    I'm just glad you all got the rematch sorted out. I'm not too excited about Rigondeaux on the undercard. Maybe they can put Curtis Stevens on the undercard if he woke up from his coma yet. Perhaps a showcase fight for Stevens to get a little confidence back and relieve some of that embarrassment.

      So.... if not much has changed on the Main Events end, why was media putting out all that noise to make it seem like Ward didn't want the rematch or that there was an issue between ME and Ward? Duva is expressing no issues with the negotiations, the timing, etc. However, fans were crying and complaining every step of the way. I'm not surprised because we boxing fans tend to be emotional at times, but people had their panties all up in a bunch because a the fight wasn't finalized months ago. It didn't matter.

        I think people read too much into tweets and think they know everything which is where the weird emotional stuff comes into play

          You mean Ward talking like he was going to retire and tweeting **** like Kovalev has to wait on the rematch?
          Ward made it seem like Ward didn't want the rematch.
          They would be fighting this month but Ward chose to **** around instead
