Comments Thread For: Pacquiao vs. Ugas Set For August 21 - Spence Withdraws With Eye Injury

[GBP4LIFE]

So he was gonna retire Pac.. looks like he gonna be retired instead YIKES

Al Haymon did to Pacquiao what he wanted to do to Canelo.

What the Hell does that has to do with anything? I believe this injury is legit. Pac's guarantee shall remain the same so what's to gloat about?

Ah man that's some **** ain't it

The short term impact is no Pac/Spence fight. The bigger long term question is if Spence has a career after this...he's had the car accident and now a detached retina. Abner Mares, Israel Vasquez and Lamont Brewster come to mind.

Even if he recovers from RD surgery, will he be the same fighter?

The Bud Crawford fight people wanted so much looks like an unlikely event.

It's a brutal sport. Prayers to Spence.

Is Pacquiao vs. Ugas a PPV??? Hell Naw!!!

If it is, I won't be buying it.

Damn I just saw this on Instagram. Well what EXACTLY is that injury.

Sad for boxing. It seems like every big fight falls apart. There's a problem when there aren't enough being made that every big one seems like it's cancelled.

No it won't. That's why Canelo walked away. He wanted the same guarantee if Plant pulled out and was replaced, Haymon wouldn't agree to it. Pacquiao will be taking a pay cut.

Hopefully, Pac and Spence can revisit this fight again some time down the road; Well at least until his eye heals from the detached retinal surgery. With Spence out it puts the entire Welterweight division on hold. i just hope when Spence comes back he takes a tuneup or two before resuming his boxing career and fighting the likes of Pacquiao and Crawford. He has to test the acuity of that left eye.

Spence might have missed that turn because of this. Tough guy didn't complain, but this sounds like he knew something was wrong for a while.
