This fight is simply for the #1 ranking and therefore the mandatory position to Trout's regular title. The winner of this fight doesn't win a title! atsch If it was for a title, what would the fight against Trout be for, to unify titles in the same organisation at the same weight? .
from all reports options is how the deal broke down. plus as u have already said trout also wanted another 100k and he has never ever made that amount b4. Is trout within his rights to make the best deal possible? yes. is mundine within his rights to not get jacked and become the mandatory so he can bypass all that ****, make a lazy mill or 2 and become interim world champion in the process? yes.
If Mundine beats Alvarez, he becomes Trout's mandatory. What is there to argue with there? You're assuming I've implied that I think Mundine will beat Alvarez to become Trout's mandatory, and then actually face Trout Just like he did with Golovkin What Mundine's doing is stalling for time, trying to take those who will pay to watch him fight anyone for as much of a ride as he can, before finding another excuse to avoid Trout. You clowns are here arguing that beating Alvarez will make Mundine Trout's mandatory - my point is this - why pay Alvarez whatever he has to pay him to get him out here to fight for the interim 3rd tier title in order to become Trout's mandatory, when he could have offered Trout another $100k to fight him for his regular/second tier title and bypassed Alvarez (and the vacant interim 3rd tier title). He would be one fight closer to Cotto than he is now, and considering he offered Cotto $2mill to fight him, surely that's what Mundine REALLY wants
You realise interim titles are fought for by the 2nd and 3rd ranked contenders when the champ i.e. the title holder, is unavailable to fight due to medical reasons. When the champ i.e. the title holder is medically fit to defend his title again, he faces whoever holds the interim title. Tell me who the medically unfit WBA JMW second tier title holder is.
uv assumed u know something about wat mundine is actually doing. im curious to know wat u think of greens career decisions. should be interesting.
You really can't work that one out? Why pay someone who moved the goal posts and changed the contract extra, when you can make a few million by beating alverez, and WIN AN INTERIM (hahaha get in there) TITLE in the process? Then get to fight Trout on your own terms, having just pocketed a ton of cash to take down alverez! Which he will by the way!:hi:
IBumBoys, the interim title was sanctioned by the WBA due the dodgy nature of trout's management team ****ing around with the contract on the table! Thus forcing the issue on trout!
here is one from trouts perspective where he actually states he wanted at least one option http://www.fighthype.com/pages/content10547.html. who knows wat he did or did not really want.
1. Mundine will never fight Trout. 2. This thread is about Mundine, why bring Green up - have you run out of excuses for Mundine? You got links to prove what you say about Trout is true ash? And what about your claim that Trout would never be ranked higher than Mundine? Just remember whopperALT - becoming a mandatory and actually facing the champ are 2 completely different things :yep Ask Kessler and Golovkin about that
are you saying that Golovkin was a mandatory to mundine? Wow you really do just read tabloid headlines and then add 150% of your own warp for you own agenda! Donkey has you pegged right on!
One option. A rematch clause is standard when a title is on the line, especially if the champ is fighting in his challenger's backyard. Trout states that Mundine backed out when his ranking was changed from 3 to 1. This all sounds quite believable to me, but of course, Mundine ***boys like you would prefer to believe Trout soured the deal by demanding too much, changing the goalpoasts. etc.
