Caneloterol's NSAC hearing on April 10 may be pushed back one week (to April 17) jeopardizing further the May 5 fight.
According to Lance Pugmire of Los Angeles Times:
"The Nevada commission is scheduled to consider Alvarez's explanation on April 10, although that meeting may be pushed back one week.
The speculation that the fight may be postponed has led some businesses tied to the event to take preemptive steps.
HBO has stopped promoting the fight. Alvarez's promoter, Golden Boy Promotions, has retreated from publicity plans. And on Tuesday, MGM Resorts announced it is offering full refunds for Alvarez-Golovkin tickets at T-Mobile Arena."
"Alvarez's temporary suspension is expected to be extended at a Friday Nevada commission meeting until the April session, when a final verdict is expected to be rendered.
A six-month suspension would keep Alvarez sidelined until August, freeing him to fight again on Mexican Independence weekend this year."
LOL at Oscar hiding from this sh^t. He needs to just make a call. This sh^t looks off to more & more people every day yet the lead promoter isn't just calling the fight & saying whats becoming obvious.
Yeah, where's Oskar??
It's funny, that Mayweather's jail stint was pushed back because his upcoming fight with Cotto was good the Vegas economy, but a mega fight with two popular fighters, the NSAC are dragging their feet and willing to jeopardize the fight. I thought mega fights were good for the economy.
Apples and oranges.
Canelo got busted for a PED and potentially is cheating in a dangerous sport. TBE’s issue had nothing to do with the sport.

When all this broke I thought there was no chance of the fight getting called off. It looks more and more likely by the day though. What a shitty situation all-round.
LOL! The Great TBA
Forget about TBE we got TBA in the House!!!!
hehe ... :D
The Great TBA could be ...
- Saunders
- Andrade
- Spike O' Sullivan
- Derevyanchenko
- Charlo ?
- or the great etc.

So the fight isn't Happening. Sucks for ggg. None of this is his fault.
It's all GGG's fault! :lol1:
If he hadn't complained about Canelo testing positive nobody would have cared about it!

Yeah not GGG's fault and he's moving onwards to fight whoever is the replacement for Caneloterol on May 5. He prefers to fight BJS but open to anybody else.
