The usual procedures in conducting a press conference was presented by promoter Bob Arum, with a twist. Richard Sturm, MGM President of entertainment and sports, was sarcastically introduced by Bob Arum as the president of poster hanging, and this is because Mayweather vs Maidana fight which is not until 3rd of May had a poster on the side of MGM, prominently displayed and the Pacquaio - Bradley poster in a less noticeable locations.Well, Mr. Arum at the closing of the press conference expressed his unhappy feelings about the mishandled poster situation and even comparing two properties where one property (Venetian) making billions and the other (MGM) trying to make their payments. After the lambasting, Bob Arum said, that if what he said was incendiary, he apologize and that he is an old man. I was cracking up on that remark " I am an old man" as this is my 73 years old brothers favorite expression when he is trying to get away from what ever situation he would like to get away from. At any rate everything else went as it should, with both camps saying that they have prepared and trained real hard for this fight. I guess both fighter have something to prove, that he, Bradley confirmedly won the first fight and he is the true champion and for Manny Pacquiao to confirm that he won the last fight. We will all know the outcome on Saturday..... Fight night. All photos was photograph by Robert Torres for

He needs to prove he is the true champion. |
