    Andreas Hale ‏@AndreasHale 18s No rematch clause for Mayweather-Pacquiao. One fight deal. SHOWTIME SPORTS ‏@SHOsports 33s Regarding All Access & 24/7, no details are confirmed at this time. We will be doing ancillary programming to support the fight. Andreas Hale ‏@AndreasHale now There will be an all-star commentary team from both HBO & Showtime. It will be announced at a later date.
  2. Elsalvajeloco
    Well, the conference call going on right now will probably answer some of that. I think Iole and Leonard Ellerbe confirmed that info will be known over the next few days.

    Andreas Hale ‏@AndreasHale 35s About to jump on the conference call to officially announce Mayweather-Pacquiao in 5 minutes.

    Right now, UFC.com (at least the mobile site) has the Krakow and Adelaide shows as Fight Pass events. I think if the level of UFC on FS1 ratings stays at a certain level (ideally 750k - 900k avg.), I wouldn't rule out more afternoon shows on the channel. The Fairfax show will be a telling one because that's really one of the few shows that doesn't favor west coast viewers including when they changed the PPV time years back.

    Joanne Calderwood will fight undefeated Maryna Moroz of the Ukraine on the 4/11 Krakow card.

    Also in women's MMA news Ariel Helwani ‏@arielhelwani 8m Also on the PR tip, Cyborg, Tweet, Grasso & Aldana from Invicta will be @ the UFC 184 open workouts on Wed at the Torrance UFC Gym. Synergy.

    UFC Fight Night 60 did a good rating, but something weird happened. The peak was Daniel Kelly vs. Patrick Walsh at 1.07 million viewers. Yeah, MMA fans care more about possibly the worst fight this year than Shlemenko vs. Manhoef.

    Dan Rafael ‏@danrafaelespn 1h Basically every1 involved in #MayweatherPacquiao (both sides) simply waiting for Floyd to announce. All are calm & say negotiation complete.

    Brett Okamoto ‏@bokamotoESPN 10m CSAC executive director Andy Foster has informed me Ronda Rousey and Cat Zingano have passed random drug tests. Fight is officially a go.

    Lance Pugmire ‏@latimespugmire 11m Today could finally be that day: @FloydMayweather @MannyPacquiao ... Checking in with sources, who've been reliable throughout

    JDS will probably replace Cain if he gets injured and it likely be for the undisputed belt. Also, it would be stupid to waste one of those fights in Mexico. Anyway, I think they're working on Melendez vs. Alvarez for 188. I don't think they give a shit because they can sell tickets regardless.
  16. Elsalvajeloco
    Travis Browne vs. Andrei Arlovski, Joseph Benavidez vs. John Moraga, and Islam Makhachev vs. Leo Kuntz have been added to UFC 187 as well
  17. Elsalvajeloco
    Helwani just confirmed JBJ/Rumble, Weidman/Belfort, Cowboy/Khabib for UFC 187 (5/23). Helwani also just said Phil Davis' contract has expired and he may be a free agent. Condit/Alves may be made in May or June.
  18. Elsalvajeloco
    This was when Encarncao asked like 4 or 5 questions in a row. Last time I checked, said places were still open for business.
  19. Elsalvajeloco
    Hence, the press conference. I don't think they're fielding proposals from Steve's Body Waxing and Lumber Emporium Testing Supplies Company. I expect more answers and stories to come from this.
  20. Elsalvajeloco
    They admitted as such they aren't hiring some random company like last time. Epstein admitted their biggest mistake was not aligning with a USADA when the Cung Le/Macau thing went down. Now they are at a point where they can't afford to save money on testing.
  21. Elsalvajeloco
    Just because Georges St-Pierre ‏@GeorgesStPierre 2m Can't wait to get more details about the actual protocol, 3rd party testing agency and new sanctions.
  22. Elsalvajeloco
    Yeah, that was a very interesting aspect of it. I think that was part of the Q&A portion with Encarncao where Jack asked how the commissions would go along with the 3rd party testing failure. There is going to be a point where someone is not going to have a license with NV or CA (like Nick recently or an older fighter who has to reapply), fails a test, and the UFC has to punish them. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the problem with that is those commissions don't have the power to suspend anyone who doesn't have a license with them. So the only thing I can see is the fighter not applying for a license while under UFC suspension and then having to obtain one afterwards. It would like the same as Ashlee Evans-Smith having to submit a clean test BEFORE being able to even apply for a license.
  23. Elsalvajeloco
    Lorenzo (and Dana) actually hinted that it could be 4 year ban. Someone stated (Dana IIRC) that they know if a fighter is suspended nine months, he/she is basically only missing one fight. Dana used the example of a 28 year fighter potentially getting a 4 yr ban could be a career ender. Epstein mentioned that the co-main/main eventer testing could start as soon as 10 weeks out ideally so the results can be expedited. So they suspect Aldo, McGregor, Lawler, and Rory would be the first ones subjected to this despite the actual program being implemented starting on 7/1.
  24. Elsalvajeloco
    It should be noted that Jack Encarncao basically had his own little mini-interview with Dana, Lorenzo, COO/General Counsel Lawrence Epstein. I found that amusing. The other media people like Lance Pugmire, who mentioned he didn't get to ask anything, were not amused.
