    I cant see it getting called off.They must be able to get him there by boat.Its pathetic if this fight dont happen.They will have had plenty of time to sort something.They should have got this sorted on the first day of the volcano farce.

    Hasn't the fat man come out and said the fight is 100% on?

    That probably means it's off to be fair!

    I think the planes will be flying again by Thursday.British airways are putting pressure on to get the ban lifted now.They tested a plane and say it came back ok.Also they are saying the volcano is calming down a bit now.I think it will lifted in the morning.

    Would be a shame if it does get cancelled. Saying that, looks like it is going to be a massive pain for the Froch army to get over there, so maybe a later date would benefit him a lot better - as hard as it is to say that.

    as harsh as it is on the fans, if carl can get there, then he should move heaven and earth to be there.

    Yeah, agree with that. He would've had hardly any fans in the US when he beat Taylor anyway so he must be confident being away from home.

    Last thing the Super Six needs is more fights being delayed as well!

    Not that many, I know he was still trying to advertise tickets last week. He started with 2000.

    Obviously doesn't make it less of a worry for them though.
