damn shame

that wouldve been an awesome card with the winners facing each other in a possible all puerto rican or mexican battle

[freeloada]

Lmao. Whatever. Bob Arum. Scum of the earth. Can't knock his hustle I guess. He'd rather have 2 different events to make twice the money.. Good for him. Sucks for us.

if hbo was interested i dont see how they could not afford the card pay each 300 grand and thats it case close. isnt that what berto makes each fight anyways

[UglyPug]

most mexican and ricans fight for more than just money - so i guarantee they could all work it out with HBO. Damn Arum. . .

[ChampBox@PR]

Arum just wants 2 separate events to make more money thats all.

Arum just wants 2 separate events to make more money thats all.

I'm thinking its more along the lines that since its coming towards the end of the year, there's less money left for the networks to spend on a 2-3 million dollar group of fights. Sucks for us boxing fans though.

Thats too bad that woudl have been a great card. I dont see how its too expensive to make.

Why is the Salido fight going to be held in PR again-WTF? Since Salido is the champ he should be defending his title in Mexico or a neutral loc like in the US. :?

[baya]

they should make juanma and wv2 go to mexico, it's the right thing to do.

but alas this mf'in world isn't fair.
