    Technically it was his promoters who made those fights, cant slag them off for the catchweight issue and not praise them for what they did for Khan

    You simpleton, he's already earned the shot at the big fight you're talking about. He's Garcia's mando. He's supposed to be fighting him next anyway. He shouldn't have to fight PEDerson for it. It's just that PEDerson has been put infront of him.

    So how is it bad for Matthysse, you ask? It's because the only decent incentive he had for risking his title shot by fighting PEDerson before Garcia, was that from PEDerson he'd be able to attain a world title if he won. But now that's being taken away from him. He ain't getting nothing for fighting PEDerson. The only thing he's getting is something which he already has - a mando position to fight Garcia. Which is stupid because, as you've just stated ("Schaefer has already said the damn winner is fighter the winner of Judah vs Garcia"), that's something he was gonna' get anyway through this tournament.

    Lucas wants to keep his WBC ranking and be the mandatory for Garcia.

    He doesn't care about the IBF strap plus Lucas isn't ranked by I believe in black fighters.

    Plus, GBP are protecting PEDerson by it being a non-title bout and at CW. What was the point of DC giving him the IBF title from Khan when he wasn't gonna defend it?! I'd rather want the IBF belt on Judah lol....

    who cares. People only started to care about catchweights when Manny Pac did it.

    Before that catchweights have always been used to make alot of great fights in history.

    People ***** and moan as if there's even something to be saving. We live in an era of too many champions, so i say just make the best fights possible at weights that are agreed on.

    Pathetic and nonsensical. They have managed to completely spoil what on paper is one of the best fights of the year

    Surprised this is actually happening.
    Should be a good fight by why should PEDerson have his title protected?!

    everybody gets what is going on BUT you. He already has his title shot no matter what. He is going to lose to PEDerson. The only way he can be sure he gets a title shot is keeping his spot. Stop trying to put this on PEDerson.

    Why would he just sit around and not take a big fight? That is what you are asking him to do.

    The bigger question is why haven't GBP explained the reason for this change from title fight to a catch weight fight?GBP are full of **** and are hustlers.Are they giving the fans who bought tickets a rebate since the tickets where bought with the understanding this was going to be a double header title fight?
    No way,would be my answer.:tired

    wtf? Why would the fans give a **** about the belt? They bought tickets to see a fights and that is what they are going to get

    Should they have given a refund when Floyd didnt want to pay a belt sanctioning fees?

    This fight won't happen now, someone will pull out a few weeks before the fight with a minor injury. Something about this doesn't seem right to me.
