Comments Thread For: Robson Conceicao hoping title glory will inspire Brazil to further success

What money people want Foster to be champ? Certainly not Bob Arum.

The robbery was just so blatant that they have no choice but to order the rematch, otherwise they would look bad with the public.

When have they ever cared about that? Foster has potential to be the next thing for them in around those weight classes. Conceicao is old and doesn't have further value since he'll likely lose whatever fight happens next. This isn't rocket science here (which is, ironically, also not all that big of a deal).

Foster was easily winning, but it was a very boring fight. He isn’t going to be the next big thing which is why Arum had no problem with the robbery (if he wasn’t the one behind the robbery in the first place.)

You're thinking way too big. 130 isn't that big of a weight class. Foster has (slightly) more value as champion than Conceicao. Think "who is a better bet for future sanctioning fees" level here.

And it wasn't that blatant of a robbery because Foster didn't do that much. I scored it for Foster, but there's way less coverage than Loma getting robbed by Haney, because people don't care that much (at all). And you think it's because there's some huge public outcry that forced the most corrupt alphabet organization to order a rematch? Don't know what drugs you're on, but they got to be good stuff.

It was a pretty bad robbery.

Top Rank benefits regardless because they get to put on the in-house rematch.

Indeed. And, as I said, they'd rather hang their hat on a young American kid than an old Brazilian who's already lost at the world level 3 times. They're using that prospect with the Ali name as a commentator now FFS.
