    Low ticket sales is the problem. It's the sign of the times. The Big R. Recession.

    It is an unwritten agreement in the contract that a fighter will asked to fake an injury or sickness in case of low gate receipts. Fact!

    I tell you what, I have not seen a stretch like this in a long time. I mean, we're talking 8-10 main event or co-main event fights called off in less than 6 weeks. And this all can't be blamed on ticket sales. I just think fighters today are so petrified to get in the ring when they aren't completely 100%. And part of me can't blame them. But the other part of me says they fight for a living and are probably never going to be 100%. Regardless, this is a disappointing trend that boxing needs to take a look at, and do something about.

    Is boxing likened to courting a girl? The more you show love and affection, promising the sun and moon, etc., the more that girl will turn away from you. Let's ask Mosley for his opinion.

    You gotta be freaking kidding me!!!!!:twisted:

    I had my calendar marked up for all the big fights this month, crap. :fire

    The only one who can save this month is Victor Ortiz.

    And all we got in July is Darchynian for a high profile fight.

    Not to dampen your spirits either...
    But I heard a rumor that Ortiz has had some shoulder prob's going into his fight aswell.
    heard it from someone who does work & promo in connection w/ the Oxnard PAL.
    I have no link, So take it as you want.
