Comments Thread For: Ryan Garcia-Rolly Romero now for WBA ?regular? title, Jaron Ennis upgraded

Of course they want to get their hands \n the pot. They know Ryan is a star and him owning a belt, they can start collecting those fees on him. I'm not sure how it works, but I assume the more your purse, the more they get to pocket for your ownership of their belt?

WBA being scum as usual. Easy, and big money for Ennis though, if he can still make the weight. I thought the winner was supposed to fight the winner of Haney v Ramirez though? So maybe that will buy him time to get another unification in. Pretty clearly it's got to be Giyasov next, and I personally think that's fine. He's a ranked contender, along with having waited for his shot. If he doesn't want it, he can "get injured" and leave Ennis free to unify.

The WBA (World Boxing Association) charges sanctioning fees to promoters who want to include their fights in WBA sanctioned events. These fees are a percentage of the total purse for the boxers involved, and are designed to help cover the association's operating costs

Besides sanctioning fees, the WBA may also collect fees for things like championship belts, special permits, and other services.

Garcia has to get through Rolly and Haney again. The WBA is doing this, so that the winner (likely Garcia) will be able to call himself "champion" without having to face Ennis....and the WBA has mandated Ennis to face Giyasov. GBP is anticipating that Ennis will not be at 147 much longer, and that Garcia will be elevated to full champion once Ennis leaves. Garcia/Ennis is a mirage. Ennis will probably face Giyasov as a favor to Matchroom, then try to face Norman or move up. It's possible we'll get Garcia/Haney 2 for the WBA 147lb title.

If Ennis stays in the division, beats Giyasov, Garcia beats Rolly and becomes WBA World Champion, what will be the WBA's excuse when Garcia does not enter negotiations with Ennis but rather schedule a fight with Haney? Will they strip him as it seems like they are enforcing for Ennis? WBA is such a ****show...

This is a scandal. The WBA's 'resolutions' are not worth the paper they're written on. What will happen is that the 'regular' belt will exist until Ennis vacates, the consolidation will never be ordered.

After Giyasov, I think Team Ennis will request WBA's permission to allow a unification. That will provide some cover for the Garcia/Romero winner to face the Haney/Ramirez winner.

It's a nonsensical match-up and we shouldn't pretend that it isn't. Pac shouldn't even be an option for any current titlist. Pac should be a gatekeeper/stepping stone for young contenders and hot prospects. PBC is up to their usual thinking they can sell us this bullshxt.

True but Barrios on the otherhand? If I were him I'd be all over it, the game is about cashing fat checks worrying about legacy is for marks.

PBC is assuming that Pacquiao still has significant marquee value. We know this is going to be an $80 PPV.

Never underestimate casuals, Tyson V. Jake Paul did 500K buys with alot of people online expecting 1990s Tyson to show up and destroy Paul.

I can't believe anyone here really cares, if so, why? WBA "regular" title? Other than making the fight sound important to casual fans, nobody is going to be confusing the WBA regular title with anything legit. So what?
If nothing else it justifies the fight being 12 rounds instead of 10.
