Comments Thread For: Canelo Injures Ankle, Withdraws From Clottey Clash

[I_like_wendys]

He couldn't handle his roadwork

[v.cassiusali@ya]

finally, gbp realized clottey brings nothing to the table...

why fight a man who's so scared to throw a punch against pacman?

Team Canelo realized Clottey wasnt gonna lay down like he did for Pacquiao.

^^^Clottey's country men turned their back on him after the Pac fight, now he wants redemption. No way was he going to lay down for this one.

Another fabricated injury. Fighters of today get injured at such an exponential rate---its gotta be fake.

clottey fight wasn't needed and after coming off 2 ppv wins he bout to chill the rest of this year, and should fight cotto next. no need to hold off anymore of these big fights. the year has been stale next year better start off with a huge ****. time to cut the crap and fighters need to fight!

[puga]

Was lookin forward to seein this fight also but as long as we get the cotto fight im good with it...

[white ducker]

looks like khan put his foot down and kicked the mexi-CAN off the date

king khan a bigger draw

I'm not saying Canelo is lying, but I think its more likely that Herschman couldn't get the suits at HBO to approve more money for the budget, even for someone as popular as Canelo. Herschman has shown he can be successful without a huge budget so you can't really complain.

But man, Canelo and cotto are proven money makers and ratings getters. Guess those arena site fees are just too expensive.

i really thnk that promotors do this stuff for publicity.


not sure about this one, obivously, but i do believe that it's done very regularly. david haye used to make a career out of it.

Hopefully HBO puts that 4 million towards more meaningful fights. I understand why they were paying that amount but the fight kinda ******.

This is what I'm hoping as well. Maybe Kirkland wakes the **** up and accepts a fight with Clottey. HBO better not drop this date.
