    Rematch Clauses

    Do you all think that these are good or bad in championship fights?

    If good, why?

    If bad, why?

    I certainly have no problem with them; if they are in the contract they are in the contract. The Wlad v. Haye thing was going a bit far, but Haye didn't have to sign.

    It can work both ways. Sometimes you end up with a fairly pointless rematch, when it's patently obvious the new champion is better than the old one (think Dawson Tarver 2), and sometimes they force a rematch that everybody thinks should happen - except the new champion and his 'people'. Best example I can think of that of the top of my head is Lewis v. Rahman 2. Despite a perfectly clear rematch clause the Rahman camp still did everything they could to try and weasel out of it the reason being, of course, they knew exactly what was going to happen.
