    "The WBO is the biggest and most recognised of the titles!"

    I agree, much more recognisable than that tatty old green thing that Ali and all the other OTG's held!!!

    herei s a question for you ,who do you think that was aimed at? Reason i ask is because its obviously aimed at local people,we obviously know the truth,but the guy proberly needs to sell tickets to pay his purse rob,so cut him a bit of slack !

    How's that for making a fool out of yourself...

    Have to agree with Alba.

    If it was me personally and me making some doe out of trying to make people believe its for a big title and persuade them to buy tickets thus helping me out financially i'd ****ing sell it too.

    Its not the boxers who are the issue here, it's promoters and the sanctioning bodies themselves

    well i would have to say no ,but there still getting to see a decent fight ,and if he did win it and defend it once or twice technically a world title fight could be made (wether he won it or not is another thing)

    not all boxing relies on tv money and sometimes the figthers have to generate there own intrest to sell tickets,and get paid .

    Why don't they just sell this as a straight world title fight? Just forget the eliminator stuff and go full fraud mode on it.

    :yep Might as well strip Salido now because it's clear he wants no part of either of these two.

    Tbh, I've never even heard of this Ben Jones geezer :conf

    Probably says more about my boxing knowledge than him but still, it's not good.

    That side of the sport is ****ed anyway so if a boxer can do a bit of creative selling on the back of it to bump his purse up and bit then thats fair enough.
