    eventually the TR-GBP feud will have dragged HBO, Showtime, MGM and another casino into their bull****
    They already have rival stadium deals in LA and NY, in LA Top Rank has The Forum and GBP has Staples, in NY Top Rank has MSG while GBP has Barclay's. It is only natural that it would come to Vegas also I guess.

    I have seen some bizarre stuff in boxing, and the big promoters always had rivalries but this is getting to be like 10 times the worst I have ever seen.

      Top Rank didn't pay MGM anything, MGM is paying them to have the fight there.

        Money does trump all. Which is why Bob is keeping his eyes open to the fight

          Exactly, even angry Arum who is pretty rash knows the golden rule, he who makes the gold makes the rules.

            Looks like Arum is in trouble with Tecate himself becaue of the MGM.
            We really wanted to go to Mandalay Bay [also owned by MGM Resorts] and they said, 'No, we want you here,' " Arum said. "So we stayed and they said, 'No other signs [for Mayweather or Corona]. Nothing. That's it.' You saw this place with everything for [Mayweather] all over. It just shows what a poorly run company this is."

            Arum said the Mayweather/Corona signage inside the MGM Grand this week injured his company's relationship with Tecate, which could lead to legal action.

            "We've been injured in our relationship with [Tecate] and [Tecate] is going to look to recover money from us," Arum said.
            LAS VEGAS – The dispute between Top Rank and the MGM widened Thursday when Top Rank CEO Bob Arum said he will consider legal action against the resort that is hosting the Manny Pacquiao-Timothy Bradley rematch Saturday in its Grand … Continue reading →

                  Lol he has no1 to blame but himself really. U Re supposed to ask these questions and work this stuff out before signing the contracts. Really it's bad business on his part.

                    In the sense that top rank may not bring anymore big fights there? Sure.
