The WBA Championships Committee has called for a new purse bid for March 28 in Panama City for the minimumweight bout between super champion Thammanoon Niyomtrong and regular champion Erick Rosa. Niyomtrong’s team previously won a purse bid for rights to the fight and it was to take place last March 3 in Thailand. It did not take place because Rosa had problems related to documentation. The WBA analyzed information supplied from both camps and ruled that there is some responsibility on both sides.
Consequently, a new Purse bid will be called with an additional condition that the fight will take place on neutral ground. Whoever wins the rights to promote this fight, will not be able to hold the fight in Thailand or the Dominican Republic.
In the event that there is no acceptable bid or if appropriate contracts are not submitted in a timely manner, the Championship Committee may order a fight between the next two highest-ranked fighters in the division.
Well now, that’s a good idea! You know if either one wins the bid, they’d most likely want it in their home country and if Rosa can get Niyomtrong out of Thailand, he may have a better shot at winning (presuming they don’t just move it to like Laos or Cambodia) (and they might).
Why would you bid on this if you couldn’t have it in your home country? Minimumweight ridiculous division anyway and yet it has two champions.
Rosa’s Dominican, you can have the fight in New York where a lot of Dominicans live and or other places which have large Dominican or Thai populations.
And I know you absolutely hate weight divisions Mike. I get it! I understand! No one has ever hated anything HALF as much as you hate divisions.
New York if team Rosas wins, Japan if Tham does it
