[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Boxing fans won't have to choose between competing premium-cable broadcasts September 9 after all. Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG) president and chief executive officer Dan Beckerman told the Los Angeles Times for a story posted to its website Thursday that the company brokered a deal among promoters to move the Leo Santa Cruz-Abner Mares rematch to October 7 at Staples Center in Los Angeles. The target date for the Santa Cruz-Mares rematch was September 9 at Staples Center, the same night the Srisaket Sor Rungvisai-Roman "Chocolatito" Gonzalez rematch is set to take place at StubHub Center in nearby Carson, California.

Co-main should be Rios vs Ortiz grudge match.

Smart decision plus I don't think they had a choice this an exciting match up. It'll be sad if it had gotten overshadowed by Canelo and ggg. I hope Abner Mares wins this time I like both fighters it'll good to split the battles. Just for my sanity lol

Good work by Beckerman. That being said what exactly is his role in this? Why does he care if they air on the same day. And lastly doesnt cruz-mares still have to do the purse bid?

Waste of time and money.
Are these sanctioning bodies ever watch fights at all?
I'd blame these people if something tragic happens to Mares.

Pbc is dominating the game like no other! Mikey vs broner, benavidez vs dirrell, leo vs mares!

aeg are haymons boys from back in the day when he was a big music promoter! They are all connected one way or the other! Mares vs cruz will be done before the purse bid is needed!
