    Sadly, most of their fan base doesn't know better. This isn't the first time it has happened 2-3 times previously.

    Does that make it right? The "card subject to change" tagline doesn't either.

    No excuses for this. I work in media and ads are changed at the last minute every single day.

    The fight cancellation happened days ago. Inexcusable.

    They can be but they can be replaced fairly quickly too.

    I'm no shill, but I can't possibly see this as a big deal, especially when I saw REPEATED ads for Mayweather vs Pacquiao a week before the fight, despite it being cancelled for months.

    A fight has to be signed before it is canceled.

    Not the point, don't care.

    As for SD, yes, they had ads running literally up until I believe a week before the fight was originally supposed to happen.

    Hilarious to be honest.
