Comments Thread For: Briggs-Oquendo: Promoters Complain Over 1 Million Minimum

Things could get interesting if they get to rule 17.

17. Multiple Failed Bids. In the case of a vacant title, if there are two failed purse bids, the affected boxers may lose the privilege that their position in the rankings gave them to compete for the title. The Chairman may summon immediately a third Purse Bid for the two boxers who were to participate in the deserted Purse Bids and also two other rated boxers, named by the Committee. Bids may be made for a title fight between any two of the four boxers, and the boxers named in the highest responsive bid shall fight for the title.

Haye is ranked #6 by the WBA right now. Maybe we can get Haye vs Briggs after all. Cuz f#ck Oquendo.

getting to the third bid is very very rare, but always fascinating. you end up with several promoters with extreme interest and since they get to pick the opponent, you could end up with ryabinskiy choosing oquendo to try to get the belt on to charr.

Maaaaate, this fight wouldn't sell out the local rec center if you asked for a buck fifty door charge.

Briggs & Oquendo better go to Australia. Green & Mundine got 3 million US dollars each for their latest scam fight.
