Nonito Donaire elevated to Main event Chavis Jr. fight Off

Sick Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. drops out of fight against Pawel Wolak - ESPN

"Instead of the Chavez-Wolak main event, Arum said he would elevate the scheduled co-feature, a 12-round bantamweight match between the Philippines' pound-for-pound-ranked Nonito Donaire (24-1, 16 KOs) and former bantamweight titlist Wladimir Sidorenko (22-2-2, 7 KOs) of Ukraine."

"Lightweight titlist Humberto Soto (53-7-2, 32 KOs) of Mexico defends his belt against Urbano Antillon (28-1, 20 KOs) of Maywood, Calif., and featherweight contender Miguel Angel "Mikey" Garcia (23-0, 19 KOs) of Oxnard, Calif., faces Olivier Lontchi (18-1-2, 8 KOs) of Montreal."

"I'm not going to cancel the show," Arum said. "Anyone who wants a refund at the gate can get a refund. But you can't cancel the show and do that to the kids who were getting ready to fight for the past six or eight weeks. You have an obligation if you can to follow through on the card."

Ok! now I've got to wonder if you can still buy a $200 ring side ticket and then get a refund at the gate. So you'd be basically watching this fight for free?

I wonder how much cash hes going to lose. Im not a big fan of Chavez JR anyway.

[ono]

Surely with this news he moves up to 3rd in the p4p rankings?

3rd? When was the last time Mayweather fought? I'm thinking he surely deserves 2nd.

Excellent point. In at #2.

When did Pacquiao last KO anyone?? By my calculations it was over a year ago against Cotto. He's clearly on the slide... and the new P4P #1 is....

This is one move Bob Arum hopes will be appreciated by the boxing community. Relegating the bottomline "profits" from a promoter like Bob, to take a backseat for goodwill, and to the protagonists who've all trained hard... a reward, is nothing but top shelf.

Bob Arum doesn't give a fuck about the boxing community. The only way you get a refund at the gate is if you don't want to come in. Seriously. This card is better without Jr though. Soto v Antillon should be topping the card really.

Hahaha! I'm afraid this is a case of my always seeing the good over the bad!

Seriously, I was not getting much into the merit of the refund, after all it was just fairplay, but what I'm impressing upon is Bob Arum's risk-taking in order that the show goes on.

He appreciates the toil that boxers involved in the cards have undertaken, and he is making sure that it will not go unrewarded at the very least by way of the "purse" coming its way.

Now that was stupid of me... to think that. Brain fart!

[InTheNeutralCorner]

This must have been a nightmare for Chavis Jr.'s relatives and fans who have already bought the tickets.

[amat]

So Latin Fury is being headlined by Donaire? lol. Soto-Antillon is a cracking fight, can't miss material imo.

[Spicoli]

Gotta agree Soto vs Antillion should DEF be main event ! A must see!

They are charging $45 for this thing Anyone working on links ?
