Boxingchronicles.com has been informed that Diaz vs. Malignaggi is very close to being a done deal. While the fight is not yet officially set, it has been determined that the agreed upon weight is 139lbs, the date will be December 12, and the fight will be televised on HBO. In terms of venues at which the rematch will take place, it comes down to Las Vegas, NV and Chicago, IL. Should both parties agree to have the fight in a neutral location, they'd be better served to put it in Chicago.
Las Vegas is probably a little too close to Houston to suit the comfort of Team Malignaggi. According to reliable sources, Team Malignaggi is waiting on a signed contract from the Diaz camp. Stay tuned for more to follow.
Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHey there. You don't have to thank me! :)
ReplyDeleteSupposedly Malignaggi is waiting for a signature from Diaz. Paulie is keeping his fingers crossed. He's really been expressing his interest in solidifying that rematch, probably in Chicago.
