Boxing fans must have been excited for the next fight of the Filipino pride in boxing, Manny Pacquiao.
Despite great expectations, the Boxing Champ will not be facing Floyd Mayweather Jr as he will once again step on the boxing arena this June.
Bob Arum, enumerated Pacquiao’s next possible opponents namely Miguel Cotto, Juan Manuel Marquez, Lamont Peterson and Timothy Bradley. Such information was taken from the news site ABS-CBN.
How come that Mayweather was not in the list?
Arum, the CEO of Top Rank Inc. claims that for him, it wasn’t smart when Manny Pacquiao approved that the fight against his strongest possible rival Mayweather will be on May 5th.
That may not be much of an earning when Arum came across economically (–foul word(s) removed–)sing the supposedly approaching May 5 fight.
On the other hand, the most anticipated fight in Las Vegas, Nevada would not going to happen on May 5 said Bob Arum.
A huge profit is highly expected in the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight according to the news source.
An additional $40 million earning is foreseen when temporary 38,000-seater stadium will finally be finished for the big fight. Such is a 40 acres space that is owned by the Wynn and Sands Hotel.
An extension until end of May is necessary in order to fully furnish the stadium as to its facilities.
Arum clearly stated that it was all Mayweather’s fault why the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight had been delayed.
Reports stated that Mayweather made an appeal to Las Vegas court requesting that the boxer’s three month jail sentence will be rescheduled to June 1 (–foul word(s) removed–)uming that hid May 5 fight against Pacquiao is set to happen.
A quoted line from the news article said that the Mayweather could have lied to the Las Vegas judge when he said that he is set to fight against the Filipino Boxing Champ on May 5 and that Pacquiao had already made an agreement to that.
The fight of Floyd Mayweather Jr and Manny Pacquiao will surely be history’s greatest boxing battle. But then, it will not be on the May 5th.
