What else are they supposed to do?

He's the "interim" champ.

Having Max/Pettis fighting for an interim belt is absurd.

Whole situation is a **** show

 

[Deleted member 37467]

Yea, they need to do away w/ the interim belts immediately, it's ridiculous.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

This particular interim fight takes the cake in ridiculousness.. which says a lot

 

[thehealthinspector]

i've given dana a lot of crap but i'll give him credit for this, promoting someone who has no intention of defending their belt is beyond ridiculous

 

[carver]

This all started because Dana and co allowed Conor to do whatever the hell he wanted

 

[af1 1982]

Aldo/Frankie was one of the few cases an interim champ made sense. Conor was fighting in different weight classes and they didn't know if he was coming back.

 

[Benny Hinn]

as if someone who refuses to defend the title isn't a paper champion

Still not a paper champion. Call him a coward if you'd like

Like Em said. You only get 1 shot. Unfortunately for Aldo, that shot was a KO

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Card tonight on paper is one of the worst I can remember and the first 8 fights were decisions lol

 

[QU!K]

Things I expect to happen while Conor is out with contract disputes trying to get ownership shares and preparing for the birth of his baby.

Conor probably won't fight again until Q2 2017

Pettis vs Holloway
Tyron vs Wonderboy 2
Aldo vs Pettis/Holloway for 145 belt (they'll strip Conor)
Khabib vs Ferguson for interim 155 belt mid 2017

Am I a wizard or nah?

really?  someone who refuses to defend their title isnt a paper champion?

yeah, ok

 

[dman14]

[droseph]

Derek Brunson is a damn idiot.

**** show

 

[RustyShackleford]

This whole 145 division is a **** show now.

Conor refusing to defend his belt, Aldo having a temper tantrum, and a new paper champ being crowned at 206.

Now Aldo got all the juice . If I were him I would agree to unify the 145 belt, then demand and instant shot at Conor at 155.

 

[RustyShackleford]

The Fertittas at the crib right now watching this **** show like.......

Cashed out at the right time

 

[dman14]

^thanking that chinese company that came in with that ridiculous initial offer and having WME/IMG come in with 4B's

Yyyyyeah. Do you even know what paper champion means?

Mac is a paper champion for knocking out Aldo in 13 seconds

Yeah, ok

 

[Chester McFloppy]

Now Aldo got all the juice . If I were him I would agree to unify the 145 belt, then demand and instant shot at Conor at 155.

@ 13 Seconds demanding anything.

Only thing he'll be demanding is a juice box after Conor cracks his flimsy chin again.

do you know what a paper champion is?

winning the actual belt doesnt automatically exclude you from being a paper champion

what kind of champion refuses to defend their belt?

Exactly what I want Aldo to do

 

[shogun]

They kinda had coordinating tattoos. Both had stars on the left sides of their chests.

 

[Cashflow]

Whatever PPV the unification bout is on would have to bring in at peast 800,000 buys for Josie to be anle to make any demands

I can't wait until all of this plays out and only about 450,000 people tune in. McGreGOAT is going to have a field day

 

[boxer15]

I think it'll be less than 450k to be honest.

They should just forget Pettis and have Aldo/Holloway for the title.
