They should just cancel it. What is it, 3 weeks away? That's nowhere near enough time for someone to prepare for a big fight (against GGG, no less), or to promote the shyt.

Indian Policeman Wants Payback, Vows Revenge on Errol Spence
An aggrieved Indian policeman and amateur boxer wants a rematch with Errol Spence — and says he will beat the American star all over again.
Spence may be the undefeated International Boxing Federation (IBF) welterweight champion with a perfect 23-0 record, and 20 of them by knockouts, but he temporarily tasted defeat when he faced Vikas Krishan six years ago.
Krishan, who reached the semi-finals of the 75kg division on Wednesday at the Commonwealth Games in Australia, was at the center of a major controversy at the London 2012 Olympics.
The Indian boxer was initially declared the winner over Spence in their preliminary-round clash despite the Texas-based dominating.
Spence's camp appealed on the grounds that the referee failed to spot Krishan committing a number of fouls, including spitting out his mouth-guard intentionally and repeatedly holding.
Krishan subsequently had his shock victory overturned.
The sense of injustice still burns within Krishan, 26, as his and Spence's boxing careers go in starkly opposite directions.
Now, with at least bronze in the bag on the Gold Coast and plans to turn professional at the end of the year, Krishan is eyeing unlikely revenge against the man regarded as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters around.
"He's one of my main targets when I go pro — because of him I'm turning pro," said Krishan after easily defeating Zambia's Benny Muziyo in their quarter-final.
"First I need to win all of my (pro) fights, my first 12 to 15 fights, and then I will fight him," said Krishan, a former bronze medallist at world amateur level.
"I will beat him. I beat him at the Olympics and I will beat him again."
Fellow Indian Mary Kom, a household name back home and the subject of a Bollywood film in 2014, secured at least silver with her latest victory and will face Kristina O'Hara of Northern Ireland in Saturday's light-flyweight final.
But there was more heartache for Sarita Devi, India's other prominent female fighter, after she lost her quarter-final bout in the 57-60kg division.
It's also been revealed the 12 Million Dollars was actually 12 Million POUNDS, which is $18M.
Literally no excuse for Wilder to not agree to the fight now.
Joseph Parker got a 35% split.
$18 million of $100 million is only 18%. $18 million of $80 million is 22.5%.
Deontay Wilder needs at MINIMUM the same split that Jospeh Parker got, being that Wilder is much more popular/known than Joseph Parker was.
35% split of $80 million is $28 million. 35% split of $100 million is $35 million.
They need to come back to the table with a better purse split and stop being unreasonable if they REALLY want the fight
