So PBC can't provide Canelo a late replacement if Plant is injured, but Pac gets one, no problem?

    Do you have a source saying the fight fell apart due to PBC not finding a replacement?

    One thing I'd say here, is we don't know for sure whether Pac asked for anything - maybe the promoters figured this out on the fly once Spence informed them his eye was fecked?

    i.e. it might have been purely reactive, based on this cricumstances. Ugas due to fight his fighter had already pulled out, Spence pulls out, seems like a logical thing to do, but is more a happy accident to things rather than something baked into the contract or that Pac asked for.

    We don't know diddly about the contracts or how this replacement was fashioned. But as other's have noted, Ugas is with the same promoter, and also it's likely that if Pac got injured, Ugas would have stepped in to face Spence too. Plant was taking exception to the fact that if Canelo got injured he wasn't allowed a replacement.

    He is sick and tired of the injustice and persecution we put Sweet Cinnamon through on a regular basis, Nelo's wife has to read the Shadow saga for him every night to calm him down.

    Yes, levels. Like Errol Spence is levels better than Caleb Plant. Yet PBC found a replacement for Spence immediately so Pac could preserve his PPV payday on the same date.

    Canelo wanted a guarantee from PBC they'd replace Plant if he was injured in training, and yet they and many of you here said that was OUTRAGEOUS I tell you. What a prima donna. Unbelievable.

    Clearly, not a deal-breaker type of request. Clearly, it doesn't take a lot of phone calls to find a fighter willing to take on a huge star for a massive payday on short notice.

    Clearly.

    So you're worked up about some guy that's not you, not getting a guaranteed payday so that he can buy a gold plated massaging toilet seat?

    Oh for ****'s sake.

    I am worked up because I'm a boxing fan. Who likes to WATCH boxing, not just talk about it.

    Who has seen many top fights cancelled over the last two years ... due to COVID.

    So when fights now get called off by a company for a NONSENSICAL reason like Canelo's was ... and dumb "fans" applaud when fights get called off because their sole fun in life is just insulting certain boxers and hoping fights DON'T HAPPEN ... it pisses me off.

    Especially when, two weeks later, the company that couldn't possibly accommodate Canelo's late sub request so the card would go on had no problem accommodating Pacquiao's late sub request so his card could go on.

    Clearly, it wasn't a big deal to find a replacement.

    Unlike the growing number here who apparently just want to turn this site into a FANTASY FIGHT board, I like to watch ACTUAL fights.

    Not just talk about why THEY SHOULDN'T take place.

    Not insist late subs shouldn't be added so fights can GO ON.

    Not insist there isn't ENOUGH CAMP time.

    Sign the fights. Fight the fights. Enough of the cancellations. A guy can't go, fill his spot and keep going.

    That's why I'm worked up. Got it now?

    You're just another guy who actually said fighters shouldn't accept a $10 million payday and a fight against the biggest name in the sport right now, because a possible loss would "somehow" hurt their career.

    They should just make a special section on this board for "fans" like you who just like to spend all their time talking about why fights SHOULDN'T take place.

    And you can spend days explaining why Vitali never should've fought Lennox Lewis on short notice and how losing to Lewis HURT Vitali's Hall of Fame career.

    And how Jermell Charlo losing to Tony Harrison and only making a couple hundred grand doing so wasn't bad, but Jermall Charlo fighting Canelo for $10 Million and losing would be a career wrecker so he shouldn't do it.

    You know, knowledgeable stuff like that. :hang

    You're getting ahead of yourself now, I'm not Charlo's manager but his career trajectory has shown me that he will never take a fight on short notice.

    They should make a special section for commenters like you who don't read the full post and just harp on one point and b1tch about it.

    That can be your first post. You're doing great.

    Tell us more why you think fights shouldn't happen. It's so fascinating.

    I prefer to watch boxing.

    I prefer watching boxing over talking about why they shouldn't box.

    But tell us more about this wall? Hopefully it's not a load-bearing wall. I wouldn't want it to be a wall that actually does anything.
