Bob Arums views on the 40,000 seater who is with him?

[Mark TKO]

yes fair enough - but why does it have to be May 5th ? There's three other Saturdays in May

And there's also already a permanent 40,000-seat stadium in Las Vegas. Again, this is complete BS from Arum.

I kinda feel sorry for pac, arum is making him look like a straight punk. And i don't think it has anything to do with pac. I belive manny would fight floyd, rodger, and maybe even marquez again in the same night if the fans wanted. But all these excuses and silly statements that my nine year old son even calls bullshit (and he aint even allowed to cuss) are getting out of hand. A stadium ? Then what a gold ring, a diamond ring bell, ring ropes of dutch eagle feathers ? Sure doesn't look good. I wouldn't be surprised if arum is the one that snitched floyd out and got him locked up in the first place.

I doubt the difference would be that much, the figures he gave meant that the average seat would be 2000 if he wanted to make 40 more minus construction fees. Also M could likely put up the money to make up most of the difference. I can't see this fight being anywhere but MGM, and a closed arena has way better atmosphere.

The stadium is total bullshit, did it bring more dollars for Marg vs Pac or Clottey vs Pac at the million seat Dallas stadium.? ( don't know the actual seating capacity)

This has dragged on way to long and I don't think it will be bigger then Mayweather vs DelaHoya, ringside seats and pay per view may cost more but they will never beat the pay per view numbers sold.

I've never bought a pay per view anyways and this fight will be no different, add to that the millions around the world who do the same in the internet days of free streams. It has been five years already since the highest grossing fight and more ways to watch without paying the large fee's.

May 5th is a holiday weekend. That's why he wanted that weekend. Nonetheless, I hope Floyd play the game and say ok, the end of May is good.

Come on people its BS. You cant build a big stadium in a few months! Think of all the work involved and the health and safety etc. Plus when is there ever something built without problems and delays occurring? Any setback would only put the building back further and then youre left spending a load of money on a stadium no one wants. Its total hogwash. There will be no stadium made for the end of May, it wont happen. Its just Arum talking bollocks.

Suddenly the MGM Grand on Cinco de Mayo weekend isnt a good enough fight weekend? Since when?

I cant believe people are with Arum on this. If Pac loses before a Mayweather fight happens (and lets face it this fight already lost a little bit of its sheen because of Marquez III), this P4P showdown is no more. Mayweather may as well fight Bradley or whoever possibly beats Pac in the meantime. Its a big risk to not fight now. Not wanting to fight at the already booked MGM Grand on Cinco de Mayo is laughable. Pac/Arum clearly dont want to fight.

[Manos de Piedra]

It's just a BS excuse from Arum to stall the fight so he can continue milking Pac.
