    why are people acting like this brush my hair mother****er is a mini tyson because of the 3lbs. isnt this the same mother****er the boxing world thought struggled with pdl hes not a God or floyd. i understand if esco doesnt want to take his more than double purse hayman made it rain on him for principal reasons but i doubt his health is in that much more risk than it was if broner weighed 3lbs less at that point.

    its 3 damn lbs....

    so did you feel the same way with Marquez vs Floyd?
    Did you feel the same way when Ortiz vs Floyd?
    you think Sergio should fight Chavez jr?

    So the 143 to 140 weight difference is putting Escabedo's life in jeopardy?

    appreciate it gobb. real answer from a real dude.

    griffin - oh so his ceiling is around 140. if thats the case it gives more room for his argument. funny none of the other people wanting the fight called off used that as a reason or mentioned it.

    What about heavyweights like Haye v Valuev? and this guy crying about 3lb even when offered more than double his purse. I think they tryna **** up Broner right till the end and agree to the fight last minute, they know Broner is desperate with already his May date being cancelled and they will sink to any level may even fight for free because if fight gets cancelled Broner going to be in trouble with Goldenboy/ HBO

    Looks like a non-event Pete, or perhaps a very rare example of an EVT win without the fight even taking place

    I don't disagree, but this is still a poor decision by Escabedo, in my opinion.

    probably not but if Escobedo dont take this fight I will be sorry for his career.

    (yes this is Broners fault but he will live to get bigger paydays)

    Ok, someone in Cincy with HBO texted me that Haymon is making one last ditch effort to persuade Esco into the fight... #boxing

    Your repetitive posting has become tiresome, son...

    I was pissed at Floyd and put that offense in the same realm as Broner's. He's in good company, exactly as he wants to be.

    Ortiz and Floyd made the contracted weight.

    If Sergio or Chavez don't make the contracted weight, I will condemn the offender.

    He's gonna make him an offer he can't refuse.
