    No way will this fight be in Mexico. Bob is just using this for negotiating leverage.

    Probably to try to get Jerry Jones to open up his pocketbooks a little bit more in order to have this in Dallas.

      I think it can. The Pac gravy train is ending soon.... maximize profits before JMM retires... then if Pac is still game, set up a Rios fight

        cant really be any worse than USADA that tests their pet fighter, finds positive results for PEDS 3 times, and then hides the truth from the public so he could fight no problem...

          if bob arum is so set on letting the commission conduct the blood testing then it is a waste of time

              I agree, Pacquiao does give good sound bytes, but everyone knows its his promoter that makes the fight, Manny just tags along.

              "I'll fight who my promoter wants me to fight"

                  You're probably right. They hardly ever have big fights there and I'm sure there is a reason for that.

                    Floyd has fought only during May or September and only at MGM for like the last 5 or 6 years. Arum has already complained that he gets those dates but well he signs up for them first. Its basically a given that Mayweather-Canelo happens in September. I dont think MGM or HBO would give it to Pac/Arum over floyd. Pac-JMM has been played out a bit, theres a lot of money in the 5th fight but I think they will favor Floyd-Canelo over it.

                      well many polls are showing that the majority of boxing fans would rather see Pac-Marquez 5 over Mayweather-Martinez and Mayweather-Canelo
