The thing has taken three years to negotiate (or not), an extra 6 months is nothing. Do it right, have it at a site that is where they both want and is big enough to accommodate a huge crowd, sell it even more than it already has been and make it the event it deserves to be.

You are going to get ONE chance and only one chance to do this a first time. There are no guarantees the fight will be one they can sell a second time, so treat it accordingly.

And for the record, I know my opinion won't be popular among boxing fans, but I just can't see it any other way.

I wouldn't have a problem with that but if Floyd serves his 3 month sentence starting on June 1st that means he wouldnt be out until September 1. Unless we're looking at December fight I doubt we see Floyd fight this fall.

Right...Winter starts December 21, to me late fall is anything from late November to mid December.
