And of course you won’t….it involves Al Haymon

So are you telling me there actually is a lot of people super excited for the dream match of Tszyu vs friggin Thurman? Better yet, are you actually happy about this matchup???

I didn't bother reading the whole thread, but I think the tons of comments is more negative than positive.

I mean, while skimming I didn't see a whole lot of "OMG I can't wait for this match awesome PBC!" comments but a lot of "what a crap matchup" in here.

It’s not a bad fight and Rolly vs Pitbull is a decent co-main. Heck, even Zerafa vs Lara as a throwaway filler bout is alright.

The problem is no one was asking for these fights.

If it was "free" (for those with Amazon Prime membership) then it is good enough to make boxing fans who were mulling on getting Prime to consider getting it if they can get this caliber card every so often.

Individual PPV...yeah, seriously...who wanted this???

(d) The WBO may vacate the title of any Champion who conducts a contest in the
Champion’s Weight Division which is not a defense of the title.

Good work, dan-b!

And at this point "long time" Keith is the granny who takes her teeth out first.

Dont knock it till you try it. Just keep your eyes closed.

Eddie love the attention, Haymon we have never even heard him utter a word….two figures who couldn’t be more diametrically polar opposite

I never mentioned Haymon
But he does have his puppets ; Ellerbe for one , Floyd or even Rolly speaks on behalf of PBC
Tank is another which has protected the PBC on tweets and in interviews
Just cause Haymon doesn’t come out guns blazing it don’t mean he doesn’t have his minions do it

If you can stomach it, let me know what you find out.

I've highlighted the relevant part below.

SECTION 15. NONCHAMPIONSHIP FIGHTS or NON-WBO
CHAMPIONSHIP FIGHTS
(a) A WBO champions shall not participate in a non-championship fight that is not a
WBO Championship without the prior authorization of the WBO World Championship
Committee. This authorization shall be subject to such conditions as the WBO World
Championship Committee determines. In addition, this authorization will be granted only
on the condition that the WBO Champion pay a fee to the WBO that is the equivalent of
the amount that he WBO Champion would have paid to the WBO if the non-championship
fight were conducted as a WBO Championship fight.
(b) If a WBO Champion participates in a non-WBO Championship or Non-title fight as
the case may be, the WBO World Championship Committee may order the WBO
Champion fulfillment of his Mandatory title defense immediately thereafter in spite of the
WBO Champion being within his voluntary title defense period.
(c) A WBO Champion who wins a non-WBO Championship in weight class that is
different than the weight class in which he holds his WBO Championship must
decide within ten (10) days of the non-WBO Championship which title in which
weight class he will retain. No WBO Champion may hold a non-WBO
Championship in a weight class that is different from the weight class of his WBO
Championship.
(d) The WBO may vacate the title of any Champion who conducts a contest in the
Champion’s Weight Division which is not a defense of the title.

Unfortunately, this is a meaningless fight that nobody wanted and it's honestly not worth paying for...... but sure, lots of comments.
