All sides wanted the fight in May because they wanted to set up a superbowl type of promotion.
Because so many casual fans are demanding this fight, they wanted to do extra promotion to try to pull 3-4 mil ppvs.
They feel that with a full media press/coverage blitz (with an extra 24/7 show and many side promotional contest/events and sponsors), that this could be the biggest fight in history.
The causal fans are talking Mayweather vs Pac.
Boxing must keep this momentum.
They could still try to squeeze the promotion into the march date, but there is a chance they could loose out on projected revenue.
All parties involved in putting this type of fight together have to agree on the fight date, --- not just 1 fighter.
