      dude they agreed to this venue a long time ago. now the guy isn't even showing up or having representation at a press conference.


      i understand that he just fought, but at least make an effort to make it not look like you don't want the fight, which is pretty blatantly how it looks now.

        Says the guy that claims Wittaker and Mayweather are one dimensional.

        Ward told them he would not show up for the presser...why can't you get that thru????????

          floyd mayweather and pernell whitaker are relatively impotent offensive fightrs in the conetxt of all time greatness. not sure if you understand enough about historic boxer to know that most of the best fighters of all time have been offensive ones, and floyd mayweather looks off balance and out of place when he tries to do what they did. it's a limitation. call it a "dimension" that he just doesn't have.

          where'd that come from anyway :lol1? you one of the broke clowns who think "floyd walked canelo down doe?"

            there are also a lot more issues than you're recognizing. the biggest one is the venue; it's booked, but last week rocnation has told duva not to talk about it. they got word from rocnation not to talk about the venue, even though they'd planned to announce it officially. the issue with the venue is apparently so serious that they didn't announce ticket sales, which they were scheduled to announce at this presser. this is a HUGE DEAL in a PPV fight in vegas, where people fly from all over teh world to stay in hotels and gamble.

            another thing: when tickets sell, they pull in revenue! they start to make money! duva is a small company, and htey need dollars to support this promotion and pay sergey and pay for the venue.

              This fight falling apart would be inexcusable.
