Comments Thread For: Top Rank Wins Valdez-Stevenson Purse Bid; Valdez To Vacate Title

[Alan Smithee]

He maintains control of contest in in case he has to offer fight to #2 ranked guy who is promoted by golden boy was a smart move on top rank part

What do you mean by controlling the contest? If Valdez vacated and Stevenson was the mandatory then he would fight the next ranked guy for the title. Am I missing something? Maybe a purse bid line's someone's pockets as a previous poster stated.

Purse bid is done and locked in now so whoever agrees to fight already know how much they getting, network it will be on, and date basically... top rank has 3 of top 4 ranked wbo opponents that’s next up but the #2 guy is promoted by golden boy so if he agree to fight just going be a top rank promotion and dazn can’t bid

Berchelt vs. Valdez is a WAY better fight. Plus, Shakur is not ready for Valdez. TR would have derailed his career if they let him into a war with Oscar.

Why doesn’t Shakur mention Joet Gonzalez he wants a puff up Jr Feather Carl Frampton what a chump

By doing it this way he maintains control over who gets the title fight and creates the illusion that this was a fair process When many of us thought this is exactly what would happen.

It is damaging to the integrity of the sport the power promoters have with individual sanctioning bodies. The WBO is a complete joke for allowing this.

Gotcha, thanks.
