Berto - Mosley is off
Andre Berto’s Statement: Since the 7.0 earthquake struck Haiti on Tuesday evening, I have been focusing on my family and the Haitian people who are facing an inconceivable battle for survival while still trying to continue to prepare for an opportunity I have dreamt of since childhood. I lost several family members to the earthquake and after two days without word, was relieved to learn that my sister, Naomi and her daughter, Jessica survived, but were left homeless. I have seen the pain in my parents’ eyes as they attempt to understand what has happened to our homeland and recognize a place they once called home.
As a result of this disaster, I am mentally and physically exhausted and therefore I have no choice but to withdraw from my bout on January 30.
Throughout the past six days, I have received an incredible outpouring of support, and I sincerely appreciate everyone’s prayers for the people of Haiti. I hope that everyone will continue to keep the Haitian people in their thoughts and prayers as we work to rebuild this proud nation. The rebuilding of Haiti is not something that will happen overnight, but I am fully dedicated to helping the Haitian people recover from this catastrophic event.

Edit: Sorry, I didn't read the article before I orginally posted. Sucks that he lost family members. Terrible situation in Haiti. So wanted to see Shane vs Berto though, maybe later this year.
i guess berto is far from being pac who can boost his countrymens spirits by winning after a series of typhoons and landslides causing death to thousands of pinoys.
Berto lost family members you fucking idiot!
Berto was gonna get knocked and he knew it. Another Al Hayman fighter being a duck, what else is new.

Totally disrespectful as usually... if I would give red k's... you had one...
Do you have family dude??? Why I even talk to you... waste of time
These Pac b@tches are unbelievable, its okay for Pac to pull out of a fight because of a Fear of Needles, but its not okay for a man who has lost family members in a tragic earthquake to cancel a fight. Serioulsy I encourage all Pac fans and Mayweather haters to not say another word against Berto's decision to pull out this fight. Dont show your true colors please.
Go die in a hole you loser. His country was just devastated.
and he has family members missing still and or dead........... he's dealing with a tragedy for his family and his families country.......
bad k for the thread starter..........
people who say berto is ducking mosley are idiots , the guy's country is in a bad state and some of his family members have died in the earthquakes , he's going through a rough time . If your family members died would you be expected to go to work the next day ?, f*cking bitches.
Man, you hate pbf and love pac, that is all fine and dandy but come one, a lil respect for the man. his family is suffering right now.
Berto was gonna get knocked and he knew it. Another Al Hayman fighter being a duck, what else is new.

What a ****ing shitty thing to say, you pactards are just upset because Floyd might have just got himself a bigger PPV fight.
Exactly, heartless to say such a thing.
Look before you cats start screaming conspiracy and step aside money this and that, if your Island just got devastated by an earthquake you'd pull out the fight to. Berto is making the right decision and its the right decision for boxing. Mayweather-Mosley is the right fight now.
You're a damn tool...the guy is looking after his family whose been affected by the disaster in Hatti....you think his mind is 100% focused on a Mosley fight? gethefuckouttahere
Show the man some respect.
