    Come on, Natural 1, cellz, please make a plausible argument as to why Escobedo should be blamed for this fiasco.

    bro, i aint never said it was COMPLETELY on bedo. i have aknowledged that it is entirely BRONERS FAULT.

    i said its in Escobedos hands to decide whether to TAKE THE FIGHT or not. its his choice simple as that. i would love for this fight to happen and u guys are lying to yourselves if ur claiming u dont want to see it. but im completely fine with and understand if Escobedo dont want it. ive mentioned this **** already.

    Don't even think this is up for debate. 100% blame on Broner.

    Escobedo tried 3 different ways to make the fight happen.

    Extremely unprofessional stuff from Broner and his team. All the blame should be laid at his door.

    Hopefully this will end the comparisons with Floyd Mayweather, not only does the kid bear no fighting or athletic resemblance to Floyd, but he has nowhere near Floyd's discipline.

    Let down a lot of people.

    Khan maybe arrogant but he has a warrior's heart and a will to fight the best out there, even if he doesn't have the fundamentals or chin to compete with them. He wouldn't pull this sort of **** in a fight isn't exactly a big occasion.

    Everyone wants to see the fight, but nobody wants another Gatti-Gamache

    Escobedo's team have been very accommodating, Broner's team have been very unprofessional

    What kind of question is this? Of course the blame is on Broner.

    If Broner had apologized and clearly tried to make weight like Brandon did and didn't make it, I'd give him some credit and would be interested since it would be a more even matchup.

    It is clear he never intended to make the weight from the start and wanted to take advantage of a fighter who went through the rigors of cutting weight.

    I voted Esobedo because while it's Broner's fault this **** is even an issue, Bedo was presented with a very generous (over double the purse and a WBo title shot) offer and the weight difference is what 3 pounds between them? It actually would have come off better for him, I blame his lack of quality advisement.

    Escobedo made weight though which is a clear sign that he was prepared to fight, all he did was not agree to fight someone who wouldn't try to make the weight.
