BOXING (August 29)

[TSIAS]

5. Mosley/Mayorga as well

This is one of the rare times I won't buy a PPV. I like Mosley's more outlandish personality, but this fight is not credible. Mayorga couldn't come close to making weight, and pre-staged antics is all they have to sell this fight.

Speaking of not being credible, somehow the WBA has decided to declared its 3rd Featherweight Champion, decreeing the winner of Mares/Santa Cruz as their super champion. I don't understand their super, regular, and interim championship belts. I can't see how someone not even ranked #1 by their organization can win a superior belt than the one currently held by Jesus Cuellar. I'm thinking this is the WBA's way of making their sanctioning fees of a bout where the contestants earn a combined 2.5M. If they get 3 %, which I believe is the fee, the WBA gets 75k and gives the winner their "diamond" belt.
