What's next for the Lightweight division?

apparently frank martine has withdrawn himself from the shakur fight. unless he's fighting tank next, it's a bad look. edwin de los santos could step in to face shakur

Really disappointed with Martin and the pbc direction. Lots of rumor and claims...he has Tank lined up...James doesn't think he's ready etc. Who knows. But it's a confounding reality today that a 7 year pro about to turn 29 just inexplicably walks away from guaranteed title shot and million dollar payday. What an era.

And Haney vs Prograis great. But on PPV, not so great. Yet another one we'll be catching via bunk stream or not at all.

I don't know the details
But what a mess
De Los Santos is still a good fight
The business side of the sport sucks
Give me a fighter like Inoue in every division please

Guessing it comes down to Martin holding out for more money. Which makes zero sense coming off that razor thin win he had last out. Yet so many fans are like "he should" as if 1 million is chump change.

Guys don't seem to grab opportunity as it presents itself. Santos is getting a big shot here and while Shakur is heavy fav he'd be wise to not overlook a last resort. We've seen that go bad before.

I can't believe the number of people calling Prograis a cherry-pick . Granted it's not the fight I wanted but it was pretty clear Haney needed and wanted to go up. But to dismiss Prograis...much doing with his last snoozer and Shakur-Haney falling out...is shortsighted bonkers.

But not quite as bonkers as thinking this will do well on PPV . This sport continues to stifle its fanbase growth and frustrate the stubborn old heads that stuck around. You simply cannot ask fans to PAY for 2,3 PPVs in a single month. Just foolish.

[Primo Carnera]

For whatever reason, I reckon Haney gets a lot of unwarranted stick from the boxing community.
He needed to go up, and he’s always fought for titles rather than “money fights” . Prograis didn’t look great in his last fight, but that doesn’t mean much. He’s a legitimate champ at the weight division that Haney is going into.
Ps. On another point , I may have been asleep , but on Boxrec, it’s says that Josh Taylor is “banned indefinitely” by the NYSAC?
Anybody refresh my memory?
