If they didnt kill Glenn, Negan wouldnt have been as ruthless as he was. That was probably the biggest moment in all of the comic. The comic still worked well without him, but yes it did hurt the show a lot.
They dont cancel the fight, the overweight guy just forfeits their purse.
I wouldnt be surprised if the big named fighters have something written into their contract where they get a few bucks if the fight is cancelled because opponent gets dropped from the fight.
Halfway through this and yea its awful. I cant even blame Burr, its pretty on brand for him. Its just annoying and triggering with how accurate it is of todays society.
