Comments Thread For: WBA Prez: Manny Pacquiao Has "High Probability" To Be Reinstated As Welterweight Champ

Always remember Guillermo Rigondeaux was Stripped of his WBA strap because his Mando outright refused to fight him.

I'm all in. So make it happen. However, it doesn't make it right though because Pac did sit on that belt and held it hostage for more than two years without defending it. Yordenis Ugas deserves to be the rightful WBA welterweight Super champion because he's been active.

Read up about the WBC when they did the same to Roy Jones. He vacated then had a change of heart so after the WBC strip the champion to give belt back to RJJ. The guy who was stripped sued the WBC & won. He was awarded like 32 million & the WBC almost went bankrupt. Can’t recall all the details exactly but it was pretty shady. The WBC executives were long time Don King puppets. Read up about some of the stuff they did for King…

I read about that too the other day. Sure honestly don't really care if the belt is on the line, Pac Spence is a good. WBA want some of that money.

Rocchigiani won the lawsuit

That’s what happened the only reason why the WBC is still in business is because the guy was talked out of asking for the money. Trout is trying to do the same to the WBO. I doubt Ugas would do that . They will give him some money and he will probably get Spence next.

He settled out of court. The WBC wanted to file for bankruptcy, and he figured it was better a bird in hand that two in the bush. He got around 5 or 6 millions and the "belt".

They stripped him for even considering a non-PBC opponent but now he gets reinstated. Can we just call it the Haymon belt? They don't even hide it, almost every division has at least one PBC interim WBA champ

World domination!!!!

WBA guy always playing musical title belts.

Question for all the belt dorks. If this happens & Errol beats Manny for this belt & then Errol & Bud magically come to terms on a fight would that fight be for the undisputed position or would Ugas be the Devin Haney of 147? Or is Jamal James the Haney of 147?

[Get em up]

WBA will reinstate Pac and Ugas will have it in writing to get a shot at the winner so everybody is happy

Yeah it’s disgusting. So they would take the belt away from Ugas and give it back to Pac. And people want us to agree with the politics of the WBA and WBC. I mean these two are the oldest but the most disgusting of the four belts.

Rocchigiani fought for belt. Ugas didn't.

Don't worry guys. Am pretty sure Mr. Haymon already made Ugas sign a contract for him to shut up cos Spence will lay the beatdown on him next.
