Press Conference

badbookie anything new ?

Arum has been saying the ticket issue is almost resolved. They have a verbal agreement but he needs to see it in written.

Sorry Superb, I went to sleep after my last post. Nothing new re. the injury. Same rumours still going though. Not been able to speak to anybody to confirm anything yet. Got a small job in Cork today then Im heading home to get ready for my flight on Saturday. Really don't know what to make of of it, so unprofessional. Cant speak to anybody 'official' but lots of rumours all along the same line. I did originally hear it was a wrist problem but then the hand. I gues there are much more important people that need to be consulted before they tell us. I'll let you know if I hear anything else today.

So from your perspective the fight is still definitely off badbookie?

Not saying that what you're saying isn't true because it may well be but I haven't heard anything regarding any injury to either fighter.

Is it possible that due to the venue contract not being signed yet for the MGM that you guys have been informed of a possible hitch ?

Tickets go on sale tonight according to ssn, only 500 available to the public but 50000 available on closed circuit tv (100 quid a pop)

Thank Mayweather for that.

But when I say he is bad for boxing, I'm a hater

Some people just realise when it is too late.

You equate everything bad to Mayweather D4, that's why most switch off when you start.

Blame both of them, Manny's got an allocation of tickets too, he could have released a lot of them and gone 'sod it, i've got enough money, now i'm giving something back to the fans'
Wouldn't have been great but at least shown him to be doing something for the fans that have waited for this.

my set up time has been confirmed today. As far as I know the preparations will go ahead but I've had 6 different people now tell me something is wrong. All but one saying is the hand injury snd one guy convinced its the wrist. I don't no! I'm going as planned. But Ive heard that a couple of guys I have worked with before have been asked to do a set up on Saturday afternoon in one of the conference rooms, this though could be rubbish though as I cant get hold of either of them. My guess at the moment is 50/50. Ive know people already there telling me one thing and then my employer and venue people telling everything is fine...I don't really follow boxing but I appreciate its big deal. I'll let you know if I hear anymore but i'd just class it as 'gossip' at the moment. If nothing happens by Saturday then id assume its bs, but i'll be on a plane then and won't find out until I land....

Manny got no tickets

Most of the tickets to the 16,500-seat MGM Grand Garden Arena are controlled by the two fight camps, with the remainder reserved by the MGM for its own customers.

Key word above being TWO fight camps.
