Comments Thread For: Prograis: Frustrated With WBSS, Their Actions During Tournament

[MulaKO]

That’s another scenario. Which could be true, but why send litigation papers though? Haven’t they paid him for all his previous fights. Am stil a bit confused by this. The final is set, we don’t have the venue and date but that isn’t usual.

He is owed money
Plus they were supposed to deposit some coin into a neutral account, I guess after fight he can take it
But nothing
He ain’t ducking chit
Like I said before , term ducking get thrown around this site the same way the WBC throws around belts
Ray , would you work for free
I didn’t think so , and it’s not the first time the wbss has done some shady chit
Baranchyk threatened to pull out of the Taylor fight for same reason
Only got it when he threatened legal action

[MulaKO]

It's just an excuse, imo. He's been offered good money for easier fights outside the tournament and he isn't confident of beating Taylor so he's decided to duck him.

Ducking fughin Josh Taylor , what a fughin joke or just hate
Taylor was lucky to get through Baranchyk
Prograis knows he’s got an easy one but also wants to be paid
Lmfao ducking ok WBC

Yeah I don’t think he is ducking, but I would also not be shocked if he has been offered something big else where, am reading up on this whole thing and trying to figure why litigation papers were filed that quick.

I read about the Baranchyk thing too, which I didn’t know beforehand. Hopefully this can be resolved, because they have been good for boxing fans, we get to see the best fighting the best in the finals.

Your absolutely right
It is an exciting and entertaining concept but they need to get paid what their due
You know they enter the tourney voluntarily , so not sure by this ducking bullchit
Just to far fetched , he’d breach his contract
And sorry , it’s only fughin Josh Taylor ffs

He went to Scotland to see him in the ring, why would he duck now? He almost pulled out pre semi finals. Barancyk almost pulled out. Donaire almost pulled out. What are people talking about ducking

Sad to say cause I usually don’t give a fugh but seems to me many of the platform fans ( that’s what I call them ) are the ones yelling the term ducking
Yesterday one poster went as far to state this is the PBC trying to fugh up Dazn’s plans
People are fughed
They’d rather two promoters argue than a fight
They’ll be watching for Fox vs Dazn but not two boxers

That’s a great point, I read Nonito wasn’t happy too and nearly pulled out, then I think they got their acts together and then announced the fight a few days later. I don’t know, we shall see how this plays out.

Right? It’s a sad state of boxing fandom. Luckily there are still a few folks who know a little about the sweet science

[SchoolTheseCats]

Wait so other fighters had to sue or threaten to sue for them to get paid? Am so oblivious to all of these. I was thinking why the sudden demand to have money in escrow. Did they miss is past payments or is this a way for him to get out of a tournament.

They eventually paid the guys but was late, every weight class in tournament had a few guys threaten to drop out because of money sad though tournament great idea but run by inept people

Yeah it looked like that from all the things that am reading, even nonito had issues with them a few weeks back before they finally announced his final fights with Inoue.
