The office of the Commish would politely remind you that there is nothing to stop you from calling out viable contenders... Regardless of how many challengers call you out, you will always have the final say on what your fighter will take. As such the resonsiblity to find a fight is
yours alone - it comes along with the belt as any of the experienced Managers on here would tell you.

It is well documented on every Matchup page that:
CPU OPPOSITION IS DISCOURAGED AND FROWNED UPON.
On this occasion you will be given the benefit of the doubt and this fight will go ahead this week for your
IBO Title. However, now that you have been notified directly, we expect that this occurance will not happen again.
Furthermore, you will not be "getting off lightly" as it were. It has not escaped our attention that you failed to defend your title last week because you did not fight an elligible contender.
As such, you
will have to defend your
IBO Title next week against the first elligible challenger who calls you out. This is not an option, we are clamping down on this sort've backsliding - being a Champion means maintaining the integrity of the belt, your stable and the Sim.... And this can only be done by respecting the rules that were put in place to offer opportunities for everyone regardless of their rank.
This has been a ruling from the Office of the Commish.
My utmost apologies for the 'Moore/Fenech' bout, as I was dealing with personal family issues. So I was away and unable to make a selection for that particular week. However, touche, for matching Moore up in a hard match (which ended in a draw). As for selecting Lionel Rose for this week--- all I did was look at the top 15-40, and randomly picked someone off the list. I didnt't check and see if it was an active fighter chosen by someone--- which brings me to a point, how does a CPU fighter who is not controlled by anyone become a top ten, twenty, thirty, forty anything? However--- I dont find myself at fault on this, maybe there needs to be some changes made to the rankings system where CPU opponents cant make the top forty list what so ever. So my decision stays, with defending against Rose, however next time I will give advance warning when I leave for a week and will next time look at the ratings system a bit more carefully. Jesus bless.
