Marquez vs. Morales deal reached for April 9th, WBC Diamond Belt at stake as well

Erik Morales: Marquez on Board For April 9, Diamond Belt - Boxing News

I'm sure this will disappoint everyone as there was an overwhelming outcry for many people on this board that this fight shouldn't be happening now. Unfortunately, tis on. I'll still watch because as a fight, it'll probably be entertaining while it lasts. For Marquez, this isn't the way to lure Pacquiao though.

At least the super duper WBC Diamond Belt is on the line though. I almost don't understand how we managed all these years without the clarity of a diamond belt.

Diamond Belt - LightWeight Title don't make sense. This fight is above 135, probably 140 , otherwise the WBC and WBO belts would be on the line. My guess is Marquez couldn't agree with Khan on the him accepting a lower purse split which has been his pattern since 2003. At least he is consistent. No doubt he's getting a much bigger percentage over Morales. Better for Morales at this weight, he may have a chance.

I imagine all 3 will be on the line. Boxrec probably haven't added it because nothing has been said about the other 2 titles. Maybe the WBO/WBA haven't approved Morales for a defense of their titles because he's not part of their rankings at that weight. The fight is at 135lbs.

Totally shit fight..........

Totally shit fight..........

How can you say that when the Super Duper Diamond Belt is on the line?!? The fight was shit, but then as soon as Suliaman announced it, it made this fight great!

And what shall be the weight for the clash? I doubt Morales can make the weight for any category where he might still be competitive.

haha...... These belts..... Oh my dear. Sulaiman is hanging on by a thread I guess keeping up with sanction fees via cheeky belts. This fight is total and utter absolute rubbish.

Ah... sorry! guess what dude? There is no Sanctioning Fee for the Diamond Belt. It has no Title significance. It is basically a $50,000 trophy in the form of a belt.

It's actually a nice gift that will come in handy after the fighter blows all his money. He can pawn it first before he starts in on his other belts or use it as a bargaining chip in his divorce. When the first one gets sold well find out if its actually made with moissanite.
