The date for Floyd Mayweather‘s next fight is already set. Just don’t expect Manny Pacquiao to show.

That is, until Bob Arum, the CEO of Top Rank and Pac-Man’s personal promoter, steps aside and lets these two welterweight champions meet in the match that everyone both within and without the sport of boxing wants to see.

Fat chance, and not simply because Arum has let himself go a bit in his old age. While both camps have handled the arrangements poorly, Arum still sticks out as the sore thumb with an ever-expanding Rolodex of excuses for why his most precious client won’t climb between the ropes and touch gloves with Money May.
