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

[tatangb45]

let me break it down for some of you hardcore pacquiao fans that are too ****** to realize how the judicial system works....


mayweather jail sentence was delayed due to the contract obligation of the date of may 5th... you want the date moved, you better go see the judge whom already has received heat for delaying his sentence and wants no longer to be bother with this crap ( trust me, judges get pissed over this ****)... mayweather would have to see the judge again if the date is changed....


how about instead of dealing with that we just make the ****** fight for may 5th, if im not mistaken this is the last stumbling block.... out of all things in the past, this fight wont get made over the ***in date?!!!.... really?!?!?

i dont care if you are a mayweather fan or a pacquiao fan, if this fight doesnt get made over the date not being move to 3 weeks, i hope you guys both drop this whole blaming one fighter and just tell both to *** off


/dear diary

If the judge could grant Floyd a delay of six months to accommodate him because of a possible fight schedule, why is extending it by an additional two or three weeks for a definite fight not logical?

Don't give the criminal a medical reason to duck the jail in June 2012. Let him fight his 1st choice - Guerrero.

Bob wants that May 5th date... he's using it to duck the fight... Mayweather made it clear, May 5th in Vegas.

Like I said years ago, Bob is the one who will make or break the fight. Looks like he's still ducking for the pac 3 years later....

So...I guess I'll ask my question again. Why is it better for these two to fight at the end of May rather than May 5th? There has to be more of a reason than, "so Floyd doesn't have everything his way." The key word in that question is "better". Why is end of May better than May 5th if they are planning on fighting at the MGM anyways??

And trust me, with the way things are right now, it's Manny that needs Floyd more than Floyd needs Manny. Not just from the media standpoint, but from a performance standpoint as well. Pacquiao needs to redeem himself after he looked like that against Marquez.

Here's one very good reason, thanks to PennyAndi.

No one here knows the true status of Pac's cut, so why not give him the benefit of the doubt so that both fighters come in at their best physical conditions? It's no big deal for Floyd. The judge can give him another two or three weeks extension on top of the six months already granted.

Or are you Floyd fans hoping for another big advantage for Floyd for this fight?

i dont care what promoters do. This isnt anything new. Things like this have been going on for years. Its a business. And a sport. Arum this Arum that ... GBP this GBP that...who gives a ***. Yeah im a die hard fan. And Pacquiao Fan of course. Manny is a fighter. He has promoters worry about the promoting and he worries about his job. Saying Arum dont want this fight is IGNORANT! THINK ABOUT IT...If Manny loses or wins...Their will be another fight. Thats more money. win win for arum. Manny is a comeback fighter with 3 loses on his record. A lost wont end Manny! Or arum. Its a business. Wake up and see where the problems are really coming from and have been!

okay but what i dont get if mayweather says lets fight on may 5 and pacquiao is okay with that as well then why cant arum just agree with that. mayweather cant move the date because he is legally bound to that date. thats why its just seems like a slick way of getting out of the fight, by proposing a date that arum knows floyd can't do, not willingly, but legally. thats why i think the problem is the promter because both fighters want it but the promoter is making it difficult. what can the end of may bring that the 5th cant? Just agree with the date the man will be available and get it going. i just dont see why its that difficult.

[fragilety]

I honestly do not see why so much blame keeps going towards Pac and in some cases Floyd, to me they both want the fight and I wish people would drop the ******* and ***** BS, come on guys.. I really dont see why this fight cant take place few weeks later if it really needs to be done and the venue idea is great who would not want that, it's a compromise on the top rank side so i not see why floyd and his team cant accept it unless both sides are really just using each other's names and the idea of the fight itself to bring attention to thier own seperate bouts against unnamed opponets later this year

OH and for people that say Floyd is locked to may 5th, please we all know that can be easily worked out(esp for this fight for VEGAS)

"I'm not married to May 5, so Manny could fight on another date in May," Arum said. "If Manny's opponent is Marquez, I'd be much more married to the date."
