So Makabu has to drop to 190 to defend his belt..

What if he wants to unify the division?

Is the weight limit gonna be 190 or 200?

Why not fück up an already fücked up sport.

I agree.

It seems that Sulaiman just wants more sanctioning fees. :verysad:

I LOVE WBC AND IT'S A GREAT MOVE.
Lot of heavyweight weighting around 220s LBS range and still looks fat, they are hardly 200LBS range of muscle
so they should not be fighting guys like Klitchkos, fury, Joshua. And i think HWs like Tyson, Holyfield, wilder could easily
make up for 224LBs, just by eating a heavy breakfast before weight in.

no, f@uck you ...where are you?

Can they just ... do that? Don't these decisions have to be made by athletic commissions?

So Fury will be Super Heavyweight champion?

So this is why Wilder has been quiet. He’s gonna fight for the vacant WBC heavyweight belt.

Because it's no longer a sport. It's only about screwing the paying fans for more money.

Tonight you can bet the likes of the WBA, the WBO, the IBF, Arum/Top Rank as well as Sulaiman, Goldenboy etc will all be watching the receipts with far more interest than the fight itself.

They mentioned in passing this sort of modern business practice that's threatening to totally change, if not actually kill off sport in the 2017 film Shankly: Nature's Fire.

Back in the 70s when some football players still shared a sense of community with the fans the legendary Liverpool manager Bill Shankly exemplified this sense of belonging that other sports stars also seemed to subscribe to.

In boxing no one did this better than the 'people's champion' himself, Muhammad Ali.

I'd hope he knows how wrong your statement about Ali is. Heavyweight has been the sports worst division for ages, this doesn't really bother me.

But this would just make it worse, splitting it into 2 classes and dividing the already limited pool of talent.

Obviously, shitty to shittier doesn't bother me. Boxing pretty much just sucks these days.

But the size thing is the price you have to pay for not having to make weight and to get heavyweight money, the alternative is that they work their asses off like everyone else has to to fit into the right division for them which in their case is cruiser, don’t tell me they can’t make it cos most of those smaller heavyweights are carrying plenty of extra timber.
