RIO DE JANEIRO -- The head of the Rio de Janeiro Olympics says the worlds top four male golfers have withdrawn from the games because there is no money to be won -- not because of the Zika virus.They tried to blame Zika, but the media have shown that they are not coming because theres no prize money, Rio organizing committee President Carlos Nuzman said Saturday, speaking with the games set to open in just under three weeks.Jordan Spieth withdrew this week from the Olympics, citing Zika. He joined Jason Day, Dustin Johnson, and Rory McIlroy in also saying Zika was the main reason for skipping the first Olympic golf tournament in 112 years.Their absence could be a setback for golfs future in the Olympics. IOC President Thomas Bach has said that golfs future may rest on its ability to get top players to show up.Golf is guaranteed a spot in the Tokyo Olympics in four years, but could be vulnerable after that.Zika is much worse in Florida than in Brazil, and golfers are playing in Florida, Nuzman said.Male golfers have also cited security worries, and some have complained that Olympic golf has been wedged into an already crowded tour schedule.Rio has myriad Olympic problems: Zika, security concerns, severe water pollution and sluggish ticket sales.Rio Mayor Eduardo Paes warned in the wake of the attack Thursday in Nice, France, that fans in Rio could face more checks, more roadblocks and more delays.Probably the security forces are going to demand more blockades, more inconvenient things, Paes said.Nuzman, speaking at a debate sponsored by a local magazine, seemed to be bracing for small crowds at some Olympic venues. Organizers says about 70 percent of tickets have been sold.I dont think we need too much public, he said, adding that smaller venues could save money.Television does an extraordinary job, with cameras everywhere, he added. Nobody can walk a step without a camera filming it.Nuzman also said he expected Rios suspended drug-testing lab to be ready when the games open Aug. 5. He expected the World Anti-Doping Agency to give its approval in a few days.The suspension has been an embarrassment for local organizers and a headache for the International Olympic Committee, which could be forced to send blood and urine samples abroad for testing if the lab remains closed.---SNTV producer Filipe de Almeida contributed to this report.---Stephen Wade on Twitter: http://twitter.com/StephenWadeAP .His work can be found at http://bigstory.ap.org/content/stephen-wade Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Italia .

It is all about levels and progressing, said Lopez, 26. Roman is a very good fighter and Im ready for a tough fight. Hes progressed a lot. Hes a good puncher, counterpuncher, and works the body. But Im ready for whatever he brings. A win would be huge (because) it puts me in contention to fight a world champion.Roman, also 26, has won 13 fights in a row since an eight-round decision loss in 2013.Ive been extremely active over the last few years and now all the hard work is starting to pay off, Roma said. This is a tremendous opportunity and the type of fight Ive been preparing for. Adam Lopez is a great fighter, and hes highly ranked just like me. We are going to give the fans an exciting fight.I can box, I can brawl. I give the fans what they want. I think people are going to be impressed with how I fight. People want to see a fight and I know Im going to bring it. Boxing fans are going to know who Danny Roman is on Jan. 20.There are also three scheduled eight-round bouts on the telecast:Super middleweight Ronald Ellis (13-0-1, 10 KOs), 27, of Lynn, Massachusetts, will face Christopher Brooker (11-2, 5 KOs), 25, of Philadelphia.I need this to further my career and put me in main event fights, said Ellis, the older brother of rising welterweight Rashidi Ellis. Ive seen Brooker fight a few times. Hes a tough guy who comes forward and comes to fight, and that is perffect for me.dddddddddddd Brooker will be there for me to hit, and it will give me a great opportunity to showcase my talents.Brooker is looking to rebound from his first defeat, a 10th-round knockout to Ronald Gavril on Oct. 8. Im ready and excited to get back in the ring, Brook said. I cant wait to fight another undefeated fighter on ShoBox. Im still looking to get to the next level. I was at Ellis last fight, and I saw an average fighter compared to the guys Ive fought. Hes solid, throws nice, short punches, but runs out of gas.Chicago junior welterweight Kenneth Sims Jr. (10-0, 3 KOs), 22, a 2013 U.S. national amateur champion, will take on Wellington Romero (12-0-1, 6 KOs), a 2012 Olympian from the Dominican Republic.This is the biggest fight of my career, said Sims, who will be boxing in his first scheduled eight-round bout. I will be prepared for anything that I have to do. Ive seen videos of Romero and I know he is a good fighter. I fought world champions in the amateurs so its not a big deal to fight him. I need to take care of business and get my win on national television. Its as simple as that.Sims was a main sparring partner for Manny Pacquiao when Pacquiao was getting set to fight Floyd Mayweather in their 2015 megafight. He also served as a Mayweather sparring partner when he was preparing for his retirement fight against Andre Berto later in 2015. In the 2012 Olympics, Romero, 25, lost to eventual gold medalist Vasyl Lomachenko.Im looking forward to introducing myself to the American public, Romero said. Sims is a good fighter, but I will always like challenges, and this will be my biggest challenge as a pro.In the opener, St. Louis Stephon Young (15-0-3, 6 KOs), 26, will face Daniel Rosas (19-3-1, 11 KOs), 27, of Mexico, in a junior featherweight fight.
