So the IBF "recognises" the IBO but doesn't count it as a "unification". Why couldn't they simply "recognise" the Zuffa trinket?
A nonsensical and contradictory decision and reminder of why we need to get rid of the sanctioning bodies. Imagine stripping the #1 guy in the division - twice - simply because he wanted to be active.
They recognise IBO, but not their titles.
Bcs Zuffa is a promoter, not a sanctioning body (can't be both).
"The best promoter in the world" forgot he was promoting boxing? :lol1:
Btw, it's laughable seeing money-addict Hearn bitching about other people chasing money.
Hearn will be the first to squeeze tail between his legs. His Daddy did the same when it became too hot for him in boxing, and it was only Warren who pushed him out.
Btw, expect him to start crying again about the lack of loyalty in boxing.
Imagine if he became the undisputed, then he ditched all the titles and just said “I’m the Zuffa champ”. That would actually legitimise zuffa as a cruiserweight belt.
The original orgs became legitimate when enough legit guys held their belts. It’s still to be seen if they’re allowed to create their own belts though re: Ali laws.
And this is exactly Zuffa's plan.
DLH was using Vergil (v Boots fight) to secure an extension with DAZN, while Vergil is attempting to get out of the contract to join PBC (either as a free agent or under a new contract) and avoid Boots.
This lawsuit contradicts itself.
First, they claim DLH denied them Boots fight, then they claim DLH was forcing them to fight Boots?!
Smoke and mirrors by DLH & Vergil.
Sheffield’s Smith, 28, halted Matias in round six at the Barclays Center, Brooklyn, to set up any number of meaningful future fights as the newly-crowned WBC junior welterweight champion.
Don't be so naive.
Considering Smith is an MR fighter, WBC will do everything(!) to take that belt away from him asap.
WBC belts belong to PBC. That's the rule!
It's surprising they haven't ordered it yet - WBC doesn't want MR fighters to parade with their belts for too long.
Additionally, expect Puello to receive more than the usual 30% split that Smith received.
Rival promoters Eddie Hearn and Oscar De La Hoya have ridiculed Zuffa
Yet their fighters get füked up by the corrupt WBC and WBA the most.
Stockholm syndrome?
