Same bull****, different day. I also want to see GGG-Charlo on a fair playing field but if the past is anything to by, this is just the start of the ****ery where they will try to screw GGG over in favor of building up a younger, North American star. That Charlo is advised by Haymon just makes it even juicier for the WBC which seems to be run by Al Haymon now. If people think Bob Arum's relationship with the WBO is bad, Haymon's hold over the WBC is twice as bad.

That Golovkin fight Charlo as his next WBC mando is quite reasonable, what is less clear is where that stands in regards to Golovkin's defense rotation. If the WBC are now saying that Golovkin must either fight Canelo next or fight Charlo next or be stripped one would have thought they should have made that situation clear at an earlier stage (ie. when it became clear that Canelo would be available to fight in September). By taking this step now it appears that they are acting in a way that deliberately and directly impacts on Golovkin's chances of negotiating the best possible deal for himself.
It does appear to me that they are being somewhat partial towards Canelo here, but since their own rules allow them to do basically exactly as they please there probably ain't much Golovkin can do about it. Furthermore given that the IBF are already currently making a decision on whether Golovkin should be obligated to fight his mando for them next (presumably acting under agreement with the WBC that they were next in rotation) one would hope that the WBC take account of their previous arrangements both with the IBF and WBA.
EDIT: Actually the more I think about it the more distasteful this appears by the WBC. They had already agreed to waive their mandatory requirement for this cycle and that the IBF were next in rotation. IMO that was the incorrect decision (i'm big on guys fighting their mandos), but having made that decision to then reverse it at a crucial stage in negotiations (both between the IBF and GGG and between Canelo and GGG) is blatant and unashamed favouritism.Last edited by Citizen Koba; 05-30-2018, 02:16 AM.

I hope Canelo tells him that his percentage earnings have been dropped from 35% to 30%... Take it or leave it!
I wanna see what Little g will do...

I’d rather see the charlo fight but I’d rather see Sergiy first if it means he can keep his belt
