Who had Fury fight as a champion ? Yeah exactly the guy had 1 defense in total against a bum dosser Wilder, while AJ trying to fight the best and Unify the division. Whether you like one or the other guy, there is no question in this one.
I quoted the rules like 50 times, there is not a single rule where its state that they can go lower than 30%. But there is such as going higher than 30, like 40-60, 45-55 and 50-50 in exceptional cases. Anyway going more on this topic is nonsenses. Let's wait and see what team Whyte have to say about the ruling. The fight either going to happen or WBC are going to face another legal case.
Absurd situation. WBC is awfull org, bitter little men, complete crooks, so bad for boxing. Even team Fury had already aknowledged Whyte is worth 25%. WTF??!!!! They are working against the fight. Time for boxing to erase Sulaiman .
2.16 Division of Proceeds in a Purse Offer. The net purse offer (after deduction of all sanction fees payable to the WBC hereunder) shall be divided as follows: (a) first, 10% of the total shall be set aside as a bonus for the winner of the contest, then, of the remainder, (b) 70% of the remaining 90% shall be for the champion and 30% of the remaining 90% shall be for the challenger in title bouts; and (c) 50% of the remaining 90% to each contender in the case of vacant titles or elimination bouts; provided, however, that the WBC Board of Governors, may by a majority vote, authorize a modification of the division of purse offer proceeds between boxers in a purse offer in particular cases, such as consideration of outstanding marketing value of one of the boxers, as the WBC shall determine in its sole discretion. The modification of the split of the remainder shall be limited to 60-40% and 55-45%, except in the most exceptional circumstances, in which the split may be modified to 50-50% at the WBC's sole discretion. Seriously?
Is it possible this ruling makes the fight easier to make? If they said 70:30 Eddie Hearn asks for 40. Now if Furys team comes to the table with a 70:30 split does Whyte just accept it? Hope so because I'd much rather discuss the fight than all this nonsense.
Yes ,seriously. Read the entire document and not what you want to see. Under rule 2 purse bid section 2.2 http://www.wbcboxing.com/downloads/NEW_RULES_AND_REGULATIONS_WEB_FINAL_2009.pdf It clearly states the purse can be modified as they see fit. Rule 2 - Purse Offer Procedures UPDATED FROM 2008 CONVENTION AGREEMENT 2.2 The purse offer regulations and procedures including, without limitation, the respective percentages of the bout purses payable to the champion and challenger, may be modified in special or unusual cases when approved by the vote of a majority of the Board of Governors.
Really? The WBA had a 4 man tournament lined up involving Ugas People had to lobby the WBA to get people to step aside Now all of that was organised instead of trying to fight Crawford Wasters
The public don’t want the WBA tournament they want the Welterweight title unified. Spence Pacquiao and Ugas were obligated to each other. Thankfully the WBA stopped being intransigent. Tell me do you want Spence vs Crawford for the undisputed title or not? I know I do, which is another reason beyond the contractual obligations it’s a good idea.
I just want Spence vs Crawford now Not overly fussed if every belts on the line Anyway how can they sign a contract with Ugas in advance? Isn't that against the rules?
You blind or what ? It's clear state in 2.16 how it can be modified, where it's talk about Champion and mandatory splits. Again: The modification of the split of the remainder shall be limited to 60-40% and 55-45%, except in the most exceptional circumstances, in which the split may be modified to 50-50% at the WBC's sole discretion. Just because this doesn't suit your agenda doesn't mean it's ain't a fact !!!
When Ugas was moved up to the main event to fight Pacquiao the contracts for Pacquiao, Spence and Ugas amended that Spence and the winner of Pacquiao vs Ugas were obligated to fight each other. Nothing complex about it really.
