How is it ducking when he only wants the belts. Many champions vacate and leave the division when they become undisputed.I said Lomachenko should fight his mandatory after becoming undisputed. Wilder is talking about fighting Fury after becoming undisputed. Lomachenko is leaving the whole weight class after he becomes undisputed because Bob can't get the WBC to make Lomachenko franchise champ in order to avoid the mandatory which will be Haney. So they've chosen to duck back down to 130
You beat the top ranked fighters of the division.Comment

And the business can be finished after he becomes undisputed. Fury can continue fighting the Wallin's while Wilder beats Ruiz and gives Fury another shot at the title
And let's not forget. Wilder was ready to finish that business and Fury signed with ESPN. So if a better opportunity for Wilder becomes available (undisputed) he should take it over the Fury fight.Comment

He shouldn't be fighting for the belt if he doesn't want to fight Haney. They knew when they petitioned the WBC for this fight Haney would be the mandatory soon. This is for a VACANT belt that the WBC is giving him an opportunity at. I'm sure they didn't tell the WBC they'd be dropping the belt to avoid their mandatory and the belt would be vacant again.
They gave Lomachenko an opportunity to fight for their belt as a champion of another sanctioning org & he returns the favor by vacating it. Not a good look at allComment

i'm confused, your av suggests you're looking forward to the loma-campbell fight, your sig suggests you think it's trash?Comment

It's agreed to in principle just like their rematch was agreed to in principle. Tim Smith from PBC said he had no idea where Fury got that February date from.Comment

Look at these UKasuals arguing against a unification because it won't involve AJ
BwahahahahahahahaComment

Haymon made Wilder reject life changing money and the opportunity to become undisputed and robbed a big name fighter Wilder fought only because his people thought Fury was damaged goodsAnd the business can be finished after he becomes undisputed. Fury can continue fighting the Wallin's while Wilder beats Ruiz and gives Fury another shot at the title
And let's not forget. Wilder was ready to finish that business and Fury signed with ESPN. So if a better opportunity for Wilder becomes available (undisputed) he should take it over the Fury fight.
I have no reason to think he'll let Wilder fight Fury again and most likely lose them belts
Once Wilder is undisputed he will have one in house fight after another. The undisputed crown is all they need to make Wilder a star in US. That's how PBC operates.Comment

Well he has to win first anyway because either way if Teo or Loma wins both are leaving the division. Loma been talking about going down for tank ever since Pedraza when Haney was not even close to a belt. If the WBC wanted Haney Eddie could have paid step aside money for the #2 rated Russian Haney fighting next and fight #1 Campbell.He shouldn't be fighting for the belt if he doesn't want to fight Haney. They knew when they petitioned the WBC for this fight Haney would be the mandatory soon. This is for a VACANT belt that the WBC is giving him an opportunity at. I'm sure they didn't tell the WBC they'd be dropping the belt to avoid their mandatory and the belt would be vacant again.

Eddie and Haney also seem to think they could get Loma next and are trying to get the winner before Loma has a chance to unify so we will see what the WBC wants to do.Comment
