Valid point. I was reading an article that was suggesting it was a ploy for Pac to have better leverage at the table. But it makes more sense by the WBC to have that back up plan in case of Floyd vacating.. Either way, its quit comical. Floyd still hasn't made his mind up about the titles although he's most likely going to stay the WW champ.

I don't think it gives him leverage necessarily because Floyd can drop the belt and take Porter's. Then the WBC loses out on future sanctioning fees from Floyd's last 4 fights.

WBC always corrupt. Devon was number 1 without doing anything at WW, Khan moved up the rankings too just because. If anything this is insurance if Floyd vacates the title and they have another cash cow to pay them Valid point.

If Golden Boy wins the purse bid and Arum backs out its a flat out duck in my opinion. Same way if Top Rank won the bid. This is the only way possible this fight ever gets done. Let the highest bidder promote the fight and be done with it. That said I doubt it happens. It makes too much sense. Either side would just go out and say they're not making as much money as they could make going to purse bid

I was wondering if Bob was paying to bump Pac up the ranks for better leverage. Quit comical to see him at #1 since he hasn't even fought a WW in the past 2 years let alone a legit WW since Cotto. This #1 ranking smells of Bob Arum working his "magic". WBC always corrupt. Devon was number 1 without doing anything at WW, Khan moved up the rankings too just because.

I don't think that eliminates Arum from the picture though. Floyd/Haymon want Arum entirely out of the way. Like what happened for the Cotto fight.

Bob owns Pac and unless he goes the Cotto route, Bob won't allow such a fight until he's ready and I'm not convinced he's done milking Manny of the Top Rank fighters just yet.

If they do a purse bid, Floyd can just chuck the belt and fight Khan for the WBA title or the diamond super gold platinum we just made this up belt title.

Suiliman wants that money. Lol I hope he force a purse bid. Put the purse bid on HBO and it will get 1.5m viewers. Like I said in the other thread, they couldve done this a looooonnnggg time ago. But for whatever reason they never did. Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

Too bad there's nothing the WBC can do to make HBO/Sho/GBP/Top Rank/Haymon/Arum stop beefing. It could get interesting if they try to strip Floyd and have Pacquiao fight Abregu for another paper title. But would Salamiman strip Floyd?

He can force a purse bid by rules and make them bid for the fight. That eliminated the entire promotional issue. Whoever wins the purse bid is lead promoter.
