Mayweather-Marquez postponed

[safc1990]

Floyd out with a rib injury .

[El Cepillo]

Shit. Whats going on at the moment with all these injuries :huh

[GPater11093]

fuck sake looking forward to it

[kosaros]

Oh come on this is becoming ridiculous!

[GPater11093]

Maybe JMM wont let Mayweather put it back and fight Pacquaio instead

and my man Mayweather fights Mosley instead this sounds amazing hope it happens

[Jack Dempsey]

Bloody fuck

[kosaros]

Maybe JMM wont let Mayweather put it back and fight Pacquaio instead

and my man Mayweather fights Mosley instead this sounds amazing hope it happens

That will NEVER happen. :lol:

[GPater11093]

Kos stranger things have happened

[ishy]

This is getting too fucked up. What's with all the bastard injuries lately? :fire

[kosaros]

Kos stranger things have happened

Maybe so, but pac-man is out of the equation at this point in time (could never be ready for the July 18th date), so Marquez would have to fight someone else if he does not want the mayweather fight postponed.

[GPater11093]

i know it wont happen be good if it did though

[bringitondown]

All these fights being cancelled/postponed is really starting to piss me off!

[Mandanda]

I think if this fight ever happens he's giving Juan more chance as he can adjust and have more time to fill into weight.

Sad it won't be happening but i see the huge fights happening sometime soon so i be patient.

[gasman]

Depressing....

[ishy]

Any news on how long he's out for?

[john b]

Very true ishy and now the khan fight maybe in doubt due to kotelnik getting a tooth infection.

[NO MAS]

Are the contracts for this fight off to the shredder???? :think

Yeah, you expect the odd fight to get postponed every now and then but this is 3 pretty big fights in the space of a month :-(

[Axl_Nose]

Fighters nowadays compared to the warriors of old are so 'precious' ..
Harry Greb and Joe Frazier used to fight with vision in one eye, Back Injuries, Tooth Aches and these kinds of slight injuries were always affecting fighters, nobody was in perfect shape back then but they gritted they're teeth and thought nothing of it .. It was a different era and the guys from 1900 to 1980 were the true warriors, some of the stories from the 20s/30s and 40s are absolutely inspiring ..

Im probably being harsh on Mayweather and Haye because i dont know the extent of they're injuries but i have a feeling that if a fighter in the 20s had they're injuries they'd just get in the ring and fight .. Nowadays a fighter needs to have the psychological comfort that he is in perfect shape. Also in the glory days they fought so often that it was inevitable that they were never 100% when they entered the ring ..

It seems that they all need to be rapped up in cotton wool. I mean the Murray and lawton fight could have easily been called off. I mean I know its not in the same seetings as the other three called off, but the way they train needs to be looked at.

[mak65]

This is just a fukin joke now. Who ever is bringing bad luck to boxing please day quietly.

[Dan684]

What is going on here ?

1st Valuev Chagaev is off
2nd Haye Klitschko is off
3rd Khan kotelnik is virtually off
4th Mayweather Marquez is off.

All in the space of a month. Is something going on here that us people at ESB are clearly oblivious to ? Fighters nowadays just generally seem to show so much disregard to contract its unbelievable.
This is pissing me off now !

[onourway]

Fucking hell, this is getting annoying.

[ShaneTheSherrif]

This is fucking shite!

[faisal]

Floyd=vagina

[JIM KELLY]

Great!!
Its funny how they came over here to promote the fight? Britain is a cursed land at the moment!

All those weekends of boxing are now gone!

[Ilesey]

Unbelievable!

[Farmboxer]

I read it was about slow ticket sales.

[Brick-Top]

Does anyone anyone else suspect antonio margaritos been keping busy by touring gyms with his wraps as a sparring partner :bbb

[gasman]

I read it was about slow ticket sales.

That wouldnt surprise me, but if it really was postponed due to a rib injury, Mayweather could have had a tough time with whoever he was sparring???

[djoc175]

What happens to Matthew Hattons fight?I read a thread in General asking whether that would now headline.Now imagine Matthew Hatton topping the bill in Vegas:rofl

Good point I hadnt though of that!!! I wonder what will happen

[Dan684]

Fuck me i'm literally quaking in fear at the thought of Matt Hatton Headlining a bill. ARRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[djoc175]

I knew that would grab your attention.In Vegas no less,not bad for an area level fighter.That will not happen I am sure of it.
Will the whole show not be postponed?

[Brick-Top]

I wouldnt be suprised to see the fight go ahead, Matt hattons no bill topper in his own right, but Zab Judah is.

[Dan684]

God knows mate. I've got no problem with a fighter getting his shot at the big time. Its good for them and good for the sport in reality that people get these shots now and again and are able to realise their dreams. Just not this prick thats all. He unlike the Jennings'/Locketts of the world doesn't appreciate the fact that he isn't world class and probably doesn't desreve it. He thinks he's big time and I hate him !! :-)

What's not good for the sport is this muppet getting TV time on the undercard of Ricky Hattons fights in Vegas when a real prospect or better should be fighting.eg.Pac/DLH undercard=stacked with JuanMa Lopez and Victor Ortiz.
I was pleased for Jennings to get a decent payday vs Cotto.He atleast has good boxing skills and is a nice bloke-he has atleast had domestic success.

[Dan684]

Yep you know i'm not gonna argue that.

I find it amazing that someone who gets beat (ON POINTS - NO LUCKY K/O) by a David Kirk who came into the fight with a record of something like 9-43 and then gets thouroughly beaten infront of all his fans(his brothers fans too) by a solid domestic fighter who couldn't make it at European level, still gets this kind of exposure and still venamately denies it has anything to do with who his brother is.

Makes me mad thinking about it !

He has looked improved of late under Lee Beard though to be fair. I can see your point completely but he looked good against Tackie and Bami

[Dan684]

Brick Top - Never ever ever put the word 'but' in a Matthew Hatton hating thread :-)

[djoc175]

Both of them are shot though particularly Tackie.Good names but nothing more than that.I'm not exaggerating saying he is area level.He was beaten comfortably enough by Craig Watson.He doesn't seem to want to acheive anything by himself.Fuck knows how he got this opportunity to fight Judah on a big card without his brother.If Ricky retires,he might aswell do the same because all he has been doing is fight bums on his undercards

I do take intrest in Matts career but admitedly I very much doubt I would, infact I know I wouldnt if I wernt a ricky hatton fan.

:goodI'm glad you said that and I think that pretty much sums up his sham of a career

[GPater11093]

well

what ever Ricky can do...

Im sure Mathew can headline a show as a sacrificial lamb if he wants

[Kid Lucky]

It's probably easier to assume that no fights are on until you hear the bell ring for the first round - it is total shite at the moment.

:rofl:rofl He hasn't seriously had the gall to say that has he?

[Dan684]

Yeah mate i've heard him dispute it several times

[Mike_S]

Gutted about this as we payed 185 quid for tickets and would've been our first fight seen abroad. Still going, but no fight.

[GPater11093]

im kinda glad its postponed hope the fight dosent happen love Mayweater and JMM too much to watch them fight
