WBO's relationship with Warren is awful for boxing. BJS fights journeyemn for belt...

Yeah, the two promoters who have historically controlled the WBO are now officially working together. Bob Arum and Frank Warren.Comment

I don't think he ducked it as such..
he was going to get 25% as a challenger. I reckon BT and Warren weren't happy about him fighting on another promoters card and network for 25% of a fight that isn't even big.
Now they can pick up a WBO title in another division while being the A-side and running their own card on their own network. I think most would've taken this route under the circumstances.
Let's be fair, he was WBO champ already, signed to fight GGG twice and it never happened. Couldn't get a fight with Canelo either. It's not like being Middleweight champ served him all that well in getting big fights anyway. Not that he wasn't to blame at times either.
He still said he will fight at MW for good fights but i can't see him taking 25% against a guy that doesn't draw money on a rival promoters card. You would only take that deal against someone like Canelo where 25% is good money.Comment

You are right. It's an outrage and a disgrace. Boxrec ranks the guy Saunders is fighting for the title as the 33rd best in the world which is where he belongs and not as the number 1 contender. Saunders is being given an almost risk free title shot against a guy he is almost certain to beat.Comment

I read the 1st 2 or 3 lines & I had it in mind I was going to ask "are you from the UK?" As I kept reading I realized I no longer need to ask that question.I don't think he ducked it as such..

Yeah that Saunders vs Isufi fight is a ****ing joke ..how can a guy who has beaten no one we know and who lost to Dariusz Szek get a freaking shot for the vacant world title ?Comment

Both moves the WBO pulled make the sport and their organization look like a joke with basically admitting we aren’t
Neutral and our organization is basically trash/ WBO not even trying to hide this blatant f.uckery and that it was done yesterday is proof how little they think of even trying to appear like they aren’t Just a Warren / Arum and if someone’s fighter until we can replace them with a Arum / Warren Fighter needs a strap organization.
I’m a fan of Saunders but to have a Andrade fight lined up and instead fight this no hoper is also f.aggot move on his part and the WBO basically setting up this fight and that strap should even be considered legit
Fury getting the 4 spot with Whyte probably going the WBC route and
Miller dropping once if / when he loses to AJ setting it up for a
Instant Mando shot against Tom Shwartz is also also pathetically predictable move to set up the easiest path part possible
I’ve already said it but with Warren and Arum now having Furys back I’m suprised the WBO didnt strip AJ and hand the belt over to Fury during yesterday’s press conference.Actually AJs a earner so theyd probably
Pull a WBA and just make him a 2nd Champ
In the Division.
Wonder why most people think the sports corrupt it’s because sh.it like this and the judging that doesn’t try’s to hide its biases often which often looks worse then this moveLast edited by R_Walken; 02-19-2019, 11:21 AM.Comment
