Originally posted by j.razor View PostDevin was supposed to fight Campbell for the wbc, bob said, "Hey wbc can we have l0m0 fight campbell instead for the wbc? (knowing damn well Devin beats campbell). Wbc says sure, then Devin becomes l0m0's mandatory & again bob asks the wbc, "Hey can l0m0 be a franchise champ so he doesn't have to fight Devin?" Wbc says okay. So you can STOP PLAYING. l0m0 over here surrendering his title

Originally posted by Bob Haymon View PostThat's not true at all. Haney was ranked behind Abdullaev. Hearn was trying to push Abdullaev out of the way by saying he wouldn't be able to fight for the vacant title against Campbell because of a ****** holiday. The WBC never ordered anybody to fight for the vacant title so they allowed Loma to fight for it against Campbell. Haney only got the interim belt because Hearn paid off the WBC. The interim belt doesn't come with the mandatory position attached. It's just a useless trinket. The WBC can decide not to make you a mandatory like the did with Charlo's interim belt and like they've done with other interim champions. The interim belt is just there so the WBC can earn twice as many fees so they always drag their feet on ordering an undisputed fight between interim and regular champion. If Haney wanted to force the Loma fight he could've gone through the IBF instead he got screwed by trying to get special privileges from the WBC by wanting to jump ahead of higher ranked fighters and then getting an interim belt that was unnecessary because the regular champion was active. If Haney can get those special privileges there's no reason to expect they wouldn't give Lomachenko special treatment also.
"There is talk that the WBC would do a controversial move of sanctioning a fight between WBA, IBF champion Vasiliy Lomachenko and Campbell for the vacant WBC title - which Hearn does not agree with."
"There is talk of Lomachenko, but I don't think the WBC should order a fight between Luke Campbell and Lomachenko. They should order a fight between the two available fighters in the rankings, and that would be Campbell and Haney right now," Hearn said
bob pushed hard for it to be luke & NOT Devin. AND THEN
"WBC titlist Vasiliy Lomachenko (14-1, 10KOs) being named as the sanctioning body’s “Franchise” champion.
The move came at the request of Top Rank, Inc., whom promotes Lomachenko and is grooming the three-division titlist"
bob pushed hard for THAT too
