Thanks for listing purses D$ helps understand why a fighter like Kovalev still in the ring, and makes one appreciate the efforts of Castano goin to war with 'Mell for half the purse. 🥊
Looking good for the world welterweight championship to be filled having been vacant since Floyd Mayweather retired. The WBA will still have two titleholders in that division so they will obviously dispute the “undisputed” billing of the fight. Interesting to speculate about why the WBA sought to strip Taylor so quickly having previously agreed to a rotation with the other (corrupt) sanctioning bodies. How many kickbacks did they receive from the “representatives of the top six boxers” being consulted about filling the vacancy?
"understanding that the rules must be known by all fighters who fight for a championship or are champions of the sanctioning body,” the WBA said in a statement."
Hey look everybody- the WBA has rules!
And why do they need to convene 6 fighter managers to discuss a vacancy? What's the point of their rankings (shitty as they are) if the top guys don't get to fight for a vacant title? They already ordered the Puello fight, so certainly he figures into a vacant title shot.
Great that we're seeing unification fights happen and getting undisputed world champions. Lets hope it not only continues but happens as often as possible so be nice to unify welterweight, middleweight and heavyweight titles next.
I think Spence is being honest. But also a vet move putting this out there. In case negotiations break down. Bud hasn’t signed with anyone for a reason. No one has been able to justify matching his financial demands. Crawford may only be fighting in court this year (with Top Rank) lol. Hopefully I’m wrong.

Nice to see JMM shouted one. One of the ballsiest, entertaining greats. Too many must-watch fights to list.

only in boxing (and the mob)
I’d be cool with all of the sanctioning bodies banning Muppet costumes from championship fights.
