Has a fighter ever withdrew from a ppv fight with a month to go?

I disagree. I think Canelo is giving GGG respect by killing it sooner than the NSAC was gonna do it... assuming they 100% where.

Canelo is allowing for this promotion to get moving to the fight it will actually be promoting in May quicker than the NSAC is doing.

Spot on. Out of all the dumb things Canelo (and his team) have done over the last month, this was the first smart and decent thing.

Look at him crying like a little girl.

Delahoya looks like he's crying as well.

Haye has pulled out of multiple PPVs with Fury and Bellew.

I forgot about that. He sure did.

Damage limitation. Hoping to pre-empt it and lessen the chance of losing sponsors.

I'm sure that was thought of & it'll probably help with the stuff you mentioned & maybe other things, but the real thing is Canelo saying he's out cuz this ABC Group sh^t was taking too long to decide for no good reason.

I mean I doubt this was 100% or upsides for this move weren't accounted for, but its still the move to make here with the realities on all sides & to be respectable to GGG after his "my bad" moment..

Absolutely. And if he does more things like this during his suspension, however long that migh end up being, his rep could be fully recovered byhis first fight back.

Fair enough. I don't think much of him at present but let's give him the credit for this one and see it as trying to do the right thing by us opponent.

British boxing disgraces itself with those early stoppages and **** refs during bigger fights really. Fury did nothing as bad as that sh@t

An early stoppage to save a fighters life is not a disgrace you pathetic clown.

Haye pulling out the bellew rematch with a tore bicep only other time I can think of. With a fighter pulling out that close to a ppv

That was an injury. He wasn't injured here.
