WBC Refuses To Sanction Barrera-Marquez

[Violent Demise]

Who gives a fuck what the WBC wants. Dump that shit in the trash like Bowe did and fight.

Not more than Marquez he doesn't

In the end, this ruling is going to mean absolutely nothing. Barrera has never cared about belts, and I doubt he's going to start caring now. He's not going to walk away from a big fight to fight some #1 mandatory contender who he has no interest in fighting. Barrera-Marquez will still happen, and the WBC will just give their belt to someone who hasn't earned it and no one will even care. It's why the alphabet belts don't mean anything and haven't for a long time.

from the 130lb standpoint, i dont think so cuz JMM has yet to even fight at 130 yet while Soto actually abandoned his WBC 126 interem belt to fight an Eliminator at 130 for the right to face MAB. JMM on the onther hand still has the WBO and has never fought at 130 yet.

my solution would be to let MAB face JMM and have Soto face Pac or someone for the Interim Belt. that way the winner of MAB/jmm would have to face the winner of Pac/Soto and everyones happy.

think oscar will talk him into vacating. hope so anyhow cc'd ya in another thread so can't cc back haha!

You know...honestly...I'm surprised that Oscar even lobbied for this fight.

Barrera & Marquez are now stars on his roster...& he automatically pits them against each other?

Kinda odd...but it equates to money & also straightening out the Pacquiao rematch situation later down the road...if Arum allows that to happen.

think both barrera and JMM got ot much pride not to fight each other, and one thing i like about GBP they aint scared of putting their best fighters in the ring with achother, or up and comers, liek that jimmiy jaxa (Sp) he looke dpretty sharp in there with JMM; i think in some years you might see him fighting for a title, but GBP wasn't worried about putting him in with one of/the best at the weight and as a result got stopped by JMM...

+ ONe thing oscar knows prolly better than anyone else in the world, being in big fights, win or lose as long as you do well you get credit and more big fights...

But yeah, no doubt money is a factor:P
