    Seriously, I'm just wondering.
    doubt it unless it is very severe.

    most cuts are stopped because the fighter can't see and fight effectively.

    i saw an mma fight stopped because a cut on the ear once but that was because the mma fighter had very severe cauliflower ear (most wrestlers do) and it burst when it got punched.

      Oh **** that reminds me... remember when Margarito tore that guy Lujan's ear off? That close-up was hard to watch.

        What's up with Floyd's rib? "Oh, it was FREAK accident..." ...oh wait! We still have a ton of tickets to sell... we should postpone the fight until the Mexican Independence day!


        Honestly, i don't think 3 months is enough time to promote a mega fight of this magnitude. Plus, Pac has mentioned he wants to take a vacation. They mentioned a 10 week training camp. So that leaves 1 month or so to spend time with his family. Also, he has his birthday coming up... who would he invite this time? lol Now how in the world can he travel and promote the fight with such a small window of free time? i think its very unlikely that a March date will be set. May is looking more likely.

          Without a thorough exam, the doctor can't really tell whether the blood is coming from serious head trauma... or a superficial cut inside the ear.

          And it makes perfect sense to stop a fight if blood is pouring out of some guy's inner ear. Gotta play it safe. You can't really do a good diagnosis on the ring apron in 15 seconds with 20,000 people screaming and no diagnostic equipment.

                  Yup. As a pac fan, I agree with you. To be fair though, there are several articles on a busted eardrum. So be kind.

                  example.

                  Pencil In The Date: March 13 A Tentative Go For Pacquiao-Mayweather

                  By Michael Woods

                  You shouldn't use a permanent marker to pencil in the date, it'd be wiser to use pencil, because these things can change on a dime.

                  That wouldn't be optimal for Team Pacquiao in terms of getting ready, considering he suffered a busted right eardrum in his Nov. 14 fight with Miguel Cotto (TKO12 win), and his trainer Freddie Roach wants more time for him to heal. But the money is too good to pass up.

                    I am being very kind. And fair. I understand there were rumours out there. Which is why I provided info directly from THE DOCTOR.

                    So now that we have the real information, we can operate on that.

                    And if people choose to continue on the false info, I will not be kind.

                      That would be great. Cheers.
