    If you took a vacation from your day job to finish a project and the project get's postponed, you still expect to get paid for that time. Simple as that. There's no difference even if the money is much larger with fighters. People are looking at this from a fan perspective, not a money earner in the real world.
    nobody cares if Roy is in this fight. the real attraction is Tyson. they can replace him with Briggs and not miss a beat. or better yet Holyfield

            Mike got knocked out by a complete bum 15 years ago and he's 54 y/o!

            Briggs is 48, won a world title since Tyson has been retired and hasn't lost since 2010!

            Do you see how ****** you sound, now?

            Briggs would obliterate this version of Tyson so stfu

              Is this a serious question?

You put your business on hold and invest time and money preparing for this big money-making event. Now imagine 3.5 weeks before you are to report to work, they call to tell you that your start date has been pushed back 2.5 months.
                Totally agree with this

                  Mike is the A side but don't fool yourself into thinking that Briggs brings more viewers that Rjjr

                  Holyfield, I can agree with due to their history, obviously.

                    Mike didn't postpone the fight, the promoters did.

                    That said, both guys will benefit 'physically' from a postponement.

                      Not necessarily in terms of who has the better chance of winning. But in terms of draw power, I think they're pretty close to even.
