    Mesi Bout Off For August 5

    It appears that Team Mesi is taking no chances with the boxing event headlined by Laila Ali in Capetown, South Africa. The Niagra Gazette reports that Mesi will no longer fight on the card, after the promoter of the event could not produce the promised $3 million for the fight, and only had $1.7 million. [details]

    A little disrespectful that you did not mention Ali. She was heading up the event.

      Ali is mentioned in the first sentence and her fight might still go on.

        Me error. She was heading the fight, so I thought she should be mentioned first. Apologies.

          now thats just being an ungrateful little bastard. mesi is lucky to be fighting, period. and now thats hes fighting again, hes starting to be a money grubber already?

          and his dumbass father thinks he can get more to fight a nobody in the US? get the **** outta here!

          mesi was gonna get paid 1.7 million to fight a nobody who had no chance of beating him and mesi pulled out cuz it wasnt enough. that is ****ing pathetic. whoever was responsible for making this decision (be it jack or joe or whoever) is a ****ing moron.

            Who was he due to fight, and after his last 2 comeback fights, why would anyone pay 1.7 mil for him anyway, let alone 3mil
