    It's not like floyd is trying to win a pissing contest.
    The guy is going to jail June 1st.

    May 5th is the date.
    No excuses.

      What wrong with late May ?

      You can say its a copout but only if Floyd lets it be one.

      If Floyd is the man, then agree to 50-50 in late May.

      If Arum comes up with an excuse then we'll know he doesn't want it.

        Arum wants 50/50 in exchange for fighting at MGM on May 5th...
        If someone bankrolls Floyd's 50m guarantee, especially if Floyd bankrolls himself to avoid GBP's involvement, Arum will accept May 5th.

        He is just saying late May so Floyd would bend to 50/50 split.

        Mayweather Promotions would co-promote with TR and Floyd can easily get his $100m with this setup.

          You're right. If Floyd was stuck on a date where Pacquiao had to be in Congress, to negotiate a important national law, demanding to fight Floyd on a particular window of time, they'd be singing a different tune.

          I'm starting to side with Floyd again. FOR NOW.

            How many excuses does Bob Arum have to make before we know he doesn't want it?

            THIS very statment from this thread is another excuse.

              Stop stop stop........May 5th is the date.
              No excuses.

              Why late may?

              Bob just said the MGM is fine. Bob wanted to build a stadium. That was the main reason for the later date.

              Now why does Bob still need the later date with the stadium crap out of the way.

                why not may 5th its reserved already, and the excuses bob used for late may are gone so may 5th shouldn't be a problem

                  Bob said that the MGM is ok.
                  Now why does he still need the later date when he isn't building a new stadium?

                  Another excuse like you said.

                    There is no power struggle going on here.
                    The legal system says turn yourself in June 1st floyd.

                    Floyds lawyers told that judge that they COULD NOT BACK OUT OF THE MAY 5th deal and that it was SIGNED, SEALED.

                    They told the judge that PPV and MGM was already signed.

                      duck duck duck. This is a load of drivel. Why doesn't Bob put another countdown clock on the TR website till Saturday?
