      Bob and team pac are the ones dropping all the madness about tix. They are the ones riling everyone up but in reality its them that are keeping them from being released. Masses are upset and want the tix. Blaming TMT. Bob didnt have that agreement in place before but now with it so close and masses upset he has upperhand. He is going to get what he wants because, like i said, all are blaming TMT. He is about to squeeze and sqeeze hard.

      Dont believe me. Just wait its coming soon.

        Ellerbe is right about one thing. This is typical arum fooling the fans and feeding them whatever he wants. "The governor will get involved"

          Bob won't get what he wants. The State of Nevada might have to get involved in this.

            I actually agree with the last sentence. I don't really think either side is to "blame" because they both have fault. First, mayweather allegedly sent the long-form contract on April 15th. Why send it so late in the game, if you've had the term sheet for months? Second, the long-form contract allegedly does not conform with the term sheet. This is poor draftsmenship, or gamesmenship, because the agreement is essentially in place. If the contract doesn't conform with the agreement, then they should send a new contract that conforms to the term sheet.

            Bob has no obligation to sign something his client didn't agree to. However, this doesn't seem to be that important of an issue, so it shouldn't stop the fight. He's definitely using it as a way to get what he wanted, but TMT, or their lawyers, have allowed Bob to even be in this situation. At least IMO.

            This is really lame. Both sides are at fault.

              He's fighting a nobody. Would've been a different story if he was fighting Walters, or even a top 10 opponent. Little desire to watch an exhibition fight.

              No they didn't, and they still don't. If whoever gets the decision (Pac or Floyd) doesn't deserve the decision, it's going to be a pretty hollow victory which few will acknowledge as having any credibility.

                    Top Rank wouldn't have control of decisions during the fight, including in-arena production, video content and music
                    Who gives a fk about music???

                    Dude needs to sign the damn papers.
