Yeah its a disgrace that they have to pay for it but its no different to all non Brits laughing at Haye/Harrison being PPV.
When Yuri Gamboa decided to skip the IBF's mandatory same day weigh-in he lost the IBF title, and Billy Dib fought for and won the vacated belt. I was a bit confused when Dib was fighting for the vacant title as Mikey Garcia was ranked #1 by the IBF at the time, if I remember correctly, so I assumed Gamboa skipping the same day weigh-in was a Top Rank maneuver to avoid working with Golden Boy. Having said that, they later did work with Golden Boy in relation to Gamboa with the Ponce De Leon fight... EDIT: Ignore the GBP - forgot he was signed with Top Rank..
Well then I have a solution for them. They could solve their illegal streaming problem at a stroke: hold a fake fight for the cameras, then hold the real one behind closed doors later on.
