Originally posted by marvin douglas View PostHowever, when one side had one date, and the other side has another date, one of the parties will be dictated to. Arum is demanding late May, while Floyd is demanding May 5th. One side will have to agree to the other's demand, and then he will be accused of being dictated to by the other side.
You have to look at the reasons (excuses) Arum had for not wanting to agree to the May 5th. date. If Arum wanted to make the fight (which he clearly does not want to do) then he would agree to May 5th. and extract some concession from Floyd's side.
I got it! Manny agrees to May 5th. and Floyd agrees to let Manny come into the right after Floyd does. Floyd can also agree to allow Manny to be "announced" after him.
That's what it took for Gerry Cooney to Fight Larry Holmes. Larry was Champ, but Cooney was announced last.

Hold on:
In Manny's last 2 fights (where he hasn't looked particularly great) he pointed to leg cramps as a reason, now Bob Arum is going to have him fight outside under bright lights in the Las Vegas summer heat. Either Manny was just making excuses or Arum is getting senile.

Funny though.....i guess
FACT: The biggest grossing fight in boxing history was held on May 5th
FACT: The biggest grossing fight in boxing history was held at the MGM Grand
FACT: The biggest grossing fight in boxing history included Floyd Mayweather
FACT: The stadium excuse is just the latest in a long line or excuses
FACT: Manny said this..... "making that fight happen is more important than the money"
What is your next excuse, are we going back to the cut ?
Why dont you want to see that fight, boxing is good fun ?

Originally posted by Carpe Diem View PostI 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..

Fact: Floyd Mayweather would not be dictated to in the same way.
Thats all im saying, I honestly dont care about this whole situation as much as you clearly do. Im not that emotionally invested in either side, as you clearly are.
