This is the Fyre Festival of Boxing!

Nonito was going thru the same thing because they didnt schedule his fight with inoue. Thats a shame I really wanted to see taylor vs prograis, now it might get pushed back to next year.

Despite all the red flags, all the armchair experts in this forum gave a lot of crap to Jose Ramirez who is in a much better position by staying active and making significantly more money outside of the tournament.

No one ever thought it would be Ramirez holding the big bag of money at this point. Him and his family are set now. Between them all big money fights will happen regardless of the WBSS. 140 is a hot division

It looks like a long term, no exit, contract and Rougarou might be out of the ring until it gets sorted out. Years maybe. He messed up.

What happens if he pulls out? Do they bring back someone like Kiryl Relikh for the final?

Subriel Matias was name alternate after winning on the Prograis-Flanagan card.

Haven’t heard his name mentioned in association with the tournament since though

wbss and sauerland are a complete joke anyway

sauerland defended the briedis elbow and criticised glowacki

organisation which is rife with unprofessionalism

I was HUGE on the WBSS until the Briedis/Mikaelyan decision. And the Briedis/Glowacki fight was just a cartoonish **** show.


This season has been completely clownshoes, and I don't see a third season happening. Funny, since the WBSS is the only reason I got DAZN

[Boxing Logic]

Prograis has no gas tank. Taylor's style is all wrong for him. I would pick Taylor to not just beat him but dominate the second half of the fight barring getting KO'd early which is unlikely at this level of the sport.

He probably has bigger offers now to face easier opponents like Broner, or easier styles for him like Ramirez.

I think the real reason everyone wants out of the WBSS is not because of the payment delays, but because the money scene in boxing has changed a lot since they entered the tournament. DAZN came on the scene and now 2 mil for a fight like Taylor vs Prograis is nothing.

Then again, I thought they got like a 25 million prize for winning it? Or was that just season 1?

In any case, Prograis is probably using this as an excuse to go after lower risk, higher reward options. Pretty disappointing. Taylor will have to be viewed as the #1 guy in the division going forward until someone steps up to fight him. Sounds like no one wants to.

Of course, Prograis is American, Ramirez is American, so the #1 spot will be given to them by Ring or some ****, then they will use that to duck Taylor further and he won't even get a shot until he goes to 147.

Boxing is messed up man. Hopefully if none of these 140 titlists are willing to take the challenge, Loma comes up to 140 and goes straight to Taylor.

They have Prograis under Hearn terms, iron clad contract. No way he fights anybody until he gets legal relief. He's not wiggling out of this. He gets slapped with cease and desist if he even tries a public work out.
