Breh,
If Floyd asked for that date knowing that Arum would react that way, then
1) It's smart of Floyd
2) Especially if he has no intention of fighting Pacquiao anyway
Bob Arum....AGAIN stops Mayweather/PacMan

True, but when has Floyd ever announced a specific date that he wants to fight on?
I mean @Methodical raises a decent question.
Usually people say they want to fight around a certain time of year.
The only guy I can think of who always fights on a specific date is Cotto with the PR parade.
he did it before for May, and Bob Arum made excuses saying they need to time to build a stadium lol for it, and manny needed time to heal from a cut lol
the only ones dodging the fight have been them
mayweather's fought may and september exclusive the last 3 years, where have you been
NYC Rebel
...on the otherside of the pond
Y'all giving Floyd mind control powers now
Yeah, May and September...but I don't recall exact dates.
You could be right, but are we just going to ignore Floyd outright saying that Manny will get less than 40 million for this fight? As if that's not going to be a huge sticking point?
Both sides are to blame for this shyt show, breh.
I fukking can't wait to stream this fight just for making us wait this fukking long 
fukk paying for it and fukk going to a bar.

Not Jedi Mind Tricks, but he's a manipulator.
What kind of boxing fan doesn't admit that much about him?
Mayweather probably will beat Pacquiao.
But Arum's been in business for like 40 years, breh.
He's like the Frank Costello of boxing.
He hasn't needed the money.
...but he likes it.

Floyd announced his plan to fight on that weekend before his last fight. He fights every year on that weekend. That's why when DLH and Arum was talking about holding Canelo that same weekend everyone was saying that Floyd would probably have to fight Pac that weekend if he planned to hold that date cause no other fight could compete.True, but when has Floyd ever announced a specific date that he wants to fight on?

He manipulated Arum into leaving the court with the ball?Not Jedi Mind Tricks, but he's a manipulator.

Max Kellerman said he doesn't think Floyd wants to fight Pacquiao in May and that he's doing this to bump Cotto and Canelo so he can fight Kahn. But then again to call kellerman a Arum apologist would be an understatement.

Devoted Joel Embiid hater
Well he's going to have to settle with the likes of Robert Guerrero and maidana instead of then big ticketfight with Pacquio
That's oppurtunity cost right there
