    Yea I read this in the afternoon on the guardian and like I said last month this fight would never happen, this is the way frank warren works. He would use the names of his fighters opponents to get fans to buy ticket then the fighter would miraculously pull out of some shet, I would burn by this between 2001-2004 when he use this same tactics with Ricky Hatton when instead of Sharmba Mitchell we got a TBA/Some mini cab driver on "Shot notice".

      We've been hearing this fight might be off for weeks. Not a surprise.

      Time for Broner-Burns, I guess.

        That's what immoderately came to my mind. What if Vasquez, who seemed unhappy with tha contract for te burns fight, got some step aside money to allow a broner burns showdown

          I'm not really familiar with warrens dealings but I read a small article that implicated that warren uses the "bait and switch" often but didn't really know what he meant, so you kinda clarified it thanks

            Bait-and-switch.

                Yes he has been doing this for a long time, even during his Naseem hamed days and especially during Ricky Hatton WBU run. It was only when Hatton threaten to leave him that we got Kosta Tsyzu, he would basically say my fighter is fighting this guy (Someone who is either a titleholder or a well known name or both) the fight is announced and tickets are now on sale, then two weeks before the fight the other side either never agreed to anything or he didn't fulfill his contractual obligations and then he would blame the other side for pulling out by asking " for too much money" and by "chance" he already has another fighter training to take the named fighters place on a "two weeks notice" but not really because that was the real fighters from the beginning... I got burned twice by Warren pulling off this same stunt and the reason why I dislike that Knut.
