It was recently confirmed that the anticipated contest between Manny Pacquiao and Errol Spence Jr had to be cancelled.
Reports confirmed that Spence Jr had a torn retina; therefore, he could not compete at the August 21st event.
A replacement has been named in Yordenis Ugas, although fans are still devastated for Spence Jr and the cancellation of the much-anticipated fight.
The fight in Las Vegas was set to be one of the big marquee bouts of 2021, following 18 months of boxing and other sporting events behind closed doors.
Understandably, quite a few fans are disappointed that the bout had to be cancelled, despite Pacquiao still getting a fight on the card.
Several fight fans took to Reddit to share their frustration with the bout being cancelled. u/frutoman said: "My dad bought me tickets to watch Spence fight manny.. man, this blows. Praying for Spence to heal up, so they eventually fight."
From Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder 3 being pushed back, Fury vs Anthony Joshua being cancelled, Gervonta Davis, Devin Haney, Ryan Garcia and Vasyl Lomachenko not fighting each other, and Nonito Donaire vs John Riel Casimero getting cancelled, u/Ossslot seemed to speak for the whole boxing community when he gave his assessment of the situation. He wrote: "I’m honestly saddened.
"Pacquiao vs Spence was the one fight I honestly felt had no chance of getting messed up. I’m gutted. Just gutted."
