Plans for middleweight world titleholder Billy Joe Saunders to defend his belt on the undercard of Canelo Alvarezs next fight as a prelude to a possible December showdown are off because Saunders rejected all of the opponents presented to him, Golden Boy Promotions vice president Eric Gomez told ESPN.
Wholesale Shoes Canada .com.Alvarez (47-1-1, 33 KOs), of Mexico, will challenge Englands Liam Smith (23-0-1, 13 KOs) for his junior middleweight world title on Sept. 17 in the main event of an HBO PPV card at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys, in Arlington, Texas.Golden Boy and Frank Warren, Saunders promoter, were in the midst of negotiating a deal under which Saunders would appear in the co-feature in his United States debut. If Alvarez and Saunders (23-0, 12 KOs), of England, both won, they would have a deal in place to meet in December on HBO as Alvarez, the lineal middleweight champion (but boxing at 155 pounds), builds up to 160 pounds in anticipation of a megafight against unified middleweight titleholder Gennady Golovkin next year.Golden Boy brought up three second-tier contenders as possible opponents for Saunders: Gabriel Rosado (23-9, 13 KOs), Curtis Stevens (28-5, 21 KOs) and Willie Monroe Jr. (20-2, 6 KOs). All are Golovkin knockout victims, but Saunders turned all of them down. Saunders also called out Golovkin for a unification fight earlier this year. When he was offered career-high money to face him in April, he turned that fight down as well.Golden Boys first choice was to make the match with Saunders and Rosado, which would get a fighter it promotes a title shot. Philadelphias Rosado, a fan favorite who is usually in exciting fights, agreed to terms and signed a contract, but Saunders turned the fight down.I was working hard with Frank to make this deal, and it was going well, but Saunders is not going to be on the card now, Gomez said. We tried to make it happen. We offered him reasonable opponents, and he said no. We thought it would have been great to have Saunders and Canelo on the same card before a possible fight between them. But now we are moving on.Even though Saunders wont be on the Sept. 17 card, we have not closed the door to still trying to make the fight for December. Im not sure what else Saunders wants to do, but this was a great opportunity, and Frank knew it. Anyway, the fight with Canelo could still happen at some point.Rosado has won two fights in a row but is just 2-4 with a no-decision in his past seven fights, so it came as a surprise that Saunders would turn down the fight for which he would be a big favorite -- not to mention the American exposure that would go with it. Rosado was ticked off.I signed my contract a week ago, Rosado said. From what I hear, Saunders wanted an easier fight. They didnt want to fight me. The WBO champ [is] acting like a coward.Saunders response to heavy criticism for rejecting the various opponents came on social media.Dont believe everything youre told, he said. Ill be in the ring very soon.Saunders won a 160-pound belt from Andy Lee by majority decision on Dec. 19 and has not fought since.With Saunders off the Alvarez-Smith card, Gomez said he is working on a new co-feature, but he declined to get into any details.There are others, however, set to appear on the card.Up-and-coming featherweight Joseph Diaz Jr. (21-0, 12 KOs), a 2012 U.S. Olympian from South El Monte, California, will appear in a fight on the pay-per-view portion of the card against an opponent to be announced, Gomez said.Mexican junior featherweight prospect Diego De La Hoya (15-0, 9 KOs), a first cousin of Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya, and middleweight prospect Jason Quigley (13-0, 10 KOs) will also be on the card against opponents to be determined, though not necessarily part of the pay-per-view telecast. Gomez said Quigleys bout likely will be part of the PPV free view show before the formal start of the PPV.Diaz, Quigley and Oscar De La Hoya appeared recently at Cowboys training camp in Oxnard, California, with team owner Jerry Jones to promote their appearances on the card.This is a big step up and great opportunity for me to showcase my skills and what Im truly about, Diaz said. I know that 126 pounds is a stacked division, but I want to showcase to everyone Sept. 17, with all the 100,000 people that are going to be at the AT&T Stadium, that I can be the next world champion at 126 pounds.I would like to fight any champion at my weight class. Hopefully, Ill become mandatory for the WBC so I can fight Gary Russell Jr. because I know he is the champion. But if not, if I become mandatory for any other world titles, Im willing to fight anybody: Vasyl Lomachenko, Leo Santa Cruz, Carl Frampton and Abner Mares. Im willing to showcase that I can get in the ring with the best and beat the best.Quigley is also excited to be on the card.Im absolutely delighted to be on such an amazing card, said Quigley, who is from Ireland. To be fighting under Canelo again is going to be amazing. To be fighting in Texas and at AT&T Stadium is a massive platform to show what Ive got. Im going to take full advantage of it and will be ready to shine on Sept. 17.

A ticketing frenzy has engulfed Saturdays AFL preliminary final, as Greater Western Sydney and Western Bulldogs fans fight to snap up fast-disappearing seats already being legally scalped for up to $400.A reported 18,000 tickets had already been sold on Monday morning for the 24,000-capacity venue to members of both clubs and ANZ Stadium.The venue for the clash has been a contentious point after the AFL stuck with historical modelling and scheduled the match at the Giants home ground rather than the much larger ANZ Stadium.The leagues decision, made on the basis that a maximum of 8000 people usually travel to watch their clubs play finals footy interstate, sparked fears the Bulldogs 40,000-strong member base would be left disappointed.The Giants have a membership of around 16,000.Die-hard Dogs fans camped out at Footscray overnight to secure their tickets while others encountered problems attempting to buy them online.Hours before the leftovers were due to be made available to the general public on Monday afternoon, tickets had already been advertised for re-sale on Ticketmaster at prices significantly higher than those set by the AFL.Category 1 seats initially on sale for $179 were up for re-sale at up to $401.The AFL FFans Association described the practice as legalised scalping and called on the league to address the issue.
Fake Shoes Canada 2020. This is taking advantage of desperate fans, president Gerry Eeman said.It is legalised scalping which facilitates blatant profiteering.The AFL will need to do something about this in the off-season.The re-sale rip-off has been happening for each final.Playing the game at a small stadium like Spotless means tickets are already scarce, which means supporters are even more vulnerable than usual.It is also wrong that these resellers have had access to up to eight tickets each.Wed like to know how this can happen for such a high-demand game with extremely limited ticket availability.Giants captain Callan Ward still believed the AFL had made the correct decision in granting his team their right to host.I think it is (the right call), Ward said.All our boys love playing at Spotless.When the fans get out there its a really good feeling.Its a great ground to watch the game at, I think it was voted No.1 in Australia.Its a great ground to watch the game and the players love being there.
