Floyd Mayweather jail sentence delayed to June 1, fight against Manny Pacquiao now possible for May 5

LAS VEGAS, NV - JULY 21:  Floyd Mayweather during a training session at his gym in Chinatown on July 21, 2011 in Las Vegas, Nevada.  (Photo by Scott Heavey/Getty Images)

There's still at least a slight chance that Floyd Mayweather will fight Manny Pacquiao on May 5, 2012.

That's because a Nevada judge today ruled that "Money" won't have to begin serving his 90-day jail sentence until June 1, which allows him to fight on the date that both he and Pacquiao have said they plan to return to the ring.

But will it be against each other?

For now, it doesn't look that way. That's because Bob Arum, "Pacman's" promoter, told BoxingScene.com (via Bad Left Hook) that he's not looking at Mayweather for Pacquio's next bout. He did say, however, that if the Filipino fighting sensation wins on May 5 against whoever they line up, they would be open to making the superfight in November of this year.

Of course, all of this was said before the judge's ruling today and Arum's argument against attempting to make the fight was he didn't want to deal with a bunch of "what ifs."

Well, now he doesn't have to.

That means the next few weeks should be a very interesting time, indeed. Moral arguments regarding the judges ruling aside, anyone hoping this door opening leads to a boxing ring with Mayweather and Pacquiao in it?

No one is afraid of Pacman

Especially not after his flast fight with Marquez

by Starr788 on Jan 6, 2012 3:44 PM EST via mobile up reply actions  

I used to think pac had may's number but for the past few years I changed my mind

Floyd is afraid of a loss more than pac imo. I rate pac too but think Sergio Martinez is the boxer to beat Floyd if they met at lmw (unlikely now).

It was in a thread where Sarah Kaufman was bitching that Ronda got the title shot ahead of her and I said:
She’s just butthurt cause she thought the days of high school when the pretty girls were favored over her had long passed. And now it’s followed her from high school to her professional life. It’s strictly psychological. She thought when she became a fighter that she had finally found an outlet to get out all that rage that had weighed her down over the years. But…BAM! Here it is again…she’s distraught…

People want to see pretty girls get filthy and disgusting together..when pretty girls stink, it’s sexy…no one wants to see an ugly girl get filthy and stanky…it’s nasty

I've never followed boxing in my life

But just by years of boxing news on MMA websites even I can tell you that they won’t make this fight happen. It’s the one big fight that everyone has to see (I haven’t heard of any other boxers to be quite honest) but instead of matching them up, they will take the safe bet and GSP their way through their careers. IF they ever matched them up, it would be the first boxing match I’ve ever paid to see and that is saying something.

Granted, I would be screaming at the TV to go for the double leg takedown, but that’s cause I’m slow in the head.
