Jermell Charlo invokes his right as to fight Madrimov as WBA champion in recess

[Mammoth]

Madrimov gets a good fight next regardless it seems. Good for him.

Could be wrong but first instinct is it's a political move. PBC will offer a low purse, Madrimov will turn it down, so they go to purse bid, Hearn/Saudi will win the purse bid, but then Charlo pulls out. Wastes months of time and hurts the sport. But would be happy to be wrong.

That chump needs to just retire. Already scattered his belts to the wind. Should have kept them and fought Bud. He's just being petty.

.....Or maybe Jermell wants to fight for the most money possible, and wants to see what he's worth on the open market.

Wow the attack is real
First Spence and now Charlo
PBC trying to recoup I see

Smh… Al’s trying to freeze Crawford out again.

Seems like it, why else would he wait to do anything until the fight with Madirmov and Bud, he could easily just fight the winner but its a slight.

If PBC bids on the fight but loses the bid, they still get their 10% or whatever from Charlo's purse.

So if Saudi pays big bucks for a one-off, it's a worthwhile deal for everyone.

They also get to **** with Crawfords plans, which appears to be the goal.

[Mammoth]

Lol how do we know PBC is behind it? It's not like Jermell likes Bud.

[tomhawq]

Charlo wants a step aside fee, I would guess.
