Arum to Ask Judge to Further Delay Mayweather's Sentence?

[-Kev-]

Trust me ... the MGM will have no problems voiding the may 5th contract, and accepting a different date for this fight.

That's the problem. The MGM Grand is not the arena that will get the late May date between Mayweather and Pacquiao, it will be Bob's stadium. So once they void that contract, they also void getting the record for gate revenue in boxing history.

What a crock...

A 3rd party can't talk to a judge about the sentencing of another, or negotiate for that person. Thats purely to be handled in the courts, not in the slimy back rooms Arum is accustomed to frequenting.

The only person that could make that request is Floyd or his lawyers

[New England]

if he does it will only be for the opporunity to try and fail in public and have something to blame


if you dont think that top rank is blocking this fight you aren't anything but a "*******"

i'm not saying that manny is afraid to fight floyd
i'm saying that arum and top rank, for whatever reason, aren't willing to make this fight


if they wanted to make this thing happen they'd get together in a boardroom and close the door and make this damn thing happen in a few hours.

that's the bottom line.

this should what team floyd be doing.....

Judge Saragosa wouldn't even talk to Bob Arum. I just got off the phone with the Clark County's public relations speaker and she told me that Judge Saragosa wouldn't be talking with anyone since the case is still pending. That includes the media and Bob Arum.

Something about that term just made me laugh "Bob's stadium"

Wow. Bob Arum is going to the extrmes with his nonsense now. He said this to Ronnie Nathanielz yesterday. Today, he says that Pac has chosen his next opponent and it is not Mayweather (as if Mayweather was actually an option). Tommorrow he will claim that he can't make a Mayweather/Pac fight on May 5 because the Filipino government won't let Pac leave the country to fight until the end of May. The sad thing about it is the gullible and the *******s (not the same thing because *******s are both ****** and blind, making them worse than gullible) will believe this nonsense.

Ronnie Nathanielsz of Manila Standard Today reports that Top Rank promoter Bob Arum may possibly go before Las Vegas judge Melissa Saragosa to try and get Floyd Mayweather Jr's jail sentence further pushed back, so that a fight between Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao can happen in late May or early June.

++++Arum indicated he was ready to go before judge Melissa Saragosa and request that she push back the incarceration date so the fight, which the world wants to see, can take place.

The belief is that the judge, who postponed Mayweather’s incarceration from Jan. 6 to June 1 to allow him to keep his contractual obligations for a May 5 fight, is likely to grant the request.

This would be a pretty bombshell piece of news if true, and would make the fight, dare I say it, very possible. Very, very possible.++++



Mayweather said yesterday via Twitter that the date of his scheduled fight (May 5) can't be changed, and says he has his guaranteed money in order and challenged Arum to contact Richard Schaefer of Golden Boy Promotions or adviser Al Haymon.

The biggest sticking point right now appears to be the date. If Arum really helped get the sentence delayed again, which it already was earlier this month, that's a serious move, and if successful, the ball would be entirely in Floyd Mayweather's court -- if he's willing to fight Pacquiao on May 5 and report for his sentence on June 1, a similar four-week arrangement to fight Pacquiao later and report to jail later should be reasonable on paper.

The article also mentions Dubai as a potential host for the fight, but we've heard about Dubai five hundred times and it never hosts a fight, so I'm choosing to ignore that. Freddie Roach says he thinks Cowboys Stadium would be best for the fight in the States, but you'd have to sell so many tickets there to equal a Vegas gate that it doesn't actually make sense. There are only so many high-priced tickets you can sell in Cowboys Stadium.

Anyway, this could all amount to nothing, but it has been reported, and if Arum really did make a move on this, that would be big time. And would do more than anything ever has to show that Arum and Team Pacquiao want this fight.

At least there is still hope in this super fight to happen in May. If the Judge agrees to this. Floyd has no choice but to agree to a late may fight.

The very comment made by Arum also proves that Floyd is locked into May 5th , now we know why its got to be on May 5th , why is that the date is ok for Arum if its JMM but not Floyd ,,,,, you dont smell the Arum rat going down here ? lol I guess not you in denial Pac ****** .
