Thoughts on Bob Arum’s reaction over Floyd Mayweather reserving a MGM date

I don’t see the big deal about
what caused Bob Arum’s reaction over Mayweather reserving a date of May 5th,
putting a hold on the MGM Grand for his next fight. For those not aware, Arum
told our own Steve Kim that the fight was further away because they weren’t
seriously negotiating and reserving a date means nothing. (Read the story here: pacquiao-mayweather)
While Arum makes a very
valid point on how Mayweather’s camp should have called Top Rank to inform them
they are interested in negotiating for a fight in May, putting a hold on a date
and venue is nothing to rant about. Many times in the past, Arum has targeted
dates for Pacquiao’s next appearance in the ring before Pacquiao’s current fight
was over with.
Main point, Mayweather’s
move should not be a reason to not negotiate something and make the fight most
people have been dying to see.
