cotto".
Arum's late May plan is submerged head & shoulders in irresponsiblity and nobody thinks to ask him about it.
I just don't understand.
i would bet anything that this stadium never even gets started being built. arum isn't spending that kind of money to build this stadium for a "test run" in june for a fight in november that likely won't even happen.
Why would they waste money they have to spend to get materials, equipment, and to pay the constructors when they can just make the fight in May 5th and get the highest PPV records ever??
erm, common sense could have saved you those 5 minutes.
Didn't know this was common sense

The point was to give a clearer understanding of the risks involved and possibility of a delay. Maybe that was common sense to you (doubt it) but may not have been to others.
arum can still make any fight he wants in the new stadium on june 9th, but pac will fight floyd may 5th. maybe there will be a rematch on the stadium then. where's the problem?
Many delays last months to years. Google it. You can't predict the time of a delay.
Ok dude. Whatever. I dont care. Your thread was when a reporter was gonna ask him. I just told you its already been done and how both sides responded. You take it however yoh wanna take it.
They could hire 500 Mexican's or 1,000 Chinamen (they're choice) and that sh!t will be done in two weeks, flawlessly.
Whoa kinda racist there.. Put a poll on this thread. Lets settle this once and for all. Better cheap labor. Mexican -vs- Chinese??
Obvious troll is hella ****ing obvious.
Used to be funny, now it just looks desperate. Hope hes at least getting paid to look like a fool in front of all these people.
its arums job as mannys promotor to maximize profits for his client !!!!!! and what better way to do that than to build a a new arena !!!! the facts are mayweatehr is scared or he would just push the date back to late may !!!!

:haha:
He did get asked. it could get done by may 5th just fine but they prefer late may in case any problems arise.
Haymon had the same concern but the other way around. If late may and stadium delays arise and floyd had to go to jail without a fight.
