Just when it looked like JCC Jr. actually had a pair, it turns out that the expectations by naive fight fans like myself are the victim of more Holy Rank shenanigans.
In a nutshell, Martinez signed the contract a couple of weeks ago, but JCC Jr. has been sitting on it for at least two weeks.
Classic Holy Rank bait and switch. Verbally agree to it in the press and then when it's time to put pen to paper.....

The Holy Rank bullpen over at ESPN have an article discussing this, but the writer still somehow makes excuses for the Bobfather. Mind boggling. Read it (only for the factual stuff and the quotation from Martinez' manager) and weep over the excuses made for the Bobfather and his unique company.

RingNews 24 has the below quote, that I'm particulary fond of, from Martinez. Good stuff.

"Chavez is afraid to get into the ring with me without the random drug tests. He will be even more scared to get in the ring with me if he has to take random Olympic style testing. I hope we have the tests but I really can't comment on that now" said Martinez, who strengthened his grip on the division with an 11th round stoppage win over Matthew Macklin last month.

Until the writers and people who make headlines turn on Arum, he's still got perception under his control.

They don't even need to turn on him, per se, just stop legitimising his lies. Try honesty for a change.
