Exactly. If the issue was " revenue" why would they consider a fight for less money?

Revenue is the issue.
There is not enough money for Bob Arum to risk his cash cow.

Bob makes more money when he owns both fighters and when he is the main promoter.

Thats why he needs this arena to profit more money which makes sense.
But we all know that Bob has no intentions of building anything.

these are all lies this the temp stadium could be finished apr. 22nd if arum was serious. talked to my boss the location would be the south west corner of las vegas blvd and sahara. team pac is lying again. nevada ready mix would pour the foundational collums. if pac accepts may 5th ill go full *******.

April 22nd, is that with all the permits, building inspection, and other regulatory requirements? Also, does that account for any delays and problems that are common in construction?

As much as i think everyone wants this fight.....from a dollar perspective, having it May 5th just doesn't make sense. 3 months of getting promos going, and bringing all together on the fly....it just might not have the same build up. Remember, for us true fans, we need no build up, but for the casual fan that watches 1 maybe 2 fights a year, thats the audience that might not be as excited had a full fledged tour taken/takes place.

In a perfect world, Pac and Floyd say....screw the promo, lets just do it (which i think they want), but to think that money will NOT play a role from promoting such a huge event is just crazy. So all this talk of "im here waiting, lets do it already",could very well end up being just hot air. This event will make so much money, that even money lost from poor promoting could cost both sides millions.

I hope im wrong, and for the good of the sport, they put the fans first for once.

This fight has been promoted for 3 years.

This fight needs no promotion. It will sell no matter what. You can put the press conference on PPV and that will sell too. Get this fight done!

What exactly is there to think about? Mayweather or Peterson? duh!!
