Doesn't make any sense unless you view the Sanctioning bodies as the comic bookesque evil, greedy, villans that they are.Last edited by Mikhnienko; 05-03-2012, 08:00 PM.

How long has Pirog been champ? Has he yet faced a mandatory? Anyways, unification takes precedence over a mandatory. So more than like a Pirog-Geale will happen anyways. Of if by some miracle Sturm decides on Geale and Sturm-Geale happens instead.

Can't imagine a paycheck and a guarantee wouldn't solve this

A timeline of events to show how absurd the WBO is
- Pirog's mandatory is due June 25th
- Pirog and N'jikam in talks for a fight April 6th, nothing signed though, when Pirog injures his left shoulder.
- Pirog want to hold the fight May 1st instead, less than a month later and almost 2 months before his mandatory is due.
- N'jikam signs to fight Maksym Bursak
- WBO declares N'jikam-Bursak to be for the WBO interm belt.
*A Interm belt is usually awarded when a Champion is unable to fulfill their mandatory obligation due to injury. As mention above Pirog's May 1st fight proposal would have fulfilled that obligation two months early, why they're making this for an Interm belt is baffling aside from a obvious money grab having another "champion" paying them sanctioning fees.*
- WBO now declares that the winner will be Pirog's mandatory and that he must face them within 120 days which would be early September. How the proposed Geale Unification in August can take place now is looking more difficult.
