    Isn't Mayweather Promotions taking the charge of promoting this event?
    Why invest heavily in something that isn't happening? Floyd wants to pull out of this fight so badly but he wants to find a way to put the blame on PAc. That's why this crazy ass defamation thing just pops up out of nowhere stating that Pac has to go to court and testify whether or not Ariza gave him mysterious drinks, lol. I know what it is......they want to parlay this court case thing into a way out of the fight.

    They needed to do just enough promotion to make it believable that the fight was going to happen but Floyd never wanted it. It'll either be this or an injury later on this week. Floyd will hurt his hand or twist an ankle while running if they can't make this Ariza defamation thing get ungly real quick.

      I believe Arum.. Arum has been very honest for months IMO... seems genuine when answering questions.

        Haymon and Mayweather Promotions are morons. They wanted to take charge of this fight promotion and it has been **** the whole time. Just a really half assed effort on their part. Won't be surprised if the fight doesn't do the numbers people are expecting it to do. All because of a poor effort from Haymon and Mayweather promotions. Like Arum said, the man behind the curtain. This idiot doesn't no **** about running a boxing company. This isn't PBC where you can give half your tickets aways so that the arena looks full. Really pathetic, two weeks until fight and no ****ing word on tickets. Wow.

              Don't be surprised if Floyd pulls out this week.

                To be fair the promotion has been dreadful, no tour and a garbage Showtime documentary.

                The only good piece was that HBO documentary, which was wonderful.

                  Mayweather Promotions is totally unprofessional. Money is their motto from top down and bottom up. I've always pictured an ending between Pacquiao and Floyd like that of the second Roy Jones Jr and Antonio Tarver fight where Tarver was asked by the referee in the center of the ring do you have any questions and Tarver answered: "Yeah, I got a question. You got any excuses tonight, Roy?" Roy has been ducking Tarver for the longest time. Tarver, a southpaw, knocked Roy out in an exchange in the second round. I hope that's how Pacquiao is going to end Floyd that night.

                    Not sure how true the latest gossip is, but there's gossip that MGM has already guaranteed their share of tickets to high rollers/VIP/celebrities with none remaining for general public. There's also buzz that mgm closed circuit showings are currently only being offered to high rollers who are not big enough to secure arena tickets. whatever seats remain AFTER will be open to general public for much more than the $150 initially announced. I'll try and post link to these claims.
