Unifications do not, in practice, ***** mandatories. Even just over the past few years we've seen mandatory obligations scupper possible unification bouts, especially if they're cross promotional. The boxing organizations don't particularly like giving up their sanctioning fees, especially WBC/WBA who love having as many "champions" pay them as possible. Loma has always been clear that his goal is undisputed. Teo had a belt at the time. Haney did not. And Loma also has specifically denied that he filed for franchise. We only have that line from Sulaiman, who isn't trustworthy by any stretch. Far more likely that he was offered it by Sulaiman and told "this means that you won't have to worry about a mandatory obligation interfering with unification" while WBC got the opportunity to have two "champions" paying them sanctioning fees.

You do know loma fought a bigger guy, world champion, huge puncher, much more established than Devin Haney ever was at that point.
So loma “ducked” a defence minded pillow fisted lightweight to fight teofimo Lopez. A natural 140Iber.
If you still don’t grasp this, then stop watching boxing kid. Go back to figure skating or whatever it is you gen z kids do.
Lomachenko wasn't at the wbc and the belt was vacant. The top two contenders were Campbell and Haney.
Bob pulled strings to get Loma to fight Campbell for the wbc.
That was supposed to be Haney's shot, not Loma's.
And then after they cheated Haney of his shot, they refused to defend against him and requested the franchise aka duck your mandatories belt.
Why wouldn't Haney fans or even neutral fans be pissed about that.
Especially when Haney was given the derogatory email champ belt after being cheated and ducked right afterwards?greeneye99 mgame like this.

Loma wouldn't get the same praise if he looked like Haney.

He asked to be emeritus/ franchise and gave up the belt to avoid losing to Haney because doing so meant no Teo payday.
It’s what a lot of boxers do. Loma is no different.TDLand likes this.
