Hold off... think I confused myself. I think he said it was called off because of Inoue's promoter because of Arroyo's ranking... which is #1 in the WBO...at least when I checked the January rankings

Naoya Inoue vs McJoe Arroyo order to negotiate called off in light of protest from Inoue***39;s promotor regarding Arroyo***39;s ranking.
Their arguement:

Honestly, I don't mind him being the mando... but I understand their questioning of the rank jump.
Inoue beats McNuggets Arroyo.
The Stupidest names I have ever heard in boxing are McJoe and McWilliams. Sounds like something at McDonalds
Inoue beats them both faster than Joey Chesnutt does at those hot dog eating contests.
Arroyo's last 2 fights were IBF eliminators sort of surprised he's ranked so high in another orgz.
He looked really good against Marquez even though he's shot to bits...still it's a good fight if Inoue can't unify.
Probably argued he doesn't belong at #1.
You're right.... interesting
.@KFZ001 @PacoValcarcel That is precisely the nature of the complaint- that he shouldn***39;t be rated #1. We***39;ll have a resolution by Friday.— WBO (@WorldBoxingOrg) January 27, 2015
Probably argued he doesn't belong at #1.
All rankings are fucked, but odd that the trainer would protest that.
He's #1 in two rankings too, but he's hardly the first person to do that
Yea, I read it wrong. I tried to change the title.
Don't know what they protested... McJoe is rated #1 last I checked

I think the tweet is saying there will be no negotiations. Its been called off.
