Comments Thread For: Pacquiao, Marquez To Battle For a Special WBO Title

[LeG00N]

It's just like a trophy except the trophy is in the shape of belt becase it's boxing. The belt wont be on the line or anything for the next fight so whats the big ****ing deal. They are trying to raise the stakes for this fight.

pretty much..... other bodies have similar belts that are really just throphies for super fights

the WBC's is the nicest it has real dimonds

Oh ok so the belt is simply an honor and is not an official "title"

Cool beans

do they have to pay a sanctioning fee?

wtf is all the crying for. Like all other belts are NOT bullshlt!!!! Who cares. The winner of this fight deserves all any ways. Fighter of the past decade is fighting anyways.

What I take from this is that the WBO and other parties who are invested heavily in this is afraid that the general public is turned off by a 4th fight between the two, and that they needed something to '****e' the fight up. They know that they marketed the 3rd fight too well; the 3rd fight was supposed to be the definitive ending to the trilogy, and a 4th fight feels like their beating a dead horse.

Comparing this to Star Wars, the 3rd fight was the Return of the Jedi that wrapped things up; this 4th fight is The Phantom Menace that rears it's head and demands attention and your(our) moneys.

shut up guys!



pointless belt tho. eh whatever, i don't mind the idea of a trophy belt for these two as long as it can't be defended (and lol thinking about Bradley in this whole situation). you don't defend trophies, you win them and then start anew, like a sports season or something. so if this turns into an actual belt, then the idea is more of a joke.

Wow. Gotta market your alphabet soup somehow.
