Carl Froch will take on Gerald McClellan if his manager is willing. (if not we will name a CPU backup later)

Marco Huck will take on Kelvin Davis

[HyacinthusTurnipseed]

Ward offers a shot at his newly won belt to Liles (BoxBuzz). We're not doing any three weeks business though. Otherwise we're open to offers.

G Jones books Brian Minto.

[armageto]

Jirov would like a title shot against Orlin Norris.

If not, he seems eligible for the vacant WBC belt shot.


Calzaghe offers a title shot to any guy listed, not 100% sure if all are coming off a win though:

3 Liles Frankie United States SuperMiddleweight 1309.1

Sorry, I can't interfere. This is simply GBP policy for the season....if Liles is to engage with a managed fighter is must be for a series of three. This policy was put in place in order to illustrate the clear fear that other managers have of GBP managed fighters. Your unwillingness to engage is simply further proof of same.

My advice? Take the 3 fights, and purge your fear.

[gilgamesh]

I take your 3 fight policy as a way to ensure your fighters won't have to take risks against Champions. Something that is common for you as a manager I find.

Nah, only just won my first ever world title in this sim after a war with RJJ - I'm not just going to throw that in the bin just to get a fight with Frankie Liles, no offence. When you've managed guys in the sim as long as you have maybe your priorities change, I don't know.

Next preferences are Nunn, Froch or Kessler.

[BoxBuzz]

I just wish I could do something about policy...but it's simply out of my sphere of influence.

I sold out my stock when it peaked, and am now only a figurehead. A message boy so to speak.

All decisions are now in the hands of the board of directors.

8 Eubank Chris England SuperMiddleweight 1139.4

Michael Nunn is willing.

[witherspoon]

James Toney will fight Leon Spinks.

Ah...this just in........we just got word that Liles can make room for knocking your guy out in week 11 IF you would still offer him the shot or are not under a mandatory flight requirement based on the Commish's wishes.

[armageto]

Jirov would like a title shot against Orlin Norris.

If not, he seems eligible for the vacant WBC belt shot.

Best of luck sir........


Jirov is still interested in Norris or a shot at the vacant belt if Norris goes in another direction.

[kevo]

Dominguez will fight Miller on into 10 and 11.

Liles v RJJ x3?

Kessler will take it

[Techno89]

Carlos DeLeon offers a WTF Title shot to Denis Lebedev

[Techno89]

sevn ottke will fight steve little this week

[Tomasino]

David Haye would like to gain revenge over old Catty Thompson

[Crease]

Looks like there are some interesting developments this week. I'll update this thread and we'll see where that leaves us.

[Crease]

Kessler will take it

The IBF Title fight has already been agreed this week. Michael Nunn got in there before you... Also, Kessler is currently ranked 12th in the SM rankings and thus - not high enough to fight for a World Title.

In the plus side however, you have been offered the chance to fight for the minor belt this week due to your ranking.

[Crease]

A quick clarification might be in order. Two titles have lost their holders this week.

IBO Title
Chris Eubank has been stripped and he won't be allowed to fight for that title for the next 3 weeks - so he's black-listed for that period... Steve Collins (11th) and Mikkel Kessler (12th) will be offered the chance to fight for the vacant title. Should one of them refuse, it skips over the no 13 Jean Pascal (already signed this week) moves down to Gerald McClellan (14th)... And so on and so forth.


WBC World Title
In a surprising turn of events, Juan Carlos Gomez has vacated his World title in a bid to chase Orlin Norris and a WBO Title showdown.
In the aftermath of that the WBC turn to Vassily Jirov (2nd) and have to overlook the no 3 James Toney (already signed up) and the no 4 Evander Holyfield (lost last week)... So the shot is offered to Dariusz Michalczewski (5th) and his Manager, Mr Kevo.

That's all for now folks.

[Crease]

Johnny Nelson will lick his wounds with a bout Ola Afolabi.
Steve Collins agrees to fight for the IBO Title.

[Crease]

And just ot help us along a bit further.
