    If so, and if it's the same set up for this series, there will be a semi final of Burnett Vs Tete should they both win their first round fight.

    2 of the 140 fights are already made. So with Prograis being the number 1 seed he get to pick first...Martin or Flanagan. Taylor fights whoever is left from those two.
    I forgot that 2 of the fights had been made at 140, Flanagan and Martin look like the toughest unseeded fights IMO, Martin is huge for the weight and Flanagan has a bag of experience. I think Prograis will pick Flanagan since he's coming off a loss.....

    Both good fights regardless either way.

        I imagine they have to look at divisions with the least fighters tied down to networks, immediately rule out PBC, Top Rank, GBP fighters. Then pick the best divisions they can.

          There are only a few fighters with exclusive network deals and that's Canelo, GGG and Jacobs and maybe Kov.
          I guess the Top Rank stable with ESPN but that's just TR cards. I don't think the fighters have exclusive deals.

          Same with the PBC guys. Only Jacobs has that HBO deal. The others can fight anywhere.

            This is what I'm curious about, was the ******est part of season 1, see if they do it again or not

                  i have no problem with CW...my only thing how are the belts going to come into play? Does Usyk vacate them before his fight with Bellew? Does he or Bellew vacate them after either man wins? is Usyk vs Bellew going to be an actual WBSS fight?

                    good question...I read somewhere that Bellew wanted to fight for the belts. HW looks to be tied up in the AJ/Wilder/Fury business, so the prudent move might be for these smaller guys to get the CW money while its hot

                      I saw someone on Twitter today mention Dorticos and Masternak as possible names involved.
