WBC Refuses To Sanction Barrera-Marquez

[PRboxingfan]

I think the WBC should enforce their mandatory. If Pac "doesn't want" the fight, the next available, highest ranked challenger gets the call. That's Humberto Soto but he happens to be a Top Rank fighter so it would certainly go to purse bid.

id rather see barrera vs pacquiao than vs marquez.

the wbc sux either way.

People already saw this would happen the moment shaeffer announced this match up.

THE World Boxing Council (WBC) will not let Marco Antonio Barrera put his super featherweight title on the line against Juan Manuel Marquez in a March pay-per-view, unless mandatory challenger Manny Pacquiao gives way. [details]

I'm so tired of these boxing commissions acting like *******s. God, they don't even care about the sport anymore, they just want to make fights and collect fees. And any fight that will give them the most is the one they want.

Realistically, Barrera needs to retire.....

I think he's got a couple of good fights left in him and Marquez is one of them. He stated that this might be his last year fighting.

Of course it's about money. The WBC got involved as soon as Morales was out of the way and ordered talks for a championship fight between Barrera and Pacquiao. They know where they can get the most money. Sonsofbitches.

Barrera should just vacate the belt if he wants to fight Marquez. If he wants to keep the belt, then fight his mandatory. easy. If he's keeping the belt and fights Marquez, then it's obvious he's avoiding Pacman and Soto.

You're right there. For God's sake, someone please give Humberto Soto a title fight. The fact that he has been avoidedlike plague for the last two years is a criminal offense to boxing.
