That means in May?

So, I guess we can expect they'll both be fighting garbage opposition until then. Boxing as usual.

wow wtf
Thats anytime between september to december in 2017
So at the absolute minimum you're gonna have to wait for 14.5 months until it happens

This is why UFC is becoming so popular, so many match ups are just not getting made.

If GGG fighting Eubank Jr rumours are true then not really that's a hard fight, I sure do hope Canelo plans on fighting at a higher weight cap than 155.
He could easily make 160 but If need be 157/158 in September then 160lbs in May.

Verbal agreement for Fall 2017. At least I don't have to watch either of them until then.

I'd be happy w/ Eubank/GGG. I'm one of the few that thinks Eubank is decent. I just fear that management will fk with the opponent selection to ensure they both coast to a super-fight next year.

Translation, let's say something now to try to save face and we'll figure what to say next year.

Boxing is so frustrating. Really? You are going to verbally agree to a fight that will be 14, 16 months from now? So ****ing ******.

I can't believe Oscar let things play out this way... it's been soooo bad looking. Talked all that big boy shyt just to lie about making the fight and dropping belt..just to agree to fight fcking next fall??????????????

Canelo needs x3 tune ups I guess
