    Should be. The wait may be because Lebedev hasn't yet definitely said no. He's complaining that a defending champion should make more, but obviously the principle that the winner makes more shouldn't be changed. The winner getting the bigger prize is truly 'prizefighting', rather than boxers getting a predetermined purse win or lose (and getting paid based on success is simply how every other individual sport works).

    Lebedev and Glowacki both in would be best, and Wlodarczyk made a spare, as it wouldn't be fair to Glowacki to keep him out as he's more deserving than Wlod. Though I guess it also wouldn't be fair to Wlod to demote him at this point. How have they not yet finalised the field, with just three days till they're supposed to all be in Monte Carlo for the draw draft? Of course moreso at smw.

    Wow, literally all of the top dogs have signed up so far, and I wanted Kudderz to compete because he adds an entertaining, hard punching element.

    Glowacki or Lebedev, I don't mind (I really like Lebedev but I think he's past prime now). Someone will probably pull out anyway so we'll see both of these participating either way.

    Huck is still a top contender.

    The one who doesn't deserve the spot is Wlodarczyrk, Huck would still beat him fairly easily.

    Even without Usyk, Dorticos and NotMayweather aka Pretty Boy Dmitry this was looking impressive but now that everyone who's anyone is in, this is legendary stuff. Only way to make it even more epic is to drag Lebedev in to this.

    Can't wait. War Briedis! :D

    Man, what a line up for the cruiserweight series.

    And then you look at the super middleweight line up...

    Would be great if Lebedev and Glowacki confirmed and they made Wlod and Huck fight for an at large bid like in the NCAA basketball tourny.

    Joking to a point due to the time table logistics but a novel concept nonetheless.

    Why are none of the Floyd/TMT sycophants not talking about this tournament? They can all put their collective eggs in the Dorticos basket.

    Is there no TV info about the draw draft yet? They say it's supposed to be a televised event. It better be streamed on Youtube.
