Message: [QUOTE="Super Freak, post: 3288331, member: 8536"] Zerafa has withdrawn from the fight against Tszyu and the excuse from his camp is pretty damn weak. They claimed they wanted to the date changed, but couldn't provide any valid excuse as to why they couldn't make the trip. They cited advice they received from the Victorian COVID Hotline, even though NSW Deputy Premier John Barilaro, NSW Health authority and Victorian COVID Response Team all saying it was safe to travel to Newcastle. Promoters offered him a private jet from a runway in Essendon that went straight to Newcastle, and even offered his camp a motel all to themselves. Then they, along with NSW Combat Sports Authority, offered to allow Zerafa to weigh-in on Tuesday in Melbourne, with Tszyu’s weigh-in at Newcastle, then flying him and his team straight to Newcastle on the day of the fight, and flying them out straight after the fight. None of that was enough for them. TV executives are pissed, vowing he would never be sighted on Main Event or Fox Sports after this. He stood to make $300,000 from this fight, which is 10x more than what he made fighting Mundine. I think he's running scared which is a shame because I was looking forward to this fight. Tim Tszyu will go ahead with a fight, but it's going to be against Stevie Spark instead. [/QUOTE]
