Damn, Devin Haney just got ****ed over big time.

[James Hunt]

Wow! WBC is even more corrupt than I thought.

Loma vs Campbell then Loma vs Commey-Lopez winner. He'll be unified champion by the end of the year.

Haney stuck in eliminators going nowhere. I bet him and Hearn are mad as hell.....

In a very controversial move, the WBC board of governors has accepted Vasiliy Lomachenko petition to fight for the vacant WBC lightweight title. A fight between mandatory challenger, Luke Campbell, and Lomachenko, has now been officially ordered for the vacant WBC belt.

So Hearn can if he wants to play the obvious chess move ....

Assuming the purse bid is 50:50 which it should be .. go to purse bid win it .. Lomanchenko would have to go to DAZN .. Arum will probably pull the fight ... Campbell goes against Dalaney and they agree 50:50 on ESPN with Loma for the next fight.

This nearly happened with Crolla vs Loma but Hearn backed off as the purse bid was not a straight split and Arum threatened a war on other fights eg Joshua vs Pulev but he also moaned he had to greatly overpay on Crolla.

Given Hearn can't lose all his fighters to ESPN just to be nice ie Hearn sends all his over, Bob sends nothing back this may well happen or at the very least Bob will have to greatly overpay Campbell and put it on Sky Sports rather than BT,

By the way, this is not without precedence. The WBA let Anthony Joshua fight for their vacant title when he was already the IBF champion and out of the WBA rankings

That doesn't mean it's fair or not a sign of corruption.

Lopez vs Fortuna isn't happening though. Teofimo isn't going to fight back to back title eliminators for different sanctioning bodies, let alone 3. Haney is a legitimate prospect but he isn't beating Lomachenko.

Lool if the wbc made this decision based on that then they’re crooked

Don't cross Mauricio Sulaimán, even Canelo had to kiss the Don's ring after Alvarez vacated the WBC middleweight crown. Know your role Eddie Hearn AND SHUT YOUR MOUTH!

Campbell has no chance to beat Loma. The fight should be between Campbell and Abdullaev, #'s 1 and 2 for the title. If not that then a tourney with the top 4 contenders with the winner fighting Loma.

The WBC have also ordered a "tournament" to determine the mandatory challenger:
– Zaur Abdullaev vs Devin Haney
– Teofimo Lopez vs Javier Fortuna

Winners meet in a final eliminator.

Another sh.it fight to Loma

Campbell is sh..it

He Lost against Linares and another guy

Loma needs better rivals
