The reason Keith Thurman dropped the WBC is because he wants Pacquiao next

Thanks for the heads up, why would they change that Haymon probably asked them to.

Keith held onto that WBA super title, because his mando is the winner of .pacquiao Matthysse regular wba belt fight, he is obviously hoping Pacquiao wins, and he lands a big money match with him in the states since pacman is no longer promoted by arum If mattysse wins thurman is screwed because goldenboy will not do business with haymon. So thurman is taking a leap of faith here hoping pacman pulls off the upset. Pacquiao might not be the same draw he was years ago but if matched with thurman and heavily promoted. The fight will do at least 800k buys. He is still the biggest name in the division. Pacman is the biggest name and the easiest fight to win for thurman, pac is the weakest guy at 147, he might not even survive matthysse at this point in his career. Skeete even said it he wants pacquiao because he is the biggest draw in the division left and he is the easiest to beat Make it happen! Will watch it

because nobody knows lucas, casuals bet on name alone Lucas is the best bet here, he has more left in the tank and never tasted that type of fame, he hungry, pac just fighting for a check. Ill take the bet too, i just hope it gets wider for manny so i can make more money on lucas by ko after 6. Of course people that wager on Boxing in the gambling world know Lucas Matthysse. The lines just dropped so there is no substantial public perception yet. I believe the line started at -200 for Pacquiao so essentially public perception (wagers) put him up -25. I hate Pacquiao and I would love to see you win, but Matthysse is getting going to get stopped. Look at how he folded against getting thumbed against Garcia or how Postol put him to sleep with a 40% KO ratio. Then there is Molina who almost had him too. Postol and Molina are b-level fighters. Plus the fight is in Kuala Lumpur, one does not simply walk into Kuala Lumpur and get a decision against the guy who brought a lot of revenue to your poor arsed country. Matthysse needs a ko to win.

Nonsensical thread, it not BS. Injuries are not that hard to prove. Hell would break loose if One Time is proven to be lying.

Pacquiao is the favorite.

Giant flaw in your theory. The WBA world champion isn't automatically the mandatory to the WBA super champion anymore. That rule was changed years ago. Thanks for the heads up, why would they change that

You just live to trash Pacquiao. You don't know Thurman's reasons. You are just guessing. Pacquiao beat the hell out of your beloved Horn and got robbed. Crawford will finish Horn off for good. Pacquiao is well past prime but he has enough left to beat Lucas and give Thurman a hard fight if they fight. Just ask Vargas.

So thurman is taking a leap of faith here hoping pacman pulls off the upset. Pacquiao is the favorite. https://i.imgur.com/zI3ahJu.png

Pacquaio is the betting favourite.

Boxrec says that Jeff "The Hornet" Horn is the biggest name in the division, and people here on NSB say he's the weakest in the division, so I still struggle to understand why even Keith "One Time A Year" Thurman is ducking The Hornet. Im talking about international fame, boxrec rates that now?

I wanted for Mayweather to face Keith instead of Berto. I could probably respect that more than luring up Lomachenko.

No he dropped it so that he is able to win it back again, giving him a reason to duck Spence again
