Comments Thread For: Pacquiao vs. Rios Winner To Receive Special WBO Belt

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The World Boxing Organization will make a special belt for the winner of what promises to be an all-out action fight between “Fighter of the Decade” Manny Pacquiao and exciting Brandon “Bam Bam” Rios at the Cotai Arena in the sprawling Venetian Resort Hotel on November 24.

WBO Asia Pacific vice president Leon Panoncillo announced that Pacquiao and Rios will fight for the WBO International welterweight title and “a special belt is being made for the winner” of what both Panoncillo and WBO president Francisco “Paco” Valcarcel said will be one of “the most spectacular events in the world. It will be huge.”

[HanzGruber]

i dont get why theyre making up belts, this should be a 10 rounder

This is ridiculous. They're just dying to give Pacquiao any kind of belt. "Champion of the Decade" belt vs Marquez now an "International Champion" belt. Really?

[prinzemanspopa]

Definitely something to tell the grandkids about, right thurrr.

More shenanigans

only in boxing would they make a 'special' belt for the winner of two fighters coming off losses...this sport is ****** sometimes

Well Champion of the Decade belt didnt go as planned so WBO will try again to make Pac a "champion". Another worthless trinket so Ron Nat can add to his intro

So did he lose his "champion of decade" belt to Marquez? It would be funny if he lost the International Belt to Rios... I doubt it though...

I thought this was already for the interim belt, which positions the winner for a shot at the winner of Bradley vs JMM?

WBO just wants its sanctioning fee.
