Yep arum said they needed to build a stadium and then fought in a STADIUM that seats over 100k. Says something dont you think. Cowboy stadium was available but he chose to fight Clottey instead of a Floyd fight, in Cowboy stadium.
    its the same week that koncz visited mayweathers gym to say that arum is not part of the negotiation. but floyd is "not thinking about boxing" at that particular time. manny wants it. arum and floyd not too much.

      Pretty much everyone except Floyd himself and the majority of his fans want to see the fight. They're the only ones who think he has better options. Then again these are the same people that thought Guerrero and Ortiz were suitable opponents.

        I'm sure you make some excellent points. It's nothing personal, I just have a problem reading huge chunks of words that have no spaces and end up looking like monstrous paragraphs.

        I guess you can compare my condition to Floyd. He can obviously read, but has difficulty reading out loud. In my case, my eyes get lost and my mind shuts off and I move on to the next message.

          Im pretty sure Showtime has a huge interest in the Pacquiao fight. They want to cash in big on their contract which numbers have been disappointing other than the Canelo fight. Jim was probably told to ask him that question and put him on the spot

              This post began with so much potential. Then it turned into a fairy tale.
