Thread: Floyd Mayweather Jr Vs. Juan Manuel Marquez Postponed

Is there any truth to this? or is the fight just not selling well.

Yeah I just read about it. Apparently Floyd injured his rib. The fight is still far away though. WTF?

The fight is being postponed due to a rib injury mayweather has incurred. Gutted about this. was really looking forward to it.. don't know how long it's being put back by...

don't think it has anything to do with the fight now selling cause from what i've heard the fight was selling, there was plenty of buzz for this fight, it's no Dawson/Tarver 2

that sucks, to many fights are being cancelled or posponed lately

WTF another fight delayed/postponed!? That's BS hopefully, this fight will only be delayed two or three weeks.

I wonder if this has to do with slow ticket sales . If it was because he was injured, I would expect the injury to be on his wrists since he has hurt his wrists before.

Now what will I do with my tickets?

The fight was selling well for being a month away. Everything was right on track, plus the 24/7 would have built it up even more. More ticket's being sold, and more PPV buys. Fucking Floyd.

Threads merged.

This really sucks, I was very much looking forward to this fight. Hopefully it's only put off for a couple of weeks.

I dont buy it. How come it seems like every time there is a great fight on HBO Floyd announces something. Pac-Hatton, his comeback....Cotto-Clottey, his injury and postponed comeback. Give me a break. He wants it all to be about him. I think this an attempt for the public to get more interest in the fight by pushing it back. I mean they just previewed the 24/7 last night. Hopefully im wrong and thee is some legitamacy to this, but again the timing points to Floyd trying to steal the limelight.

Fuck off, people read way too much into it, but what happens to people who've boughten tickets already?

It's only postponed, not canceled. I imagine people with tickets will have the option of getting a refund or holding on to them and attending the fight once a new date has been announced.

what the hell is wrong with this sport

the 3 biggest fights of the next 8 weeks have been postponed with haye, kotelnik and mayweather all pulling out.

Its kind of hard to convince the mutual spectator to follow boxing when everytime a big fight is made there is at least a 30% chance one of the fighters will pull out

Obviously faking it just like Haye
