New Stuff From Bob Arum Regarding Mayweather v Pacquaio

[Furn]

Many, various reasons that have already been stated in this thread.

1. Because the date has been reserved since November.

2. Because it will be good business on Cinco De Mayo

3. Because 'having a contract to fight on May 5th' is the reason the judge pushed back the date

But, the main reason, is that Mayweather has had that date reserved from way back into November last year.

That's the date. The problem before hand was the MGM Grand, now that isn't a problem.

So, in result, May 5th is no longer a problem.

Mayweather has a date reserved for May 5th with an opponent of his choice.

Pacquaio is now available for that date.

I don't know how this can be spelled out any clearer.

So no real reason at all then ?

Is the MGM booked out for late May ? Surely they will change a booking for a Pac-Floyd fight.

Is the Judge going to put Floyd on jail if he fights later in May ?

FLoyd has a chance to called Arums bluff, if he wants the fight he'll do it.

Finally Pac and Arum on the same page!!!

Bob Arum tells SI from Philippines that if @FloydMayweather accepts a 50-50 split and can guarantee his half, Pacquiao can fight in late May. Arum says Mayweather is "Plan A" for Pacquiao. Says he doesn't like the idea of doing the fight at the MGM Grand but will do it. Arum says he is guaranteeing Pacquiao's half, if someone guarantees Floyd's the fight "can be made in ten minutes." Arum says if the framework of a deal with Mayweather isn't in place by Saturday, Pacquiao will pick from the Cotto/Bradley/JMM/Peterson list.

Here is an interview with Manny after leaving the meeting with Bob Arum....

i can see so many folks getting taken for another ride...

jumping in the ride,,, i can smell the judge made it a precondition for the postponement of floyd's sentence that floyd must fight pac....

the bad side is that bob smelled it too and is making a lot of noise to squeeze in more $$ for tr and also get to floyd's skin....
