Comments Thread For: Fury's Coach Warns IBF of Trashing Belt if Stripped

[Teetotaler]

I don't disagree that it is preferable to keep the titles unified. That said. It is their rules, your or my view on right and wrong is irrelevant. Not like they went suprise, were ****ing you with a new rule. I could certainly get on board with them putting a rule in place accounting for rematch clauses, but I in no way support them just doing whatever the **** they please to accomodate the rematch. Not to mention your basicly telling the mandatory to sit with his thumb up his ass for a year because apparently fighting more than once every 6-7 months, when you take almost no damage, is hard work lol.

haha yeah your right.

Simple solution

Lou DiBella(Al Haymon) shows up to the purse bid, outbids both Duva (Glazkov) and Hennesey (Fury, though with eyes on the Klitschko rematch), forcing Duva to hold off instead of losing another chit to share on HBO.

Duva is basically down to one marketable fighter at the moment (Kovalev), with Sullivan Barrera and Glazkov as the only possible prospects.

Duva thinks that she's got some kind of leverage to work with, but she'll find out (when Hennesey/Warren and Haymon see the business to be had for everyone in the talks) that there really isn't all that much leverage, especially without the TV date already in hand.

Nothing cheap about it. It is their rules. Most of us **** on most of the sanctioning bodies because all they care about is the big money fight sanctioning fees, and rightfully so. Yet at the same time people want to whine about an organization that actually follows its own rules. If anyone should be getting hate, it is Duva, not the IBF. Rules exist to maintain order, not to be broken whenever we fell it is convenient. That is how you end up with seriously corrupt organizations like the WBC and WBA who do whatever the **** they want whenever it pleases them.

So you're fine with IBF causing the unified to be splintered off... for their (IBFs) gain? Sorry, don't agree. We need more unification, not less. Fury deserves it, as does the sport in general.

What does Team Fury care? That belt wont even fit around that big dumb goofy Turd's waist unless he suffers a methane deflation of grave proportions.

Mr Methane again, obsessed about flatulence. Geez bub, you're a tard stage now.

I'm pretty sure defending the title against a guy whos had it for years should make up for it. This isn't about pleasing the organizations its about common sense. The majority of the public rather see a rematch than glazkov-fury. Its only right

Yep.

The IBF always seemed like the least corrupt organization. But this is just a cheap move.

It's a turd-polishing contest.

[Cinci Champ]

and people wonder why fighters dont try to unify all titles

Mostly, ignorant ****s just pick and choose which ones they prefer, when it suits them.....

When an organisation makes a ruling that is favorable to " their guy " they reason it, and accept it..... but when that ruling is not favorable, that very same organisation suddenly becomes unreliable and corrupt.

Very few fans are consistent.

It is just a turd-polishing contest.

MOST of the problems within boxing today are caused by the 4 major sanctioning bodies.

That is very true. Rules are rules and it does suck that there's rules in this case. But IBF would be seen as greedy if they don't follow their rules. They will be seen as wanting the bigger fees from Fury vs Wlad. If the IBF breaks their rules they will have to go through a lot of trouble with a lot of other IBF titlists and their promoters. There will be consequences for it. I don't know how the WBC isn't in more legal issues than it is, because they are constantly all over the place.

[ShoulderRoll]

They should have given Tyson Fury a voluntary exception or at least allowed him time to negotiate, maybe he could pay a step aside fee to Glazkov. That way the titles don't have to get split up.

[Tom Cruise]

If these are their rules then they need to change them.

How can they demand purse bids for a mandatory a week after the title has changed hands?

The new holder is rematching the guy who has been your champion for years.

Use some common sense ffs.

Same if they areforcing Brook to fight Bizier (not 100% sure if they are). Brook had a voluntary fight signed and he got injured. You cant take the voluntary away for that and install a **** mandatory fight.

All these orgs need to stop being thick ****s and realise that their brand suffers when their belt isnt around the waist of the champ. No one is going to care about the winner of Glazcov vs MArtin or whoever it is.

Short term profiteering. In the long term there actions harm the sport they profit off and cheapen their belt to the point that fighters dont really give a **** if they have to drop it or not.

[Bob Weaver]

Can't believe they are doing this to the newly crowned champion. If Wladmir won they wouldn't have demanded that he fought in January. In fact Glazkov was due to fight Deontay for the WBC wasn't he? What happened there? Now the belts have changed hands the IBF want to demand something than untenable in order to pry one of his belts away from him. Wankers!
