And what goes around comes around for Showtime. After getting the Vargas fight postponed, they snag the JMM-Juarez fight from HBO and now they lose Diaconu from the Dawson fight and this. Yikes.

they should be kept in bubbles or rooms with padded walls to prevent injury.
but look at the timing of when Oleg pulls out. absolutly rediculus.Comment

Klitschko and Maskaev pull out back to back, with hurt backs. They have tried to cut Peter out since January to fight each other. I sense a patter here.Comment

I hate to say it, but crap like this is why media in general lose respect for the sport.
you have Samuel Peter getting dragged through the mud .. first having to fight back to back WBC Eliminators .. against the same guy
wins both. so you'd think he gets his title shot ... but Team Maskaev stalls on that (Peter vs Maskaev) .. and even tries to get a fight with Vitali Klitschko before Peter who is his mandatory.
then Maskaev finally decided to sign a contract to fight Peter .. and has to pull out with a back injury 2 weeks from the fight.Comment

Good point. I think Vitali adviced him to do this. Of course they're hoping that samuel peter still fights somebody and gets beat the way Rahman got beat and Vitali never had to fight him. Then Vitali and maskaev can fight in a all russian battle. Suliman better strip this **** and do boxing a favorComment

Is it pride or money I wonder? You'd think for a couple million bucks he'd be willing to lose... I sure would. I'll sign to fight Peter today, even though it's a sure loss in the first round (probably first minute too).
Then again maybe he really is injured and it's not his fault.Comment

I say they should say **** it and strip the title from maskaev. Peter worked for his title shot and deserves it. I hope everything works out.Comment
