Comments Thread For: Leo Santa Cruz-Leigh Wood Title Fight Remains On Hold, Pending WBA Purse Split Resolution

[famicommander]

Leo shouldn't even have any version of the WBA title at Feather weight considering the fact it goes against their own rules with Leo not fighting nor defending the title in over 3 years.

I however am not surprised by your biased slant considering who you're biased against. You just contradict and prove a hypocrite at every turn. But you do you and keep pushing a toxic and biased narrative.

Just because Leo should've been stripped doesn't mean Wood should be champion. Wood's belt is fake and he won it in a life and death fight with a nobody.

"The matter was expected to be resolved sometime in the second and third week of May, though that deadline has obviously passed as the matter now creeps into the first week of June."

I wonder what's taking them so long. It's a decent match-up and I hope it actually happens. Wood is on a roll with back-to-back upset victories and LSC hasn't made 126 in 3 years. Potentially another upset in the making.

This one should be interesting. How much damage did Cruz take from the Davis fight?
And for that matter, Wood himself. His 2 title fights were hardcore brawls. Should be all action, front to back.

Blah blah blah.

I'm not interested in the emotional whining of Brits that act like women. Simply compare LSC's ticket sales and PPV numbers to those of Wood and let the cold, hard numbers decide the split.

The whinging is coming from the likes of you. You know, the nutter who claimed AJ should give 50% to Wilder even though he earned 20 times what he did. Then you contradicted yourself like a hypocrite and changed stance for Crawford/Spence. Now you've changed again. Both times towards a British fighter.

You should search their fight purses on Google. Wood was paid over $800,000 for his last fight. Leo gets paid 1 Mill on average.

If you were to put 2 Mill up for the fight to be split (Which would be the biggest purse to be split in a Leo fight outside of the Davis fight) and gave Wood only 20% of that money, he'd be earning less than half of his last pay. Leo would earn his biggest payday. And you think that's sane?

I don't doubt for a second that scummy Haymon and the corrupt WBA are up to their tricks in trying to shut this fight down and not make it worth Woods time. I also don't doubt that you would sneer out of spite in him doing so. If the fight were to go through with Woods being paid bare minimum, you'd celebrate out of spite too.

Leo shouldn't even have any version of the WBA considering he hasn't fought for it nor defended it in over 3 years. The only way he can claim a piece of it is through sheer corruption between Haymon and the WBA. But i see you have no problem on this aspect either.

Just face it. You're a bitter scumbag with an agenda. I call you out for it every time and you can't deny it. You just come up with the usual pathetic nonsense.

Eddie wants Wood to get the split he should, but the WBA and Haymon are up to their usual tricks in trying to f3ck him over. Eddie wants a 50/50 split, even though Leo shouldn't have any version of the WBA title considering he hasn't fought for that title in over 3 years. It's pure corruption. Their fight purses are pretty close to each other in numbers. But they want Wood to earn less in a bigger fight than he was paid in others. It's irrational.

The regular champion was Xu Can who was dominated by Wood and stopped in order for him to claim the title. Wood then made a defence against the mandatory in Conlan. With Leo not defending for over 3 years, Can should have been given the full title.

It is much better to have knowledge on a situation before passing comment.

Again, Xu Can is a nobody and the Regular belt should never have existed is the first place. Conlan is not and was not a legitimate top 10 opponent either, the WBA rankings be damned.

Essentially Wood fans are crying that he didn't get a belt for free. Boo hoo.

Can is a decent fighter. Much better than nearly all of Leo's opponents.

I agree about regular titles and them not needing to exist. But if it didn't, Can would have fought for the vacant title after Leo was stripped of it for not defending in a timely fashion. It's been over 3 years. Do you think he should be allowed to keep it out of action when there are mandatories? Corruption between Haymon and the WBA are the only reasons to why Leo has any title at Featherweight.

Conlan is a decent fighter too. It was anticipated and lived up to the billing when Wood and Conlan went at it. Now Wood is trying to get a fight with Leo, and all he wants, is a fair split of the money. But as usual, the scumbag that is Haymon is trying to f3ck him over.

No one is crying. Wood wants to fight Leo next to sort this out.

50/50 is NOT a fair split of the money. LSC is the real world champion and has been a PPV attraction to boot.

Stop being a jackass Brit homer.

You're calling me a homer when you supported Wilder getting half even though AJ made 20 times more? Do you even have any self-awareness?

Leo isn't a real world champion though is he? He hasn't defended the title in over 3 years. He shouldn't have any version of it. What part of these facts aren't you understanding?

When was Leo a PPV attraction? As the A side? I must have missed this, but i'm happy for you to remind me of this supposedly happening.

Considering the facts here and other times, there's only one jackass between you and i. There is only one homer too. Point out specifically where i'm wrong or being unreasonable? You can't. It's nothing but strawmen and ad hominem fallacies.
