Stop this farce and give the vacant belt (and the vacant ****** IBO belt while they're at it) to the winner of Lomachenko vs Lopez, then give Haney a shot when he's healthy.

Bull**** WBC ruining the sport...

Hopefully PBC gets this one, will make a great co main event on FOX or main event on FS1

I wonder if Fortuna’s side is thinking of fighting Tank instead cause that’s definitely more money and a bigger name while keeping the money in house...would be a good name for Tank too

I think is both DAZN & FOX are not trying to overpay for this fight

Winning the belt gives Fortuna more leverage. Even if Fortuna loses to Campbell, all he has to do is be competitive to retain his value for PBC. Then, Davis will fight him and try to outdo Campbell's performance.

Also known as "recycling". Something that PBC has been doing with Jesus Cuellar.

Don't know the politics or business behind the fight but I always enjoy watching Campbell fight. I don't see Fortuna beating him, he's too technically sound for Javier. Fortuna has some pop but always seems awkward in there. Campbell by points decision.

Isn't the idea to try to attract new fans to support?
Commissions like the WBA and now the WBC are just making it more confusing for casual fans to know wtf is going on with titles and rankings.

Belts mean nothing. Fortuna should fight Davis next instead, maybe in March. Campbell is a waste of time and a bum.
