Damn right it does. They want to keep Roc Nation's hands off.

Hopefully it happens in December without any more delays.

Prediction: Wilder by KO.

They're just delaying the inevitable. Hov will be king soon

Should the winner face Wlad right away? Or defend against Jennings and if they win get Wlad. And if Jennings wins, take his mandatory then Wlad?

This brought a smile to my face.

Winner must face Jennings. WBC ordered back to back mandatories a while ago. America will have back to back chances to lift their first heavyweight belt since 2007. I doubt the last man standing will have to take another mandatory immediately.

The WBC belt holder has to do 2 straight mando defenses.... so whoever wins has to fight Jennings with no voluntary...unless Sulaiman changes it after someody wins
