So how about WBA now ordering Gervonta vs Machado fight...

I agree with your complaints. I also want all the good fighters to fight each other. Mares would be a waste of time for Davis as well. Not sure Machado can be competitive with Davis, either.

How can Machado win a World Champion and then be relegated, for Gervonta to spring up as a World Champion? Fres Oquendo hasn't fought in 5 years or so and is going to fight for a title to be called "World Champion" .. Miguel Cotto hadn't fought for 2 years then fought a Japanese bum for a "World Title".. The list goes on. Ridiculous. Problem is They are very clever to have it in their rules that They can do anything They want, really - so no one can do anything about it. They probably don't have to be involved in any real "old school bribe" either - just creating a system where They work with influential promoters and in return for going along with what promoter plan, They get their share back in sanctioning fees. Machado was degraded because his opponent didn't make weight... and Gervonta gets to fight a guy who didn't win a fight in 2 years and never fought at 130 - and is The Champion now... Why? Well, because Lenord Ellerbe and Floyd have relationship with Mendoza. No other reason. Machado and Golden Boy are probably also happy - not having to fight top guy, but getting to promote their guy against overmatched and hand-picked opponents. Get the ***** out of here. Disgusting crooks.

The WBA are a ****ing joke. All the lies from Gilberto Mendoza at the start of the year about getting rid of the 'regular' belts. The sanctioning fees are too good though obviously. Add to the fact that when we do actually get a decent fight, we pay through the nose for it.

Ok - another mismatch for Machado... Why do we have to fight two top guys against overmatched opponents in fights that no one wants to see... Instead of getting a proper fight between the two? Gilberto Mendoza should stop bending over for promoters who want to milk titles. Order it, Goddamit! Yeah. You do realise this is the WBA we're talking about here, right?:lol1:

Has boxing ever been so corrupt? Seriously, how can the term "World Champion" really be legally allowed to actually be used without somebody doing a class action against the Promoters/Organisations for DEFRAUDING the public. Like how the fook can Rocky Fielding be a World Champion? How can Machado win a World Champion and then be relegated, for Gervonta to spring up as a World Champion? Fres Oquendo hasn't fought in 5 years or so and is going to fight for a title to be called "World Champion" .. Miguel Cotto hadn't fought for 2 years then fought a Japanese bum for a "World Title".. The list goes on.
