Top Rank has 7 world champs. All 7 are with the WBO.

But only Crawford and Loma get TV time...

Manny needs to fight somebody with a pulse then.

Is that just an incredible coincidence? Or is there something more going on behind the scenes?

And if it's the latter...why has no boxing journalist done more digging into the story, I wonder?

Gilberto Ramirez, WBO 168 lb champion
Manny Pacquiao, WBO 147 lb champion
Terence Crawford, WBO 140 lb champion (also has WBA)
Vasyl Lomachenko, WBO 130 lb champion
Oscar Valdez, WBO 126 lb. champion
Jessie Magdaleno, WBO 122 lb. champion
Zou Shiming, WBO 112 lb champion

Arum has tremendous influence with the WBO. No reason Crawford/Manny can't get made.

How is this any different than gb and pbc and their close ties to the wbc?

All the orgs have their problems. Don't even get me started on all the Mexicans that the WBC grants title shots to.

But for just this one thread can we focus on the WBO? Is that too much to ask?

[IMDAZED]

Yes, they all have issues but OP is alluding to a sanctioning org beholden to one or two promoters.
