Comments Thread For: Hearn: How Did WBC Order Whyte-Ortiz, Wilder-Breazeale Next?

[Ray*]

What part of what I said is opinion?

Everything you said.

[Ray*]

So Hearn thinks Whyte should be mandatory cos he beat Dale Allen and Lucas Browne. Riiiiight.

I agree with putting Whyte in there with a top guy like Ortiz, because you should actually have to beat a decent opponent to get #1 status (not that Breazeale has, mind you).

Obviously Wilder-Breazeale should be a voluntary though.

No Whyte doesn’t think he should be mandatory, he is thinking why is the number 2 guy getting a mandatory shot over the number 1 guy, that is a legit question that anyone in his shoes would ask.

And yes Wilder/Breazeale should be a voluntary fight and no one would have any right to whine or complain about the WBC, why call it a mandatory when Wilder just fought his mandatory in November.

I hope the WBC come out and deny it is a mandatory fight.

I don't think this was communicated to anyone expect Breazaele then, Acccording to Team whyte they had email correspondent where Sulaiman denied that the (Breazaele/Molina) fight was a "Final" eliminator....It was an eliminator but not a final eliminator, and even if it was upgraded to be then that should have been communicated to the guy who sat at their number 1 ranking.

If they truly had an email with a statement like that from Sulaimon, they would potentially have cause for legal action. Based on the response thus far, I doubt they have that sort of correspondence from him.

Similar to moves made by Don King in the past, Eddie could bring legal action against the WBC for injunctive relief. I'm skeptical.

I just provided the 'missing-link' in the miscommunication : there was not enough time to issue any negotiations for Whyte-Breazeale -- not that it really mattered given that the contract was already signed for the particular date ( Wilder vs. Stiverne II. ) leaving Eddie and Dillian Shyte out of the loop ; Well not really haha, as I already mentioned they approach Dominic and had the chance to fight for that very same position but did not come off dat bread -- feel me playa?

But Eddie Hearn is tha bestest promoter doe! Hearns is getting exposed all week.

You got any sources for Breazeale being guaranteed the eliminator shot in his contract?

Why did the WBC say it wasn't an eliminator then? mauricio sulaiman is on video saying that.

Am not skeptical at all, why? Because of the history of the WBC. Like they said they have no issue fighting Ortiz. And they still need the WBC in the future, so they are not going to sue them over a fight (Wilder/Breazeale) that can be declared a voluntary fight. They are basically calling the WBC out but I would wait and see what sulaiman says over the next few weeks.

[Vinnykin]

You are right, and to make matters worse, Dillian Shyte said Ortiz is old, to make matters worse Luis is coming off a loss by KO and they still lack confidence!

Whyte lacks so much confidence he has already fought Joshua and wants to fight Wilder (who just ko'd Ortiz). Whyte has been paying sanctioning fees and has been made false promises, an eliminator at this stage is not good enough, who knows when the WBC will mandate the winner of that fight? well over a year in all likelihood.... and we know Wilder won't accept a voluntary fight with him, no chance.

Lucky for Whyte he can fight for the IBF position and get that mandated at the end of the year, fight in the spring against Joshua.

[Laligalaliga]

How embarrassing that the head of Mismatchroom cant give his client Dillian Shyte a proper explanation as to why the World Boxing Council has decided to order a eliminator with Luis 'King-Kong' Ortiz.

And they call this guy the best promoter in the game?! pfft dont make me laugh! I know that there are a bunch of salty Brits that are going to come in here crying corruption and condemning the WBC, and I could shut the noise down right now, but wont.

Carry on taking L's you clowns are pathetic!

Mr. No it all, give me one good reason why a guy that was KOed barely 7wks ago should be drafted for an elimination match.
Corruption everywhere.... Doesn't mean Parker should be in for an eliminator for a title match after a loss? It doesn't add up.

Yeah am not going by opinions on here, especially one that is calling one side names lol, I thought we are all adults here discussing boxing. I have never heard or read anywhere where the WBC mandate Breazeale and Whyte as a final eliminator, or Team Whyte offering anything to Breazeale for a fight

[Chrismart]

When this happened last October, we all got a press release from the WBC that said Breazeale v Molina was a 'final eliminator'. I chased that up with them and was told this was a "mistake" and it was just an 'eliminator'. Now they're saying it wasn't. Gotta love boxing. pic.twitter.com/3Fpe7FPKQj

Of course they are corrupt, all of them are. When it suits the promoter you dont hear them complaining though. This is why i laugh when i see posters defending corrupt organisations even when you can see something isn't right there, but as long as it suits an agenda then most posters are ok with it.

So why give any credence to what Hearn is complaining about. It's not like he doesn't know how the organizations work. Hell, some fans seem to fall in line just like the promoters. When the promoter says something you agree with or suits their agenda, it's never questioned. When it doesn't, not a peep.
