Its 2 days from the fight, I want to hear about the fight and the boxers not your personal and business grievances against the venue you are fighting in. This is what makes boxing fans so fatigued with the sport we hear more about promotional, business, financial, venue, network, belt organization, state commissions, and drug testing squabbles then the actual fights.

Floyd is not going to fight more than top rank exists. Mgm made a mistake if arum plays his cards right he should steer away from them and let showtime lose their investment in the coming years. Maybe it looks good for them now but the future doesn't look good for them imo after Floyd v. maidana. That contract will hurt them until Floyd's claimed last fight

HBO can end the cold war right now if they put a new Game of Thrones episode on Saturday May 3.
SHO would lose so much money (they are already in the red after the Guerrerro and Canelo fight) that the execs would stop SHO Boxing period.
GBP would be forced to fight on HBO, Foxsports or ESPN. There obviously gonna pick HBO cuz they pay more but HBO can say, you can't be associated with GBP. Everyone would leave in a heartbeat and we would finally get the fights we wanna see

His last 8 fights have been held there. Four of those in May.
If ole Bob didn't want any competition at all for the venue, maybe he could have held the fight at Thomas and Mack. Or Dallas Stadium. Or the freaking imaginary stadium that he was supposed to build.
My mirth over this whole thing isn't a Manny vs Mayweather thing, of who is the biggest swinging dick in terms of drawing power.
It's Bob losing his shit, and there being 6 threads about on NSB.
What happened to Dallas Stadium? - Arum normally stages his fights there .... why the hell is he in Vegas for this fight?
He wants to come to Vegas three weeks before the headliner fight and try to bogart like he's been a steady customer
This dude is just bad for boxing and is seriously jealous of GBP\Haymon & Floyd.

He was talking Chavez being PPV no matter what in Vegas, now it's going to the Forum.
As for Vegas fights, he won't pull out for Pac, but at most would move to another venue in Vegas
