How has Frank Buglioni got a WBA World Title shot?!?

[PokerRob]

Not that Im complaining mind you, good luck to the guy...

I just though you had to be ranked in the top 15 by the sanctioning body (which Frank is not), or does that not apply to the regular WBA World Title??? lol

Incidently he is ranked No.5 by the WBO sanctioning body!

Does anybody even care about rankings any more?

[Rexob]

A great management team!

Was it not that rent a gub Don King that said 'it's not what you deserve it's what you can negotiate' or something along they lines? True saying I suppose! It is a bit of a piss take that Buglioni is fighting for a title that none other than Carl Froch held but a few months ago! Good luck to him though.

He's not.

[JimJim2009]

because his promoter has money to burn; its been a cheap year for BN so far and all those twelve quid monthly subs add up....

I agree mickey. He does about 800 odd which is decent obviously but not huge

As of a couple of weeks ago he'd sold £100k+ in tickets, very few fighters in the country can match the ticket sales he does.

And you can be sure the commentators will remind us endlessly about Frank's big fan base and what a big ticket seller he is, until Chudinov takes over in round 2 and stops him in 5

Because boxing is utterly broken and can never be fixed?
