Does Jermall Charlo have to fight another eliminator if GGG passes on the fight?

[GhostofDempsey]

Arum has been doing that for years

Mosley had to leave GBP to get Pac, Marquez had to sign with Top Rank

etc, etc

Haymon does, AND he poses as both manager and promoter, another Ali Act violation.

[GhostofDempsey]

I don't believe that for one second

Golovkin should do the right thing, and fight Charlo

but we know he won't

Japan is a different market. They can pack over 50K+ fans in seats and someone will pay him what he wants to fight there. Charlo just needs to come to terms that he is B-side against GGG, Canelo and even Jacobs.

[Diego Rodriguez]

No, if GGG declines than he gets the spot (that was already his to begin with.)

I think that is how it should be but not sure if that is the case. I also don't believe a word that comes from WBC or any boxing organization.

True noone is enforcing it but when was the last time you heard a promoter say you must sign hered to get a fight with the champion? They might infer it behind closed doors but I've never heard one come right out and say it like Eddie did.

I'm not defending him. It's as you say right out in the open.

[boliodogs]

He doesn't have to do anything. Canelo is the giant A side now. It's all up to Canelo. If Canelo wants to fight Jermall he will fight him. If he doesn't want to EVER fight Jermall then he won't and he will still be the WBC middleweight champion and that's just the way I think it is right or wrong.

There is another section concerning changes in ratings that might be of interest to Charlo. Basically a sanctioning body has within 7 days provide reasons if the the rating status of a boxer has changed.

Charlo's status has not changed

it looks like Golovkin will refuse to fight him

[GGG Gloveking]

So, has your hero nuts dropped yet, or will he vacate the WBC, yet again, to avoid a mandatory?

has Bullshltkin signed to fight Charlo yet..... ?

or will he duck Charlo, like he ducked everyone else who was a threat?

wait, I guess it's ok.....

because Golovkin has no titles to strip this time

[CrowsNestWest]

Charlo should have a direct shot at Canelo after waiting and destroying all opposition. The announcement of a eliminator between Charlo and Golovkin proves that Mauricio Sulaiman and the WBC has some influence in the questionable GGG Canelo judging and also their overall corruption as an organization. The eileder alvarez situation is another clear example of Sulaiman's bias towards fighter (which we all have ) and how it effects the title situation as a whole.
