Arum already has Manny booked to fight in April...same ole same ole

[PACnPBFsuck]

If you think about it, it's actually a smart move by Arum.

If they have a PPV 2 weeks before Floyd does in May, it will take some buys that Floyd would normally get.

[devildg]

it means nothing, it merely follows the usual pattern of Pac's booked fights, one in the spring, one in the fall, with the offchance of a rescheduling

This is a TYPICAL behavior from a fighter who is guaranteed to fight TWICE a year, instead of some UNPREDICTABLE fighter like Floyd who takes VACATIONS or goes to JAIL

As usual, there are are people who read too much into something that means nothing

April 20th != May... come on now lol.

Yea, I was trolling.

can't floyd fight on april?

Don't think that cut over his eye will be healed by then.

if you ain't biased you'd know Floyd is on vacation again. nobody knows when he'll fight again.

Right.

Uhhhh...ok.

why fl0m0s bothered by the date? not a peep or a squeak or a quack from the duck, so the world will move on.

[DoktorSleepless]

How's is this any different from Floyd booking May 5th before he even negotiating with Pac last year? There was no mention of an opponent. Could still be Floyd.

I haven't done this yet, but this board is getting annoying so I'll start... You are an idiot. Anyone who uses ***** or ******* really just shows their lack of understanding of how to have a discussion on a sport they claim they like. The reason this is a big deal for people who don't understand how the game works... april 20th brings a LOT less money then may 4th which is 2 weeks after. Floyd could fight Canelo may 4th and make more money / sell more ppv then Pac on april 20th. Arum basically said we don't want to fight floyd with this date agreement. Alas I've lost hope and some interest in the fight anyhow. Canelo- Cotto/Floyd May 4th and Floyd/Sergio September... lets... do it.

oh so you know all these because the quack told you all his plans next year?

Again you show the intellect of a 6 year old child... cong****. I can reliably assess this due to the trend of when Mayweather fights. Anyone who follows the sport should know this. If I can figure it out you better believe Arum can too, he may be a scumbag, but he's very intelligent.

Please if you want to debate something talk like a normal human being. Not an uneducated child.

[Evol]

This happens all the time he always has the next date/and or opponent set up

Because Floyd is sitting here waiting and begging for the fight right? is PAC and arum suppose to just sit and wait? PAC fights atleast 2 times a year.

I'd agree with you except for the fact... Manny has a fight coming up in a while that isn't happening all that soon. Why reserve a date, when you're not even looking at opponents and already have a fight. It doesn't bring a positive chip into the negotiating tables when dealing with other top guys. More options open, is a better chance for a deal to be reached. This feels similar to the "outdoor stadium".
