The promoter spoke to TalkSPORT and said, “It’s not arrived and that’s where we are. I’ll believe it when I see it. We’re being told it’ll be here.” He then pointed out that until there is something signed, there is nothing to announce. Therefore, he shut down the rumors.
This comment will raise a few eyebrows since the site bid came from a reputed source like Mark Kriegel from ESPN. However, these comments from Warren could be a case of playing down the rumors if it falls through.
