    Vargas REALLY blew it for SHOWTIME lol

    First of all, they made a COUNTDOWN episode that was SUPPOSED to air TONIGHT i think, if hasnt already aired. Maybe they still will, idk

    But second of all, if Vargas can't fight for 8 more weeks, that will push the fight into November.

    And yes, that means this PPV will be competing with either one of the two of the best cards of the year and they are BOTH free on HBO. Calzaghe-Kessler, and Cotto-Mosley.

    They REALLY lost Showtime a lot of money in PPV revenue. I think they should take it off PPV, cause then i least i and others would watch it while flipping back and forth between the others


    PS: I AM NOT SAYING IT IS VARGAS's FAULT!!!! I'm just saying what happened to him is disastrous for showtime

          Most likely it will be scrapped, unless he waits it out to fight under the new date, which I doubt.

            just cuz the ppv is called off, it doesnt mean that the card is called off.

            Vargas screwed the pooch!!

              No the card is off too. They'll have to do refunds. Cintron will stay out until 12/1 now

                  really? lucky break for the fans who bought tickets. They usualy dont do that. they just host the rest of the card so they dont have to refund the tickets.

                    The whole card is off. It sucks because I wanted to see both the Cintron fight and this fight. We are in the midst of a loooong stretch without interesting bouts. Im glad football season is right around the corner.
