There was to be a purse bid for Sept 25th. Apparently both camps reached a settlement before the deadline and sent contracts. Commey signed and submitted his contract but Mikey did not sign his. Now the IBF is calling for another Purse Bid this Oct 25th.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
A cynical fan of Mikey here. Hopefully, he wouldn't announce someone even worse than Commey.
I'm tired of Mikey's mouth, actually, but it's undeniable he's been one of the most active ones. At least he's fighting unlike Spence and the guy in my avi.
I found it interesting during one of Ellie Seckbachs recent videos following the the Canelo / DAZN announcement where Ellie asks Robert "Are we gonna see Mikey with DAZN soon" and him and his Son stopped him real quick like
"Nah we're not gonna talk about that.."

Either
1. He's gunna see who values him the most in a purse bid
2. Haymon's got him a better fight and hes dropping the belt
3. He's signed with Hearn and is dropping the belt
Mikey and Commey should allow it to go to purse bid - Let the bidding war begin and two fighters take benefits, without any further commitments to network or promoter.
Maybe he's signing with hearn.when they announced the canelo deal elli sechbach was at his gym and he looked really happy and told elli that he just finished talking to him
I think Commie said a couple days ago he’s signed his part of the contract , so I’m assuming this fight is a go
I don’t expect any real news for any of the PBC until they do a full roll out on Showtime /Fox releasing their winter /spring schedule
