Manny Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach says a May 5 bout against Floyd Mayweather remains a possibility but that a later date would be a better option for the mega showdown. Mayweather called out Pacquiao Tuesday, writing on his social networking site Twitter to "Step up punk."

From what I understand, Mayweather's legal team was able to postpone the date specifically because Floyd already had the date and venue set aside in advance. It was his "ace in the hole", so to speak. Floyd knew there was a possibility that he could be serving jail time, so he kept this surprise up his sleeve to put pressure on Team Pac. If a fight doesn't happen on May 5th, then he's basically violating the court order/disrespecting the judge. Arum said something to the degree of, "We'll help Floyd pay his legal fees," in order for the judge to get the date extended lol, i was like WHAT? Arum acts like a crook. Arum has no legitimate reason to NOT take the May 5th date, this is the ultimate problem that most fans have with Team Pac. This is why Team Pac is being accused of ducking, and the only way they change public perception is by taking the May 5th date.

Floyd is going to fight on May 5th no doubt about it, the only ??? is the opponent. May 5th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, there will be a fight, but it might not be the one everyone wants to see.

Another poster made a great point. Knowing that Floyd challenged Manny BEFORE the 3rd Marquez fight, if Arum and Team Pac really wanted the fight why didn't they immediately start negotiating after the fight? The BS stadium could be almost done by now. The answer to that is "THEY NEVER INTENDED TO FIGHT FLOYD". Manny is a fraud and shouldn't be on nobodies Top 3 maybe not even Top five because people may dis the Klitchsko Brothers but they have fought and beaten everyone put in front of them, I would rank them Ward, Marquez and Martinez in front of Manny at this point (of course Floyd is #1). There is absolutely no excuse for this fight not happening May 5th. You can tell by Roach's BS excuse claiming more promo is needed. That assures me that their all in on ducking Floyd, Manny included.

Lol your a clown...even many fans are strecthing to save face about this one...money had the date set in Nov ...enough said...

The official promotion started with ” you punk”. This is all part of a continued promotion. How about scheduling the fight for 12/21/12, the end of the mayan calendar. That enough promotion for you.

REMINDER :

Bob Arum's very first act following the Pac/JMM III fight.....

..... was to announce through Judge Daniel Weinburg that Top Rank will not be entering into negotiations with Floyd Mayweather as they were too busy investigating a rematch with Marquez.

Now we got all the other excuses, cuts, stadiums, dates, promotions.....

It could not be more blatantly obvious that Team Pacquiao are ducking Mayweather like the plague.
