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

I should just copy and paste my posts because apparently no one reads the thread. Locking up an april date 2 weeks before the biggest boxing weekend is really saying, we don't want to fight Mayweather. Mayweather isn't going to fight on that date, it's almost guaranteed. People still kind of want May-Pac, and locking up a date...before you even get close to your upcoming fight, really makes that look even less possible then it was. That's a hard thing to do lol.

I can't understand how people are too fucking ****** or stubborn to realize this.

This quote damn near needs its own thread. It will get lost or people will ignore it and play dumb.

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

It took a while for Marquez to be named as the next opponent, though. Happy to hear that both guys aren't interested in fighting for a 5th time. April will probably be a Bradley rematch, assuming he wins his next fight.

If you had triple posted this, you would have succeeded.

Dang! Missed opportunity!

may 5th at the MGM arguably makes the most business sense for obvious reasons. meanwhile, bob and pac want to fight on obscure dates in a fantasy stadium somewhere on a far off neverland where mysterious pixy investors await them. mayweather locking the date is somehow offensive even though they had no problem before fighting marquez, hatton, mosley on cinco de mayo weekend at the MGM. they've done the same **** before and are doing the same **** now. you have to be thick not to see how these snakes operate.

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

That's right. If Floyd wants to fight Pacquiao in May he could always say so. Pacquiao said he would give Mayweather 55% and Floyd's advisor basically told Pacquiao to shove it. Does Pacquiao have to beg Floyd for a fight? Floyd has said nothing about fighting anyone so he might not be fighting on May 5th. Blame it on who ever you like but a Mayweather-Pacquiao fight seems very unlikely. Pacquiao still likes to fight and lots of people like to watch him fight even if it's not with Floyd.

Hey maybe Floyd will take 4/20 and canelo v cotto/trout on may 4th. But to me its all talk till after pac v jmm

Yup. Already has the next opponent picked out (Not Mayweather) and will spend the whole time promoting the fight by talking about wanting to fight Mayweather. Same old **** from both sides. Very tired of it now.

May is not an option on Pacquiao, he is running again as a congressman and the elections is in second week of May. I will not be surprise if flomos and floyd itself will insist a May date to duck this fight. Floyd vs Pac dont need Cinco de Mayo or any special holiday, the fight itself is a not only the biggest weekend of boxing but the biggest fight of the decade or might be the biggest fight in the century!

It doesn't need Cinco, but it can wait if it's not on then. A canelo fight makes just about as much money on may 4th than pac on april 20th. F
