Dan Rafael thinks GGG/Canelo II in serious jeapordy

[Eddy Current]

"Anyone who doubts Canelo-GGG II isn't in legitimate serious jeopardy of being canceled due to Canelo's two failed PED tests I offer just one exhibit: HBO didn't use its Saturday Dillian Whyte-Lucas Browne fight telecast to promote the PPV and also left it off its upcoming calendar of events. This is serious, folks. I asked HBO spokeman Ray Stallone about it. "When a fighter is temporarily suspended it's best to pause on programming promotion and resume when all is settled," he said."

"Those who say Canelo's hearing on April 10 with the Nevada commission is just for show you have no idea what you're talking about. Canelo-GGG II is in serious jeopardy. Remember, the same Nevada commission declined to license Mike Tyson years ago and sent the fight with Lennox Lewis, the biggest in boxing history at the time, elsewhere."





One positive though, if GGG vs Saunders happens it hopefully won't be PPV!!

[Eddy Current]

Also, does anyone know what Tyson did to make the Nevada State Athletic Commission refuse to sanction the bout?

I’m so over this rematch I could careless. The first fight wasn’t even that good anyway. Just make the Saunders fight already or fight someone else.

Dan must read here. I've been saying this for a few days now!

[True That]

This whole thing is clouding and damaging the fight. It's all people are talking about. Not about the fight itself, but about the failed tests, suspension, etc...

So yes this fight is in jeopardy of being postponed or cancelled. I'm not sure if they want to deal with this circus, so it is possible it gets cancelled.

We'll see what the next chapter of this Circus is going to be.

Thank you! Some posters want you to believe the first fight was like, awesome. It wasn't. The second fight would be the same.

He threw a punch at Lewis and bit his leg at a presser.

Ah ok lol. I've seen the video of that but didn't know the timeline and all that. I think I remember Tyson saying years later that he was high on coke during that incident.

Also, Fathom Events, the PPV distributer of the PPV in movie theaters no longer lists the fight in its schedule and has removed all material on the fight from the website.
