[QUOTE=Pactar∂;11684765]Mayweather has a GBP lightweight bum Robert Guerrero lined up already, that's why he can't fight on any other date but May 5th. Mayweather saw what happened with many boxers who entered the ring with Pacman, and wants to have no ring business with him at all. He said many times he's not in the boxing business to take damage. Floyd has never fought an opponent remotely similar to Pacquiao and he knows the risk to lose his precious "0" is very high.[/QUOTE/] Give it a rest man, your boy and his team have done everything they can to avoid this ****. Your boy and company wanted to wait till january to talk about any fight. Im not going to go through the list of excuses because ill miss work talking about all that shyt. The one thing I want to touch on is if they wanted to maximize there profits why not get right down to business for the so called fight of the century especially if you want to build this outdoor venue. Can you explain that? Also your boy hasn't been in the ring with someone remotely close to floyd so whats your point?

Arum is a peice of **** Arum is a geedy Bastard Arum is a **** arum is the devil arum is a liar.....BUT Arum is right....No judge has court ordered Floyd to fight on May 5th. The judge postponed his sentence so he could fulfill his contract obligations. Any one who has common knowledge and sense knows that fight cards and venues are subject to change. The judge did not court order no such thing. Its as easy as pulling the vid up and re-watching it. Or calling the Clerk of court in Las Vegas Nevada. Public Info!
Arum is a douche bag. But he is right here. Its an ignorant idea ...new stadium and all that , and i dont see whats wrong with May5th either. We arnt making any money off the fight so why should we care. But these money grubbin greedy pricks are stopping us from seeing the fight we wanna see.
And props to Floyd for still wanting the fight. But if they think they have to fight on may 5th due to a court order..they need to present that document to the public. Because its not on court records..which is public info.
I also agree with Floyd. He said manny needs to stand up to Arum and say hes not fighting anyone but Floyd! Make it happen.

Those contract obligations were with the MGM grand on May 5.

Just out of morbid curiosity, can Mayweather fight at another date?

No one fancy answering this? I havent kept up with the ins and outs. I know Arum is full of ***** but hypothetically, why cant Mayweather fight on another date before June??

He would have to go back to the judge, explain why (with no good reason), hope the judge agrees, then go to any would-be backers and/or the venue and pitch to have that reservation moved and hope that it's available and agreed. In other words, a bunch of time wasting bull**** that could be end up being for nothing.

Ok unrealistic but not impossible. I honestly think neither side really wants the fight that badly. It will never happen.

ummmmm i know that. The world knows that..your point?

More like unnecessary. Even though unrealistic is good enough. The fight is there to be made. One side just doesn't want it. If the judge changes his mind, Arum will change the goalpost. But the old lawyer knows that's not happening.

I have no doubt Arum would find another excuse. But did the judge specify that he has to fight May 5th? Is that even possible? Surely if hes free till June 1st, he can fight at any time before that.
