Peter Quillin vacates WBO title, wants bigger challenges at 160

[Rantcatrat]

Fucking pathetic waste of space. Korobov is nothing special. Career high pay day and he turns it down. Quillin is a disgrace and Haymon is a disgrace to boxing and is making a mockery of the sport.

I guess the 1.4 million to fight Korobov was not big enough.

The second article says Haymon might have Quillin-Jacobs lined up

Koborov is managed by Top Rank. Quillin by Haymon. Haymon is going to war with Arum of Top Rank.

This is a bad move for Quillin in terms of popularity in boxing. He'll get grief for this because it looks like a duck job. It looks like his team didn't have confidence that he would beat Korobov because the risk/reward ratio when he's being paid $1.4 million is pretty good.

Who vacates the title with a career high pay day in sight against a guy he'd be favored over? If he had a fight with Jacobs lined up, put it on hold for three months, beat Korobov, and then face Jacobs? If WBO wouldn't support unification with Jacobs, then you move on and face Jacobs after making $1.4mm and everyone understands.

Sure, Korobov is promoted by Top Rank, but Jay Z was promoting the fight, AND, Haymon's done business with Top Rank recently - Loma vs. Russell.

This only makes sense if Haymon wouldn't do business with Jay Z. I can't think of any other reason.
