That injury story did come off pretty odd.

He's got the call........



Mayweather obviously had him in mind, the same as Alexander and his pull out. Zab can happen anytime, just sit back and wait and he could get the payday of his life

Devon will be stripped if he signs for the floyd bout.

Everyone is saying its a bait move by Floyd..

IBF wouldn't dare strip boring ass Alexander, when that title would be on Floyd shoulder the best p4p fighter out there, after that asswhipping


The only thing Brook and his people could do is soil Alexander name in the public and hope that dirty's up the potential mayweather fight

The devastating run of February fight cancellations continues with Johnathon Banks reportedly pulling out of his February 16 rematch with Seth Mitchell due to a broken thumb suffered in sparring. The bout was to be the HBO co-feature for WBC lightweight champion Adrien Broner’s defense against Gavin Rees.

So far this month, we have already lost the entire card featuring WBC/WBA super lightweight champion Danny Garcia vs Zab Judah on February 9th, plus IBF champion Devon Alexander vs. Kell Brook on February 23 (both to be televised on Showtime) and now Banks-Mitchell. All three cards are promoted by Golden Boy.

Beautiful...

IBF: We Will Not Approve Mayweather vs. Alexander - Boxing News

Devon Alexander will not be allowed to try and unify the welterweight division against Floyd Mayweather Jr at the expense of Kell Brook, according to the International Boxing Federation.

Alexander and Brook were meant to fight for the former's IBF belt in Detroit on February 23, but the American withdrew on Monday citing a biceps injury.

Waters were then muddied on Wednesday morning when Mayweather Jr, the unbeaten pound-for-pound best boxer on the planet, claimed he was close to agreeing terms with Alexander for a unification fight.

"The negotiations for my fight are almost done. The front runner is IBF Champion Devon Alexander. It'd be a unification bout at welterweight," he told his official Facebook and Twitter pages.

A scrap with Mayweather Jr would be financially more beneficial for Alexander but, as the IBF champion, he has an obligation to fight their mandatory challenger Brook, who earned the right by beating Hector Saldivia in October.

The only way Alexander could have even tried for a unification fight with Mayweather Jr would have been to have got exemption from the IBF within 90 days of his last fight on October 20.

And according to them, that has not and will not be granted.

In a statement, they said: "We have not received any requests or information on this from either camp.

"Because Alexander is under contract to fight Brook he would not be granted an exception to fight Mayweather."

Brook's promoter, Eddie Hearn, promised to fight tooth and nail for Brook, the 26-year-old from Sheffield who has been in a 14-week training camp ahead of the proposed Alexander fight.

The unbeaten Brook said on Twitter that he was willing to face anyone in order to become a world champion, writing: "I have been in camp for 12 weeks I want to do damage. Alexander, a vacant belt or even Mayweather I don't care!"

The IBF's stance backs up the thoughts of Hearn, who has called on Alexander's promoters, Golden Boy, to show their hand.

This shyt man

 

[LauderdaleBoss]

Damn, boxing in 2013 is off to a garbage ass start.

 

[JohnStarksMiddleFinger]

Jose Sulaimon just announced that WBC will not sanction the Mayweather vs Alexander fight either.

I think Floyd knew this was going to happend, he's just bullshytting us.

Damn, boxing in 2013 is off to a garbage ass start.

Not too much on the horizon either.

 

[yawn]

Who here saw this shyt coming though?

We all enjoyed a great year for boxing last year. Showtime and GB started off great but their recent fights are .

HBO put on great matches all year and they showcased some new talented fighters but now their upcoming fights are either boring/mismatches or rematches.

As a new boxing fan I caught on quick that boxing hurts itself with it's politicking, multiple belts and few promoters who if they have disputes won't work with each other even though they lose money and the fans lose out on great fights.

This shyt is annoying.

*Hopes he can damper the somber mood of boxing fans*

Perhaps...the GOAT ​

Ray Robinson-Archie Moore...GREATEST FIGHT THAT NEVER HAPPENED, period.
