    You are dumb as hell if you think for any reason that Bob Arum doesn't want this fight to happen.

    You do realize that the Mayweather fight will fatten up his own pockets 3 or 4times more than any other fight possible right?

    He is no dummy. He was doing this **** when most of us weren't so much as a thought.


    I just think he refuses to take this fight under Floyd's terms. A lot of what he's doing now is out of spite for Floyd, which is pretty dumb, but he calls the shots so what can you do.


    But if anyone thinks for one second that he doesn't want this fight and the truckloads of cash that come with it, you are trippin.

          You don't know that. Honestly, none of us really know what terms and conditions have been set in these talks because of the gag order.

            Um, who said I wasn't pissed?

            I spent $250 on a flight to Vegas, and booked a hotel room and took days off of work to go to what I thought was going to be Pacquiao-Mayweather.


            But really, I'm not going to cry over spilled milk. I have no power over anything going on, so its whatever. I just know that the fight is being pushed back. It will happen, I have no doubts about that. Hopefully nothing happens between now and then to **** it up, otherwise it will be a bad look for the sport.

                The greedy snake is making another Top Rank vs. Top Rank fight.

                Rather then fight Mayweather.

                This is bull ****.

                No Pac fan or Floyd fan should stand for this ****.
                My guess is that he gives Mayweather too strong a chance against Pacquiao. He does not want Mayweather to have a chance at winning a fight against his premier fighter and taking with that win the mythical P4P crown.

                  Please, why blame Arum when Pretty Boy is making up his own rules in this fight and yet can't "Man UP" and just sign the contract and fight. Don't you think 'Lil Floyd is being a bit excessive with the "Drama Queen" act? JAT

                      Lady fan cut the ****. Pac and Floyd are way past the "why test pac" ****. IOts old. This fight hangs in the balance over the cut off date.NOTHING ELSE.

                      Roach said 5 days is fine.

                      Floyd offered 14.
