24 hours later, the WBC announces it will sanction Usyk-Verhoeven

Anything to collect a sanctioning fee.

I watched the movie Giant last night for the first time. It was phenomenal, showing the journey, ambition, and complicated bond between Prince Naseem Hamed and Brendan Ingle. I highly recommend it. #Boxing

Whether #OpetaiaGlanton on Sunday is for the IBF belt or not is unsettled. Per IBF statement to me today: "The IBF is not making public statements at this time regarding the Opetaia v. Blanton bout." Member of Opetaia team: "The word is no agreement yet." #boxing

Fresh out the oven, Three Knockdown Rule with Mario Lopez and I. This week we discuss... ( HUSTLER Casino boxbid.io Vito Glazers Liferx Md Undisputed ) - Navarrete's statement win - Usyk-Verhoeven, Benn-Prograis - Floyd Mayweather - #AskMario youtube.com/watch?v=HWXyYC…

This is Exhibit A for why boxing has declined in popularity in the United States and why major broadcasters have distanced themselves from the sport.

It was never really about the belts even when it looked like it was. The belts only mattered until they didn’t. They were always just a gateway to the real prize, the money.

As I said months ago, when I called out the performative activists who claimed they cared about fighter pay and the fighters, these same people defended the WBC against Terence Crawford and are now defending Eddie Hearn over Conor Benn, who got a massive payday. Some are even

I’ve always considered myself a consequentialist, meaning I’m always more concerned about the outcome instead of the drama surrounding it. Regardless of whether or not Eddie Hearn's feelings were hurt, he was never going to be able to match the offer, and Conor was always going

What is telling is not why Usyk took the fight but what the WBC is doing. As a nonprofit organization, they are putting their title on the line to collect the largest possible sanctioning fees from both Usyk and Verhoeven. It is understandable for Usyk but a nonprofit should not

Your statement makes no sense since Matchroom, through DAZN, was willing to finance the fight, but Golden Boy blocked them. The Matchroom and DAZN deal would have given both fighters what they wanted. Golden Boy could have done the same thing that Matchroom did when they allowed

It is simple why the WBC is a nonprofit, regardless of how they operate and why they could never be a successful for profit organization. In the Crawford fight, the market dictated the sanctioning fees and the belts. The WBC tried to go against the market value and charge

Can someone please provide an actual statement from the IBF? I've been to there website and social medias and there is nothing there about this. As long as he pays the sanctioning fee I'm not sure what the problem would be.

People are criticizing Zuffa for signing Andy Ruiz. I've seen on SM by self-proclaimed boxing experts that Ruiz isn't worth it. It's true that Andy has been the tale of two fighters, but at the end of the day the Zuffa boxing model, one that ALL of the sanctioning bodies TRIED to

Meanwhile Inone is reading this while laughing all the way to the bank.

I agree with all of this.
