Pacquiao v Mayweather in in Dallas or Dubai?

Mayweather called out Pacquiao Tuesday, writing on his social networking site Twitter to “Step up punk.”    Roach scoffed at Mayweather’s challenge to fight on May 5 in Las  Vegas but said he welcomes the undefeated US boxer’s willingness to  step in the ring with his Filipino dynamo.

“We have been chasing this guy for two years and he receives a get out of jail card and now he wants to fight,” Roach said Friday at his Wild Card Boxing Club.
   “Dallas would be the best place to put on that fight in the US because you could get 100,000 people in Cowboys Stadium but Dubai is the best moneywise.”   
Roach said a group from the Dubai is willing to pay huge sums so  that the title fight can be staged in the United Arab Emirates.
   “There were negotiations with people from Dubai. I met with a group of people who were negotiating with (Pacquiao’s financial adviser) Michael Koncz,” Roach said.
   Roach said May 5 is possible but not practical for a number of reasons, including talks that are currently ongoing with another fighter.
   “I want Mayweather as much as anyone,” said Roach, who is the subject of a new HBO series called “On Freddie Roach” which airs January 20.
“A May 5 date is a possibility but a June date would be  much better because we would have more time to train.
   “Manny always stays in good shape. If it was up to me I would pick the later date. But I also like a challenge.”   
The problem with fighting after May is that Mayweather is supposed to report to jail on June 1 to serve a 90-day sentence for  a domestic violence conviction.

"An iPod, a phone, an internet mobile communicator. An iPod, a phone, an internet mobile communicator.... these are NOT three separate devices!" Jobs said when preparing to introduce the iPhone in January 2007.

"Today Apple is going to reinvent the phone. And here it is..."
"And we are calling it iPhone!"
