schaeffer and golden boy promotions (GBP) are showing the sleazebags that they are. To not hear the offer of the Dallas Stadium, yet the Staples Center makes an offer? The **** hits the fan when Staples Center is part owned by the same guy who is part owner of GBP! Its not Mayweather, its not Pacquiao, its not Michael Koncz, its not Bob Arum or Top Rank here that's screwing around. Its GBP and their cohorts.

only one reason... in California, the dopping test could have a different result than Vegas...

The *****boys Stadium would of been the best choice outside of Vegas and i hate them Dallas Pansies. But i am glad to see Manny throw a monkeywrench at GoldenBoy plans with AEG and now i just hope we do not see a deal Breaker. I really Hope Mayweather understands That PacMan is the biggest Draw in boxing and just accepts the fight on any terms, since he is sure he will beat Manny. It would go a long way in proving Mayweather is about more than his inflated record and show he is willing to take chances.

What stopped Team Jerry from submitting an offer? Verbally, via fax, or via e-mail?

[al22tec]

Yes he could have just faxed it. But the whole group of promoters were supposed to fly over to look at the facility and hear the offer. When they cancelled, and all these media reports (I am sure Dallas people also read what was being posted in the news), they may have said, ok, never mind. If so, then there would be no reason anymore to show their offer. Just my 2 cents worth.

Floyd fights outside of Las Vegas? I don't remember the last time I've seen him fight somewhere else.

No one noticed how Koncsz said "Manny is gonna lose $3-5 million fighting in LA", then he says, "the tax in CA is 11 percent".

They are gonna make a **** load of money.
