[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Earlier today, February 13th, 2017, the purse bid for the fight between Shannon Briggs and Fres Oquendo for the world heavyweight title of the World Boxing Association was held. However, the requirements established in the WBA regulation were not met and it was not valid.

they came nowhere near making the minimum bid lol

Here is an idea, either do this fight or the Joshua Klits one for the title, not both, thus clearing up the WBA title situation in one go. Unfortunately the WBA are money grabbing ****s and would like to continue this farce for the sake of sactioning fee's

Couldn't even reach HALF of the minimum bid, wow.

The WBA created a mess that keeps on giving.

How sad that no one even wants their belt.

Briggs can't catch a break it seems. #letsgochamp

If your minimum bid for a HW title is a million then don't mandate fighters of the calibre of Briggs and Oquendo to fight for the title - the fight is clearly not worth a million in today's boxing climate. Better still don't have such a straight jacket rule.

Jeez - a smart 12 year old could see what is going wrong here.

This is pathetic, so it's delayed for a week and the possibility and likelihood is the purses will be even less than 400k. Why the WBA didnt just ratify the 400k bid or have the second purse bid immediately afterwards is absurd. This farce of keeping Oquendo around has gone on long enough.
