Comments Thread For: Davis vs. Santa Cruz Moves To Oct. 31 In San Antonio With Fans In Attendance

I said this months ago that they’ll move out of fear because of the UFC. Tank fears Khabib and if people had to choose a ppv to watch on that day, they’ll go with the one stacked with talent and interesting matchups.

Bad idea

Was seriously considering getting this fight but this changed that. So damn irresponsible. Greedy ignorance will not my dollars!

They knew the UFC card was going to destroy their sales. Dana white keeps on trying to s hit on all these mismatches in boxing.

Yep, thats what happens when you put mismatches on PPV, they obviously haven't got the responses that they wanted so far in sales, they obviously knew the UFC card is going to affect them, they definitely need fans to make up whatever loss they are going to generate.

Wasn't Stephen Espinoza among those who laughed the loudest when Canelo had to wait for an hour in order not to clash with UFC. Stephen is now delaying this crap for a whole week.

We all know why they really moved it.

Y'all are hilarious. There is no "fear" involved. It's just business moves. No one is sitting around, sweating, saying "oh my god we're gonna get crushed in sales by khabib! What do we do?!".... they just said "wait, we can do fans AND have a more clear weekend? Let's do it".

Also, Khabib and Tank/Santa Cruz fights are probably the PERFECT example of polar opposite interests. I highly doubt there's more than a handful of fans that would feel torn about having to pick one to purchase. You either love foreign Khabib "man mounting" other men and rolling around on the canvas, or you're a fan of Tank and his swag or the Hispanic fighting culture. Personally I have ZERO interest in khabib. And I'm excited about Tank and Leo. There's a crowd that feels the opposite and that's fine. But I assure you that hardly anyone interested in tank gives a **** about a khabib. And vice versa

This is the srtest post on this thread. I understand that fight fans exist and that's the people that watch K1 and crazy crap that too. Mostly the boxing fans watch boxing MMA fans watch MMA ect ect good post. I know I'm happy to see Tank vs Leo it's been a slow year for boxing.
