Why are people calling for Pacquiao.. a 147 champion... to fight..

[IronDanHamza]

Nope, that was just rumours. With Thurman's return imminent, it would be ****** to wait all this time and strip him just before he returns. I can't see Al letting something like that happen.

I don't count regular as a champion when there's a super champion. It's all a bit ****ed

Makes sense.

That's good to know.

Is there any confirmation of this? All I've seen is rumours.

With how often the WBA website is updated (they still have Thurman as champ, and are giving a leadup to the Pacquao weigh in) no, I don't have a confirmation lol.

Though Ring has Thurman holding no titles, so WBA would have stripped him.

Ah I see, I'm gonna have to look into it properly, but if that's the case, it's a shame but I can't complain because Keith has been out for too long, so despite their corruption I wouldn't have a problem with the WBA downgrading Keith, I'm just surprised if that's the case.

We gonna have a lot of rebuilding to do! Team Thurman all day

That WBA "Super" belt they fought for was one of those silly special belts like the ones the WBC comes up with for Canelo

The Ring write-up described Pacquiao as 'picking up a secondary welterweight title' and Boxrec has the fight down as a fight for the regular title. So as of yet, I think it still rumours.

Yeah that sounds about right. Thurman better have something lined up for September otherwise they will downgrade him for sure.

For the same reason people were calling for Manny to fight
GGG, Canelo, Martinez, and so on, all through the years:
weight-class matters less to the market, than name recognition.

ppl were calling for those fights because Manny was a 154lbs belt holder.

Pacman vs Thurman baby, lets make it happen. Pacman has an opportunity to beat the #1 welter and go out on top, Thurman has an opportunity to hit new levels of stardom and beat and ATG. That's my all time fav vs my current fav.

I just saw it as the WBA pulling a BS stunt to throw a Super title on Pac. The timing was su****ious AF.

One Time needs to get active again. People are starting to hate on him. Needs to come back and show that he still is a top dog at 147
