    i'll also speculate they know about the posters 3 days before and they ask mgm to bring it down. speculations should not be taken as facts. one thing for sure the floyd/corona posters are all over mgm when pac and bradley arrive.

      Wonder if Arum's rant had anything to do with the fact that someone hit (& possibly totaled) his car at MGM. Had to be towed away.

        Speculation? This should have been handled weeks ago and made sure it doesn't happen. In the at least 2 weeks prior no one from TR went by the place to make sure it was being prepared properly? In the week before no one from TR went by to make sure the biggest week of the company's year so far, featuring it's biggest attraction, was top notch?

          What most hardcore boxing fans fail to comprehend is that no matter how much we hate Floyd Mayweather, Jr. He is still the headliner and main attraction in the sport in Las Vegas. In addition, as a whole, he is the top grossing athlete not just in boxing but in all of sports in general. Therefore, he is more than worthy of the top billing that comes along with being the only athlete who could sell more pay pay per view buys and ticket sales than any other boxer or athlete; Whether it's at the MGM or wherever venue he so chooses to perform.

              GB is going in guns blazing and **** blocking everything. From fighters to networks to venues they're going on a monopoly binge spree. I smell trouble eventually for Arum and company.

                Paranoia, that's all. The fact that he uses a backdoor deal as causus beli only shows his own knowledge of dirty dealing and a show/slip. It takes one to know one. A young Bob Arum would have booby trapped the back door.

                      When a huge hotel and business like MGM Grand doesn't even bother to put up advertisements for a Manny Pacquiao fight, that says volumes. Boxing promoters are all about image and branding, and fighters at that level can be very primadonna like. I'm sure when Manny was driving to the hotel and he looked out his tinted window and saw that 50ft banner with Floyd face on the side of the building, he had to say WTF. Then he steps out to make his grand entrance and as soon as he walks into the lobby he is bombarded with Floyds face EVERYWHERE?? DAYUM. LOL Every picture Manny has posed for, while in that hotel, probably has Floyds face somewhere in the background. LOLOLOL. Three words....THEY GOT HIM. LOL
