Comments Thread For: Arum is Firm: Murata To Face Quigley, Won't Bow To WBA Order

[landotter]

Wonder how much better boxing would be if there were no titles, and boxers just managed their careers solely based on best opponent/payday alone without all this politics. Oh wait, it really would not look much different, would it?

I like Murata way better than these other two as far as interesting 160 fighters. I see not a bunch of difference between Brant and Quigley except Quigley has a better name right now. I get the decision, I just don't see that much of an advantage one over the other.

Just get rid of the "Regular" and "Interim" titles! WBA is the worst!

Arum doesn't like it when the networks try to play matchmaker or when the sanctioning bodies demand certain mandatory fights.

He prefers to feed fans his in-house fights whenever possible.

He should just buy the WBO and let his fighters only fight for those titles. He also prevented Ramirez from fighting Prograis.

It was part of an agreement between all parties that Murata could skip Brant in the ratings if Brant would get a 50/50 split in the first defense.

Yeah this here is why it's kind of a BS move by Murata's side. They had all agreed to this 50/50 thing originally.
