Lemieux cheated. Jacobs didn't cheat by skipping the 2nd day weigh-in

What a spin [/B]doctor.[/B]

Jacobs agreeded to fight for the IBF title which means he's required weighin on the 2nd day.

I really thought you would just come clean and say the thread was BS but you're really doubling down on this.

Never use the word doctor when describing this dude. Even if it you have spin in front of it. Hes to ****** be any kind of doctor.

'Voluntary agreement'

Nevermind. I honestly have no idea why I persisted with this. Some people just don't have the capacity to understand simple things

So the WBA calls purse bids for voluntary agreements now? Explain to this simpleton please

[Motorcity Cobra]

But the cheating principle is the same, GGG expected Jacobs to meet that second day IBF weigh in, and he didn't.

The same factors that applied to stevens vs lemieux apply here too, because stevens also had to make the weight regardless if lemieux did or didn't, if he wanted to be part of the eliminator.

If Lemieux told Stevens he wasn't going to weigh in the second day Stevens also had a choice not to weigh in the second day.

If Jacobs told GGG he wasn't weighing in the second day would GGG, the IBF champ, still have the weigh in?

[al-Xander]

Wow. Some people confuse mandatory to voluntary.

In any case why is cheating applied to this case when it's entirely on each fighter's volition whether to go for it or not? This TS is not making any sense. Lemieux chose not to, why is that cheating?

Is this another racial bias or something?

He's trying to say if a fight doesn't go to purse bids it's not a mandatory.

[techliam]

A voluntary agreement on the financials, the fight is still a WBA mandatory.

The context of the point I was referring to, was implying that WBA rules took precedence over everything.

This might have been the case had the WBA enforced the fight, but they didn't.

The voluntary agreement was to fight for Golovkins unified championship, as seen by the 3 sanctions. This fulfilled the WBAs requirement.

The fact Jacobs was the mandatory for the WBA has no bearing on the IBF weighin. It's not a difficult thing to understand

it becomes vacant

Thanks......

That's what he's trying to say? And he called me simple

The WBA has ordered Gennady Golovkin, its Super World middleweight champ, to next face Danny Jacobs, its World middleweight titlist, in a title match.

“The 30-day negotiations period has started,” says WBA President Gilberto Mendoza Jr. “They have 120 days to do the fight.”

Should negotiations between Teams Golovkin and Jacobs collapse, the fight will go to purse bid.

That doesn't matter, but in theory yes, GGG could've said "**** it, I ain't giving him no advantages" and given up his belt, but in reality I think neither GGG nor Stevens would've skipped the IBF morning weigh in regardless of what their opponents did.
