So he will just continue to force opponents to come to Casino Rama every few months??

You know I love ya but .... he isnt forcing anyone to go North of the Border. Castillo didnt have to go up there, neither does Beltran. They could have said 'no' to the fight.

If they are paying the opponents what they want to get them up there ... best of luck to Molitor and Casino Rama.

Let them **** the place out time and time again ... thats more money when Mike Mike gets the call. LOL

Well, OF COURSE he is forcing them... they say NO then they don't get to fight for the title.

Its just a thing to me where the guy gets his hot over in England, wins a vacant title, and now apparently plans to hold on to it forcing guys to come to him up there because he draws, sell tickets etc etc. But its going to be tough, no matter what ANYONE says, to get a fair shake there.

Fighters have done this for a long time, you want the title you need to beat the champ on the champs terms. Look at Sven Ottke, the guy never fought outside of Germany. Not too sure why you are singling out Molitor here, he is part of a long list of many.

because my fighter is supposed to be his mandatory but there has been some funny funny business going on

** Well, it's a funny business that your in, obviously.

Molitor just doing his Roy impersonation of holding court. With 4-5 titles to fight for, it's not like there aren't other opportunities.

Thought it was a matter of purse bids in mandatory defences to determine which promoter has the rights to the fight...

If Molitor's promoter is winning the purse bids then he's got the say where the fight is being held.

Seems pretty straight forward to me, unless there is something else happening that hasn't been mentioned.

[ICEMAN JOHN SCULLY]

A LOT that hasnt been mentioned. The longer you are in this game the crazier stuff u see, put it like that
