What a great shame. Made weight for nothing, doesn't get his night in Vegas, doesn't get to hype the Frampton fight, and likely won't get paid.
Boxing can be cruel sometimes, and for the sake of admin as well! (assuming its not a last minute medical issue)

Gutted. Will they be able to find a clubfighter for a non title outing? Not great I know, but at least it wouldn't be complete waste of a trip for him.

If Barroso does have hepatitis you can't really blame him.
Just one of those things I guess.
Though I am surprised that they don't have a reserve to replace him. Poor management there.

You'd of thought the Nevada commision would of found this out sooner not the day before.
Hope Selby gets a chance to fight in Vegas in the future.

Gutted for Lee.

I am having a complete brain fart today, what happened to his last scheduled fight? Wasn't that called off at the 11th hour too or was that someone else?

Got to. My pal, Tijuana1 got a few quid once when we were on the way to the weigh in and it got cancelled. I know it's a totally different level, but he's got a team to pay, etc. I doubt he can just spare it.

Feel bad for Selby, he is a talent, but he's not had the arena to showcase his talent.
Maybe needs to take a look at his management.

I think you're thinking of Lee Haskins when Randy Cabellero pulled out.
Selby's last fight was against Hunter on the AJvMartin bill.

Haskins also had a fight with Omori fall through for Dec 31st (on the Ioka Vs Stamp/Oguni Vs Guzman card)

You would have thought they could have got somebody in to give Selby a bit of exposure in a non-title fight .
Wouldn't have been a total wasted journey then .
