Can you believe Sulaiman and the WBC?

[donnydarkoIRL]

Sergio Martinez and Andre Berto have both had their championships taken from them by the WBC.
The reason given was bad language used by their promoter Lou Dibella.

Even more ludicrous, Sulaiman will allow both fighters to regain their titles by sending the WBC a 1000 dollar cheque each and their fight trunks from their title fights.

Here's the quote from Sulaiman;

"But I'm a fair man, Each of these fighters can apply for immediate reinstatement to the WBC rankings. All that's necessary for each of them is to send a request for reinstatement to the WBC with a cheque in the amount of one thousand dollars to cover the administration fee. And because I bend over backwards to help boxers, Martinez and Berto may apply for immediate reinstatement if they send me the trunks that they wore on the night that they won the WBC championship.”

This is not true....Popst like this cause stupid shit and rumors that mean nothing...save these games for somewhere else

Think you know me well enough to know that I wouldn't disrepute anyone for my own benefit Daxx.

It sounded like he owns a Pawn shop that is in $2000 debt... Strip 2 fighters titles away, charge them $1000 each to get them back, then take their trunks as a bonus to sell in the shop....
Isn't that basically Fraud? Or perhaps blackmail? Or robbery.....


But as Daxx said, it's not true..... But this sort of story would NOT surprise me with how the politics of boxing is working lately..

[Lance Uppercut]

Although I dont know whether this story is true, the story does contain some similarities with Suliaman's past behavior:

He has drop fighters from the rankings, for language (ie Chris Areola)

and he has strong armed fighters into giving him their trunks (ie Kelly Pavlik)

Haha this topic made me laugh. Fair play.

I would not mthink so mate as you ahve always been an upstanding poster but this is just crazy...Where did you get this from anyhow? Seriously I mean if this is being put out by some sort of media outlet then it can cause problems....

I apololgize for being harsh on you but these things tick me off...Not only so mmuch for the people it is being said about but when stuiff like this floats around and different fans see this stuff they pass it on then when found not true it makes our forum look like idiots....Likie we have a bunch of clowns posting here...

But I promise it is not true....

For one it cost more then 1000 to cover admin fees if a fighter is stripped....Second DiBella would have him in court so fast Suliman could not back peddal quick enough....Third thier trunks?

Received an e mail thursday morning.
It was from a journalist I know. He was paraphrasing anothers work and when I checked it out, sure enough there was an article on a very well reputed website.

However it seems the article has been withdrawn and was replaced with the Martinez/JCC jr. story.

Suliman collects trunks- he requested Pavliks after beating Taylor if you remember? Thats what made the story eerily believable.
