    Good stuff, definitely a huge "F U" to Golden Boy from both 50 Cent and Arum if it happens. Oscar made a big mistake talking down on 50 Cent.

    As for now, I want to see Pacquiao KO Bradley and not get robbed.
    Oscar compared to Arum as a businessman and promoter is equivalent with a 2 year old tabula rasa baby compared to a 30 year old. Not to mention that Arum was a Summa cum Laude Harvard Law School graduate...... The world's best.

      How many times have we heard Bob say next year or that he needs more time?

      This is just Bob feeding the media more excuses so he can exhaust his options before allowing Pac to fight Floyd. He has an agenda and sticking to it!

              April makes no sense. If Floyd fights in November-December of this year, and Pacquiao too. How are they going to sign the fight, rest from their November/December fights[respectively] and promote their fight 3-4 months, when the past few fights they've done against lesser opponents were promoted for 5-6 months? And both fighters take at least 3 months in between fights before they even start talking about their next opponent.

              April sounds like bullsh-t to me. It just makes no sense. I would like to see the time management they do here. For Mayweather vs Pacquiao to get signed for April, the fighters, instead of fighting late this year, would have to instead sign to make the fight and start promoting it November-March, while also training, filming 24/7, and start training in February for the routine 8 week training camp.

              I was optimistic about this fight happening, until I heard this new BS date that makes no sense at all.

                What's funny is Arum saying May is a no-go because of Pac's "campaign" stuff.

                  Floyd isn't fighting this year, it seems as more time passes with no word from him, that he's waiting till next year. The first time, Pac had fought Cotto in November and was going to fight Floyd in March, 4 months later.

                  So it's possible Floyd just sits on the shelf till April for the Pac fight. I would like to see Floyd take a tune-up like fight in November or December, but I doubt it happens.

                    I would agree but the launching of TMT say Floyd needs to fight this year. A normal person would want to let loose once they get out but Floyd I could see him wanting to train and fight although maybe a fight that suits him.

                      It's been 2 months since the Bradley fight, and Pacquiao still hasn't chosen his "November" opponent. It's August, and he's planning on fighting in November, but he has no opponent yet. So he's going to choose his opponent, and train for 8 weeks[September, October], while simultaneously promoting the fight. All of this in 2 months.

                      Can somebody tell me how will Pacquiao fight in November? Is he well-rested from his last fight, will the fight be properly promoted for 2 months? Will he be okay with the distraction of promoting the fight while doing his 8 week training camp. I don't know, things just don't add up.
