ARUM CONFIDENT PACQUIAO-MAYWEATHER TICKET PROBLEMS WILL BE SOLVED

Promoter Bob Arum is confident that the problem over tickets as well as rooms allocated to Top Rank will be solved even as he assured fight fans that the May 2 showdown between eight division champion Manny Pacquiao and undefeated Floyd Mayweather Jr is not in jeopardy.
Arum told the New Standard/boxingmirror.com that ?the problem in the term sheet is a problem that will be solved and it will not affect the fight.?
Arum revealed that CBS president and CEO Les Moonves will act as arbiter in case of a problem and will make a decision right away. Moonves was in large part responsible for making the fight happen.
Arum was irate on Wednesday over the delay in delivering Top Rank?s share of the fight tickets with Arum telling Yahoo Sports that he needed to have the tickets and hotel rooms secure for the numerous commitments Pacquiao has made to Filipinos who are coming to Las Vegas for the fight.
Taking a dig at the MGM Grand with whom he had a nasty exchange when they out up streamers promoting a Mayweather fight at the time Pacquiao was to fight Timothy Bradley in a rematch, Arum said they have no contract, nothing for the fight and added ?what is happening is absolutely intolerable.?
However, Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe suggested that Arum needed to relax and that everything will be worked out.
Ellerbe said the tickets were delivered to the MGM on Wednesday and promised ?Bob?s going to get his tickets and his hotel rooms. That?s all been specified in the contract.?
