    This is the closest you can get from a Floyd fan agreeing somehow on the stadium.

    But what he did was an example of "yes, but" principle.

    You agree a little but contradicts a lot more.

      It was announced I believe Feb 20, a very non significant day. If he announced it on his birthday a mere two days later at least Floyd fans will have something to argue about but why Feb 20?

      Malinowski broke the news a day earlier, announcing the fight on that day does not necessarily mean he signed it on that same day too.
      they agreed to terms earlier.

      remember when pac/arum kept saying "WAITING FOR FLOYD"

      floyd fans kept saying arum was full of it. well.....

      plus when floyd agreed he delayed announcing.

        Yeah. Pac said several times during interviews that everything was settled but part of the agreement is that Team Mayweather is the only party that has the power when it comes to announcement of the fight.

          Pacquiao not going to get any of this.

            floyd doesnt want the mgm full of real boxing fans, he knows the crowd will turn on him and starting chanting for manny manny once the first punch lands and he pulls out the bicycle-

                I need some clarification quick or I'm cancelling my trip to Vegas. There's no reason to bother going if watching the actual fight will be a huge hassle. This has been the worst promotion imaginable, and there's way too many details left unknown for the fight to be little over a month away.

                  She told me she is getting ready for event, fight is secondary....ok
                  I had my flight booked in January and my friend reserved rooms in multiple hotels...now with this announcement, my friend is seriously reconsidering going to Vegas...smh

                  I'm a fan of Floyd, but to let this happen is just some f*** s*** to me. I know he has two fights with Showtime/CBS/MGM left but cot dayum...If I knew that the fight would be handled like this, I would be skeptical about going.

                  Not a good look for boxing at all...

                    Some of you are just flat uninformed "haters". "Floyd doesn't want real boxing fans" WHAT?? LOL You can't make this nonsense up. I didn't realize Floyd was also the OWNER of the MGM PROPERTIES too.

                    Anyways, as said by someone here which was completely IGNORED (not surprising) the MGM isn't JUST the MGM if you've ever been to Vegas.

                    MGM PROPERTIES consist of - Bellagio Vdar
                    Delano
                    Monte Carlo
                    New York New York
                    Luxor
                    Excalibur

                    and Mandaly Bay where I saw Guerrero vs. Mayweather at.

                    All of them won't be showing it I'm sure but there's more than enough properties on the strip than just the MGM Grand that MGMProperties owns and has shown fights.


                    Still laughing at the idiotic "floyd doesn't want real fans" comment.

                      its basic economics: supply and demand

                      the MGM can raise their prices now that they have a monopoly on showing the fight and people WILL pay for it...this will also attract high rollers to the casinos while reducing the chance of overcrowding the city thus maximizing profits
