Comments Thread For: WBC Orders Tournaments For Floyd Mayweather's Belts

I'm skeptical of this, WBC can't be ****** enough to believe they can run a tournament that includes PBC fighters and top rank.

And considering how close WBC is with Haymon, I don't trust this tournament to be anything more than a showcase for Haymon dudes, with Haymon dudes ending up with WBC titles.

I don't know of anyone making official offers at 164, but there's a guy taking fights at 172.

You mean that there are 'unofficial' offers being made at 164?


Why would a fighter make unofficial offers, unless, you know... they b*tch made?

... But where is Lara in this picture??? It can't be without Lara...

i second that, Lara is a must on this tourney and the one to beat.

So are we looking at a 4 or 8 man tourney? Looks like it's all Haymon, so it would be good for NBC.

At 154 - Jermell, Jackson, J-Rock, and Matirosyn would be great.
At 147 - Khan, Garcia, Porter, and Guerrero would be ok.

You forgot Thurman at 147

You forgot Thurman at 147

I wasn't considering other belt holders, but then I remember the WBC allows other belt holders to unify with their interim belt. So add Thurman & Brook, and Lara at 154.

This is a PBC tournament , look at what WBC just did #9 Guerrero is now in the top #4 , Juilian Williams who was in the top 4 out of the top 4 replace with Mundine

They going to set up some like

Khan vs Andre Berto winner vs Danny vs Guerrero winner

Jermell Charlo vs Anthony Mundine winner vs Jackson/Mundine

If the WBC cannot include both, imo they should exclude the lying greedy cvnt who refuses to work with other promoters.

Arum likes to recycle his in-house rubbish, let him continue to do so.

PBC + everyone else > Top Rank.

It haz nothing to do with that, if WBC is going to have a tournament, if they want to be considered a legitimate belt it should include everyone.

And please stop with the arum, lying, greedy ****, nonsense. Let's not forget al Haymon worked exclusively with Golden Boy Promotions for years, and stole all of there fighters right from under there nose.

I really like what the WBC have been doing recently (though Im sure theres examples of them being ****s too).

They seem to be the driving force behind the movement to 'unify' the titles, and this tourney is a good idea.

But like you say, a tournament should include the best fighters.

If it can't, why support the impediment ?

If Arum won't let his fighters participate, so be it.

Bradley admitted he likely won't get an opportunity to fight the best.....

Fair point, I'm just sick of Arum denying the fans so that he can profit.
