Fight Still ON

[Atreyu Khalil]

This is nuts. Jesus H. Christ on an ice rink, what in the HELL is going on?! Fight off, Fight on. Off, on, off, on, off, on. I just want to see Broner that's all. Come fight night either way, they'll be pretty close in size to each other. Broner might weigh 3 or 4 more pounds then Escobedo once they're both completely re-hydrated.

I understand why Escobedo's team is pissed, but they should know come fight night they'll be relatively the same size and there won't be this huge advantage. Not a fight changing advantage at least, if anything Broner will be more debilitated then Escobedo, because I'm telling you, Broner didn't look like he could come down anymore without completely draining himself, he was utterly shredded and ripped to the bone.

Escobedo and his management will be getting a $30,000 compensation, come on, let's just make the damn fight happen. If I'd trained for weeks and weeks for a fight, I wouldn't care if the dude outweighed me by a couple of pounds, I'd just want to make all the training and preparations worth it, not to mention I'd definitely do it if I was getting 30 grand for compensation. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying what happened with Broner was right, it's NOT. BUT, Escobedo will be getting financial compensation added on top of his purse, and he won't be outweighed by much come tonight, let's just make the damn fight.

Naw escobedo is scared because ADRIEN BRONER IS SO READY, HE'S IN MULTIPLE SHAPES: SQUARES, RHOMBUSES, TRIANGLES, AND CIRCLES!!!!!

Also, did everyone forget when Guzman came in 9lbs overweight against Funeka in their rematch? Nine f.cuking lbs! Guess what? Funeka went in and fought no problem. We're talking about 3lbs here. Come on. It's not right, but come on now. Like I said come tonight after they've both fully re hydrated they'll be about the same weight, Broner might outweigh Escobedo by 3 or 4 pounds.

I understand Escobedo and his management have to look out for his best interests, but he's being financially compensated and the weight difference is not that bad at all. I don't know, that's just my opinion, I just wanted to see this fight.

What are they gonna do with the main event?

Broner vs. some scrub for a non title fight? Or Escobedo vs. random guy for vacant? Or something else.... ugh who knows hopefully HBO addresses the issue soon.

[Horus]

Damn Escobedo 3 pounds is worth more than $180,000k
I did not know Escobedo was caking like that. TURNING DOWN 180K for 3 pounds??

I guess he figures HBO might give him another chance after his loss to Katidas.
Good luck with your career.

Broner vs Garcia set it up!!

[Tmann400]

exactly... thats 30 grand on top of the double'd purse offered.... his initial purse was $150,000 so that upped to 300,000 plus the 30.... $330,000 and still no fight..

Wait, wait, wait....They doubled his f.cuking purse?! On top of of the $30,000 compensation, And still no fight?! Wow. This is a joke. Like I said, what happened with Broner isn't right. But my god. Escobedo and his management are really milking this one if you ask me. If you ask me, I think they still want to fight, but they're trying to milk as much money as they can before they'll say "Deal, let's do the fight." But, hey, that's just MY opinion. But, like I said if you ask me, it sounds like Escobedo's management are trying to milk as much money as they can.

They're gonna make Broner fight Larry Merchant with 30oz gloves whilst wearing a blindfold, with his shoe laces tied together, carrying his daddy on his back eating a twinky. True ****, saw it on twitter.

[Tmann400]

So, Escobedo is now going to be making almost a $100,000 dollars more then Broner, and he still won't do the fight. Wow. I'm sorry but this has turned out to be a damn circus show, a joke.

[Cazadores]

The fight is officially off. Don't know what Escobedo is thinking. It's doubtful he gets another fight on HBO anytime soon. Surely won't get a payday like this. He won't even get a payday like the original 150k.

That doesn't excuse Broner though.

[Ray*]

Am glad this fight is off, If Escobedo goes ahead with the fight and gets KO the same people begging him to go ahead with the fight would be the same people laughing and begging for gifs, **** that!!! Broner is the only to blame here.

If so they gon **** around and get blackballed.
