    To answer your question....I think about a week ago when Bob started to say the fight was dead. I think he started working on a backup plan and also may have told Jones about a possible pac fight in Dallas if the fight falls through.

    Nothing wrong with that. He is in the business to make money and Im sure he saw this fight falling through a while back. Pac is his cash cow and why would you put all your eggs in one basket by only having one plan for March 13th.

    BTW...Remember that Clottey pullled outta his upcoming january fight not too long ago. Arum must have told him he had a shot at pac even back then.
    I said that.

    And people laughed at me..

    I said this **** was a set up from jump street.

      There both with Arum, Arum called clottey, 'you wanna fight pacquiao?', clottey sed yes make it happen. Nothin fishy about that, it was a backup plan by Top Rank.

        Hey bro I think I am going to this fight. I have never been in a fight that it was in a stadium. I want to feel that atmosphere. Casino are cool but sometimes is gets lame. This something new. I just don't know if I should drive to Dallas or take a plane...

          It's not fishy, Top Rank went to Dallas Stadium during the negotiation for Mayweather/Pacquiao so I guess they talked about other fights.

            The fight is easy to make, Clottey is signed to the same promoter as Pac and Clottey has NO leverage, Even i could make that fight in 2 minutes.

              Arum had it in his head for a while. I wouldn't be surprised if Arum knew Pac's next fight was going to be in Texas ever since he met with Jerry Jones. I don't think he tried too hard to make the pbf fight happen because he wanted a fight in the new stadium. And it is interesting that Clottey pulled out of his Jan bout.

                    Actually Clottey pulling out of his fight makes it su****ious but i would give them the benefit of doubt.

                      Great, Then you could go to the fight, Am sure it wouldnt be too expensive since the capacity of the stadium would be quite bigger than anything Vegas.
