Comments Thread For: Arum Clarifies MGM Situation, Open To Manny in New Arena

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

MGM Grand, Las Vegas, Nevada - At yesterday's final press conference for the Mayweather-Pacquiao super-fight, Top Rank CEO Bob Arum raised eyebrows when he praised the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino for being gracious hosts for Manny Pacquiao and the rest of Top Rank while not saying a word about their sister propriety and host of Saturday's fight, the MGM Grand.

BoxingScene.com caught up with the Hall of Fame promoter to clarify his comments. Arum said that his comments shouldn't be construed as derogatory towards the MGM and that he just wanted to praise Mandalay Bay for their accommodations.

Not according to the NSAC. And Arum said two days ago Pacquiao is getting $25m. Of course he'll get more with PPV, etc. but that is a ****ing ridiculously low guarantee. Now we know what Mayweather was referring to.
