      Beterbiev- Gvozdyk is still good tho

      I like the Lomachenko-Campbell card, Spence Vs Porter is solid.

      I always love watching Kovalev fight and that entire card is filled with Russian prospects.

      Inoue vs Donaire


      But yeah that's about it isn't it...

      Prograis ducking Taylor sucks that was the best fight on the schedule. Loma-Campbell for three belts isn’t bad either. Least it’s not PPV.
      Prograis isn't ducking Taylor. The WBSS didn't put his money in escrow per the contract. WTF?

            One of most anticipated fights by casuals and hardcore fans was Alvarez vs Golovkin and the diva ducked.
            Now GGG fights Devy in Oct, Munguia takes over Alvarez's Sept. date and the diva waits for a "historic" fight.

              Everyone in the WBSS has to deal with those things tho. Taylor too. But you don't hear him complaining and pulling out of the fight because he actually wants to win and unify. Prograis is having second thoughts now that he is realising the risk might not be worth the reward. That's how I see it.

              If he doesn't get his money he can sue the WBSS if that is in his contract. But he can do that after the fight, I'm sure he would get his money anyway. There is no excuse to pull out now that the finals are happening. Not buying it.

                That's exactly what he did! He sued them to get his money! That money in escrow is a payment towards his purse for the fight.

                Do you really expect that man to go out there and fight without getting paid and then spend money on lawyers to get his money that was supposed to be there before the fight?

                Do you work for free?

                  I think he will get his money by default or the WBSS would be in big *****. Idk why you ignore my point that all the fighters in the WBSS have to deal with the same terms and conditions tho. Taylor as well. Prograis is ruining a great fight when he doesn't have to and you guys are defending the move...smh. the risk ain't worth it for him apparently like it is for Taylor.

                    Is Showtime still in the game or what?
                    Seems Showtime has spent all their money overpaying Wilder.

                      Have you noticed fighters have to threaten to sue to get there WBSS to do the right thing? Donaire just had to do it then suddenly the WBSS gets off their ass and do what they were supposed to do. Taylor vs. Prograis doesn't have a date or venue. If this fight doesn't happen the blame needs to be put squarely on the shoulders of the WBSS. This tournament was supposed to be finished by the end of July. You can't not pay fighters then string them along holding their careers hostage.

                      I hope the fight happens but calling Regis a duck because the WBSS isn't holding up their end of the deal is outrageous. No fighter should fight for free. Would you work for free?
