ARUM SUGGESTS LEGAL ISSUES KEEP MAYWEATHER FROM COMMITTING, YET HE'S ALREADY COMMITTED TO MAY 5, 2012
By Ben Thompson | December 12, 2011
"Mayweather really can't commit anything now, because next week, he's before the courts. So if the trial is going to happen, he can't do the fight," stated promoter Bob Arum during a recent coversation with Ronnie Nathanielsz of the Manila Standard, offering up his latest excuse as to why a potential showdown between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao may not be possible in the near future. Apparently, Arum wants to paint a picture that an upcoming court date for an evidence hearing in his domestic violence case will prevent Mayweather from committing to a future showdown with Pacquiao. Arums comment seems somewhat asinine, however, considering that Mayweather has already committed to fighting on May 5, 2012. In fact, he's so committed that he already has the MGM Grand Garden Arena on hold for that date, a move that he would not have been able to make without first clearing it with the courts.
