Comments Thread For: Arum Bends: Gives Mayweather Deadline For Late May

[boxingfan4life]

okay if he is not building the venue why does it have to be late may? arum is definitely coming up with excuses. just do it may 5. its sad that the own fighters promoter is the one making it difficult to make the fight. i thought it was his job to make sure his fighter gets the best fights. floyd handed out the challenge for may 5th, the venue is no longer being built, so whats the reason for not doing it on that date. this shows that mayweather is definitely not the one thats running. its arum.

Common Pump, what did he bend on?

Unless he is bending towards the 5th of May, he isn't bending at all.

What difference does early May and late May make?

That's not bending that's completely giving in! If theres no differencence in dates than why can't Floyd compromise for the sake of making this fight if he really wants it!

Completely giving in?Are you serious? Signing the contract for May 5th would be what I call "completelely giving in". Arum is just acting like he's making a concession but still finds reasons not to make the fight happen.

Wait. Why does it have to be the end of May if he's willing to fight at the MGM? I thought the only reason he wanted the end of May was so that the new stadium would be finished. I don't get it, Bob. Please give me a credible reason why end of May.

"The way they are going about it seems like a bizarre way to go about it. If you want to put it together, you meet, you talk. You don't just come out and say, 'The fight is May 5 at the MGM.' What kind of negotiation is that? So I don't take what they said seriously." -Bob Arum

Motherfucka is doing the same thing with his end of may bullshit.

I said it yesterday...Arum's snake skills are declining....he's shot!!...he's no longer a GREAT liar...you can hear the deterioration in his ability to conceal the truth....its time for him to retire!!

Arum knows what he is doing to assure the fight dont happen. May 5th is the best date. Fighting May 26th is to close to June 1st, what if Floyd gets an injury or cut, needs to make sure those heal before jail. When he called out Pac, he called him out for May 5th. Period. Anyone else who thinks it should be on another date is a moron

oh boy now the choice is up to Floyd. Hes gonna NOT go along with it and all his cheerleaders are gonna see hes a fraud. The fight can be MADE in minutes IF Floyd says OKAY! Whats gonna be the new excuse! The date is to close to his JAIL sentence. Needs time to spend with family. Or something....being MAY 5TH and Cinco de Mayo has nothing to do with PPV numbers BEING NEITHER ONE OF THEM ARE MEXICAN. PLUS...i wouldnt care if it were x-mas election day thanks giving or the coming of christ....this fight will sell on any day any time
So Floyd lets see what HE will do now. Cant Tweet your wAy outta this one!

Doesn't matter if neither of them is mexican, what matters is a lot of mexican americans love to watch fights on that date, regardless of who is fighting. And both fighters have their significant share of mexican fans.
