Whatever happened to the Zuniga-Pascal bout?

Last I heard the fight was postponed until August 1st after Pascal suffered an 'injury.' Now it appears the fight is off, Zuniga will instead be taking on Sebastian Demers, an Arthur Abraham victim, on an ESPN 2 televised main event. Meanwhile, Pascal's next fight will determined by a purse bid. Honestly, I was looking forward to the fight, I believe Zuniga has all the tools to expose the highly regarded Canadian. This would of been the second time Zuniga, regarded by some as a gatekeeper, would turn off someone back, after knocking out the Russian Victor Oganov with a perfect record in 9 rounds. Anyone have any info on the cancellation of the fight?

Zuniga is fighting Sebastien Demers instead.

It was announced today Pascal is fighting Karoly Balzsay for the WBO title at 168.

Pascal's a bum.

My question is 'why'?

My question is 'why'?

Pascal backed out of the Zuniga fight because he had the opportunity to instead fight for a world title.

Because Zuniga would knock his ass out.

That's also true.
