Statement from Team Campbell

[warp1432]

This is no disrespect to Shaeffer, but he wants Marquez-Campbell about as much as you want a bag on your hip. Had we signed with them, then its a different story. But Richard is a businessman first, and making in-house fights where they control both sides is alot easier than dealing with Don, Bob, etc. I understand why he does it, cause its the same stuff Don and Bob have done for years, but it still makes it difficult sometimes when fights (unless they are mega-fights) dont get made because of promotional issues.......

See? This is the part I don't like about you/Campbell. I have nothing against you guys personally, but it annoys the hell outta me when it's like all you guys is focus on is "All they want is house fighters and they don't want any piece of us"

But when Shaeffer says something about fighting you guys, it seems like you guys always just respond with "They REALLY don't want a piece of us. They're lying"

It's hard to take it seriously, when that's all you focus on and then do ****** stuff to make it a bigger joke like failing to make weight. I get the point of how inhouse fights = more money, but when they say they want a piece of you guys, instead of "They don't really want us" just be positive and get the fight done.

No disrespect to you and Nate and your whole team, but you're all a bunch of clowns

I never have sympathy for failing to make weight. It's the easiest thing to do in boxing. If you can't make weight, you are just an undisciplined loser and that goes for anyone who has ever had problems at the scales. Either stay around your fighting weight all year round like Mayweather and Hopkins or move up to heavyweight if you're an unmotivated loser. You fight two times a year tops. How hard can it be to go through two training camps a year? NFL and NBA players go through way more than boxers do nowadays.

Sometimes I underestimate how big of an idiot you actually are.

Nate by late KO on juevos alone...

wow talk about a great jeckyl and hyde matchup. there's no telling which version of either of these guys show up, making this fight 100% unpredictable. Nate could zombie out for 12 rounds while Judah puts on a boxing clinic. or Judah could quit after 4 rounds. Or Judah could KO him in 2 rounds. Or Nate could bust him up for 12 rounds as Judah loses interest. i could literally see every scenario possible happening in this fight because these are two of the biggest head cases you will ever see in a ring. there is no consistency whatsoever in either of their careers.

Much as I like the "Galaxxy Warrior", you're right...who knows wtf happens...

Cotto, Martinez, and Cintron are both undefeated..Soupy has 5 losses

Funeka-Soupy shouldn't even be the main-event....Funeka is going to stop him in 4 anyway and Soupy is a weak-willed fighter. The fight I'm really pump for is the MARTINEZ-CINTRON tussle. Two undefeated superwelters with power. YES. They are both UNDEFEATED, since both only "loss" to Margocheato which as everybody knows doesn't count.

[LondonRingRules]

No he wasnt. His people from Sycuan took him to the hospital simply to rehydrate with an IV, because its quicker than just drinking fluids. He was cleared to fight by the commission doctor.

** I can appreciate wanting to contain the damage from Nate's latest fiasco, but if a guy doesn't want to fight, maybe it's best to respect that.

Guzman backed out of two previous fights from weight issues and moved up the next division each time. Obviously he's got weight issues.

Your boy might be undefeated when it comes to shooting from the lip, but he's got a lot of personal issues which have bedeviled him during his career. Are you preparing the Castillo camp defense for the charges of unfair contest after he came in heavy against Corrales, knocking him out after Corrales agreed to the nontitle fight?

And what of Funeka who's not a big player and spent a South African fortune to travel to the US for this? It's still an opportunity for him, but is it a fair contest? We know that quick from the lip Nate shot himself in the foot, so he is rightly seen as being quite the prat.

Well, like Graham Houston noted, all bets off save for mine as I'm not a betting man. Plenty scrambling about trying to salvage stakes which is what the fight has become.

Thanks for the explanation. Stuff happens as you noted, but it happens A LOT in boxing........
