    A boxer never got hurt close to fight night? C'mon Adam... people are trying to look way more in to this then needed. ESjr was a rightful favorite. The win would be big for his career. A cover up is crazy talk.

    Ugas is best bet because he was already on the undercard and was awarded WBA Super belt so world title on the line.

    You are going to have losses when you fight the best over and over again

    To be honest he should have no more than 7 losses

    He was stopped twice as a malnourished kid. I didn't say he was the best ever, but he has a huge claim of being the greatest

    Floyd is arguably better, as Ray Leonard was better than Duran

    However, Duran and manny are the greater fighters, that moved up more in weight with many more fights and greater longevity

    Pacquiao deserves his due signing to fight young, bigger lions at nearly 43 years old. Floyd didn't do it

    Frustrating AF. Can understand people being suspicious but it's also possible he has actually injured his eye. But with boxing, it's so hard to separate genuine misfortune from the all-to-predictable politricks which so often define the sport we love. Gutted...

    Why should they scrap the fight? PBC has the oppurtunity to have two big Pacquiao PPV's this year.

    Maybe, but boxing is full of snowflakes these days and guys are afraid of the L, especially the first one

    The only way this year could get worse is if Wilder beats Fury

    The skeptic in me says he needed time to flush out some PEDs
    Hard sparring this close to the fight? Or maybe he got the tear a while ago but he didn't notice it and the doctors saw it just now?

    Anyhow, I'm disappointed the fight is off.

    Drug test? I don't see it. The timing's very bizarre. Unless, they chose to tell the public later so Ugas could have extra time to prepare?

    Exactly! Theres no reward, and its possible that Ugas can upset Pac. Its a style matchup that pac doesnt do well against.

    Well, you aren't completely wrong about boxers these days. Floyd mayweather syndrome.... protect the "0".

    I don't agree, but manny is greater, so not bothered either way
