He lost. Why the **** are they ordering a rematch? The **** kind of money is behind Menayothin? You just know someone had to squeeze some arms to get this done.
It's just the relationships. Imagine how cosy Men's people and the WBC are after all this time? It also strikes me as odd given that he was talking about packing it in. I guess it's eating him.
Panya and Wanheng have the same promoter so there wasn't any petition from Wanheng's team. I assume the WBC are doing this as a favor for Wanheng given that he was a champion for so long.
Yea, it´s BS. I mean, I am fine with the rematch itself. But the WBC ordering it is just absolute nonsense.
Supposedly...Alan Dershowitz said there's legal precident for the result of the first fight being overturned. From what I understand he has taken Menayothins case up probono and the result from the first fight will be null & void before these two square off again. The GOAT will be getting his zero back and he will take care of business in the rematch.
