    He was mandated to fight GGG but since the GGG fight is off, does he get stripped?

    making him mandatory has already been done and the fight still cant get done. just because a guy is supposed to fight for the title doesnt mean they want to in this case

    WBA has given them 15 more days to negotiate, it's not cancelled.

    Let's hope,that if he won't agree to the 25% written in stone,that they take his bull**** belt.

    His belt doesn't matter so him being stripped doesn't have much consequence. They may strip him of it if GGG and Jacobs can't come to terms to make this fight. I'm actually pretty disappointed in Jacobs. I didn't have any faith that he would give GGG a tough challenge, but I'm always interested in a Golovkin fight but now Jacobs has ruined that.

    Hopefully Crawford can get a decent opponent, but I doubt it as it will be on short notice. Who would want to fight him on short notice? Then you have to factor in the fact that most people found his fight against Postol to be incredibly boring so you would have to think that from a promoter's standpoint now is the time to give Crawford a showcase fight where he can destroy his opponent to wash the stink of his last performance. I'd wager that Crawford's next few fights won't be against anyone that he would potentially struggle against.

    He can't be stripped until there is a purse bid.

    Can GGG go to a purse bid without risking his HBO deal? It may turn out that GGG has to vacate and Jacobs is elevated.

    This is what I'm most afraid of, but HBO would want this fight so they may put a lot of money into this to ensure that it stays on HBO. If that happened then Jacobs would probably back out of the fight since clearly he wants no part of GGG.

    It should be really.

    Jacobs is ducking the Golovkin fight it seems so his belt should be stripped.

    It's literally his only leverage. Golovkin won't get any credit for beating the leftovers of Pirog. He'll get credit for unifying all he title claims.

    He can petition the WBA for an extension on the terms of taking another optional, injury, personal hardship or a myriad of other reasons. They will probably grant the extension.
