    So people want mayweather to fight then 3 days later go to jail? The MGM is where Floyd fought Oscar - How many more seats can you add that will be premium seats? Pay per view is what the real focus should be on. Arum is doing all the talking from Manny's camp and all of Manny's fans should step up and demand Manny's boss to do whats right for the sport! Arum should care less who guarantee's mayweather's purse ! WTF !! he does not promote mayweather. And for Manny to be silence through all this is sad. I mean floyd is killing these dudes on the pr side - one day fans will wake up and stop blindly supporting BS

      Who the hell would pay a grand to sit in bleachers that far away from the ring.

      It doesn't make sense.

          What I like about Arum making excuse after excuse is that the *******s are quieter than ever... the bad side is that the *****s are raging...

            I thought he said Manny has already selected an opponent, and recently said Manny isn't fighting Floyd next. But somehow, Floyd is still plan A. SMH..

                I always questioned the "extra income" Arum claimed he would gain from the temporary stadium (25 mill for 20,000 cheap seats is asking a lot).

                However, I did give him the benefit of doubt about the stadium's ability to hold a big time fight. Now I even question that.

                The way Arum talks, you would think it was going to be a "sports palace," with all the accommodations and amenities of a major hotel (i.e., those venues who have traditionally put on fights). It's going to be anything but.

                After hearing Floyd's manager point out the glaring flaws in Arum's Stadium, Arum's excuses are a joke.

                The problem here is that this new, temporary stadium will be built in a dusty parking lot. It will have bleacher sitting, temporary restrooms and a severe lack of concession stands. Also, those extra seats will be between 50 and a 100 yards from the temporary ring.

                Who the hell would pay a grand to sit in bleachers that far away from the ring.

                It doesn't make sense.

                  D-Wade will not play. It's not going to be as fun without the Wade vs Kobe matchup.

                    It's going to be a lot of fun watching Kobe show Lebrick how to do it's done.

                      As long Kobe try to go one-on-one and take 30+ shot attempts, then i think the Heat may have a chance to win it without Wade. If he look to set up plays for Bynum and Gasol in the inside, then this will be a blowout win for the Lakers.
