He got asked if Showtime would air the tournament for either division & he said he'd have to see the full participants before he could commit to it, but he likes what he's seen so far. So we should probably now on or before this July 8 show who'll be showing it.
Originally posted by TheCell8 View PostHave they already determined the 16 fighters? I think CW is missing like a couple and so is SMW.
The CW tournament is gonna be good already, but if they get Usyk & Glow it might be the most high level tournament ever between top guys.

Originally posted by Eff Pandas View PostIdk why the WBSS worded it like that "top 4 pick their first round opponent", but only the top 3 are really picking their opponent cuz after the first 3 guys pick opponents there are only 2 guys left so its not much of a choice for that 4th guy.

Here's the tweet about Usyk. Coppinger is a legit guy.
Tom Loeffler says it's looking likely Usyk will be in World Boxing Super Series. Excellent news

This tournament is shaping up to be a real spectacle. The purses are going to be the biggest they've ever had (barring Groves, maybe), a few of us are going to be surprised.

Great if Usyk is involved. What a tournament that would be.
It was surprising when 168 was picked as one of the divisions, more surprising that they might have done it without having many of the top names involved. I guess ideally would be something like Dirrell-Smith, Eubank Jr, DeGale, Groves, Benavidez. Then other interesting possibilities would be Yildirim maybe, Uzcat, Quillin? I'm guessing Arum wouldn't let Ramirez or Hart enter but maybe he's more open to the idea than he would've been before the issues with HBO.
