Al haymon to revoke recognition of the wbo

[j.razor]

Idk if it'll accomplish anything but the WBO have been controlled by Arum and Warren for years.

The president of the WBO even testified against Haymon in court a few years ago.

And that didn't help them either....they keep taking L's when they mess with Al, T.B.E. & PBC

And the circus continues, just a way to monopolize further.

But YOU would be happy if it was bob or hearn monopolizing though

From my understanding this is being done because for some odd reason (Arum and Warren) there are very few PBC fighters in the WBO rankings.

Not that I care about networks or sanctioning bodies really. The IBF seem like the only respectable one lately....

I had no idea that they recognized the IBO over there. I don’t recall it ever being mentioned over here except as a joke (Eubank Jr showing off with it)

Used to be a big thing back in the 90's too. Floyd had it, Hamed had it, etc. etc. IBO dropped relevancy when the networks stopped featuring them, same as the WBF.

Which is why I'm saying, Crawford had better smarten up, sign on that line and give your life to Floyd and Al Haymon, because if Haymon convinces the A-side networks to stop featuring it like they did during this past week, WBO is going the way of IBO, guaranteed.

Gary Shaw was pushing the IBO hard on Showtime for a while, but once Showtime got Haymon, they had access to plenty of recognized belts and their flirtation with the IBO was over.

In the UK, the WBU and IBO were briefly gaining recognition at different points, until Sky began refusing to buy anything other than the big four.

Very weak on the part of the PBC/Haymon group. The fact of the matter is that Crawford IS UNIVERSALLY ranked #1 or #2 P4P in the world. He aint going NOWHERE and true boxing analysts, sports networks etc., will show that from now until he either retires or loses.

Nobody is monopolizing but Haymon and keeping guys from losing to keep him afloat. If you check the actual records Haymons guys take L's a lot to competing promotions. Lucky he has kept Wilder off the radar so long and now has very winnable fights but keep in mind he lost to Fury and was lucky it was in the U.S.

You guys are the fan boys that fight which network is better,i'll pass and enjoy much better Dazn product which is far easier and fan friendly with fighters I do like better on it,and then ESPN plus that also shows some Warren fighters. .

PBC is a closeted WBC program we all know that. He doesn't expand his fighters much and wants to run WBC so not sure what people want ? Ha

Needs to back to one belt only SCREW ANY PROMOTER trying to call shots on any of the titles . TopRank PBC all of them.

Sure. Must be why they've only given a Golden Boy fighter a franchise belt.
