Comments Thread For: Hearn Explains Why WBC Was Wrong To Order Loma-Campbell

[CaptainWalrus]

DAZN, Showtime & ESPN bosses need to have a threesome. More fights will happen.

How was it different to the fighters in the ratings? Every single thing Hearn is complaining about happened to the fighters skipped over when Joshua was allowed to fight for the WBA title.

I just explained why the situations are slightly different. Hearn didn’t actively partition for that fight to be for the belt that was down to klitchko. That’s what it took to make the biggest fight of that year and I’m not mad at that. It also didn’t involve the wba breaking their own rule about having to make two mandatory defences after winning a vacant title.

Sour looser Hearn.

Hearn is right, what the WBC did, especially ordering the 4 man tourney was wrong! However, Hearn was going to skip Abduallev too, and make Haney vs. Campbell! That was equally wrong! It's just a matter of Arum having more juice than Hearn!

[Ajvar]

Because it was different and you know it. That wasn’t about the title it was about fighting klitchko. Klitchko wouldn’t take the fight unless the wba belt was on the line that’s why it took longer to be announced. Aj would’ve fought klitchko with or without the vacant belt on the line.

It was AJ who disagreed to fight Klit unless there is a vacant belt for it. Stop twisting reality. At best they both set same ultimatum.

So there are sanctioning body politics.

There are promotion company politics.

There are network politics.

Sometimes I wonder how any boxing ever actually happens. I really do. I have grown to not care at all if someone gets mad over someone getting skipped or if some belts get fought over some ****** rule enforced once and never again. I only care if the fights are interesting. The only thing interesting about Lomachenko/Campbell is the "how" Lomachenko wins. Campbell is certainly not a scrub and he is a live underdog, but he is not an "A" level fighter either. This is a simply mildly interesting fight and nothing more. I would not have cared at all about Campbell against any of those other names until fight night, then I would watch if nothing better was on. Throw Lomachenko into it, and I at least pay attention.

What has Lomachenko done to deserve a WBC shot? He’s just won a couple of other [world titles] and just strolled straight in.

you're useless Eddie!

[Nightfall]

I don’t like Hearnia but I see his point. Why isn’t loma in the 4 fighter tournament to earn the dam WBC title?

[ruedboy]

The WBC is wrong to exist!

If Charlo continues receiving step aside fees and the WBC acknowledge it they don’t prioritize on the mando, especially when Team Canelo are after unifications

WBC will elevate Canelo to "Franchise Champion" according to Suliman whatever the hell that is. Also said they're working on finding a big fight for Charlo which tells me he is NEVER getting a shot at Canelo and no signing with DAZN is not going to solve anything for Charlo
