Former world super flyweight champion Gerry Penalosa will benefit from the last-minute cancellation of the WBO title fight between Jimrex Jaca and former WBC/IBF featherweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez at the Don Haskins Center in El Paso, Texas this Sunday, Manila Time. [details]

i though jaca and marquez was the main event so its still a ppv but penalosa will be the main event?

De Leon vs Seeger should be a good fight.

No PPV good,but still good.

OH Marquez!! Career is getting worse...and lovelife too.

They should lower the price to 20 bucks, and the people will buy the ppv. Seems like what hbo doesn't want to do is have a fighter of theirs be over weight and then be all over the news because of it as what happened with showtimes Corrales.

The Standard learned that HBO wasn’t happy over the fact that Jaca didn’t have a visa as of Tuesday and even if he obtained one from the US embassy yesterday he would arrive in El Paso perhaps one or two days before the Marquez fight. There were fears that because of the jet lag and reports that Jaca was some four pounds over the 126 pound limit the fight may end in a knockout and the giant boxing network was not prepared to take a risk on a pay-per-view Event and cancelled the fight.

WTF?
what does HBO care how the fight ends
ud think a KO is more in lines of what theyd like anyways

does Jaca get a penalty?

oh boy, Marquez must be feeling lonely nowadays, I think he couldn't get any fight this year.
