Comments Thread For: IBF To Order Jean Pascal-Michael Eifert Eliminator; Buatsi Out After Missing Contract Deadline

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Joshua Buatsi will have to explore another route to enter the light heavyweight title mix. BoxingScene.com has confirmed that IBF has defaulted the existing purse bid in place for England's Buatsi to have faced former lineal champion Jean Pascal in a light heavyweight title eliminator. Signed contracts were due back to the IBF by September 15, with a courtesy extension granted through Tuesday evening before the sanctioning body elected to cancel the previously ordered fight.

This is stupid.
There won't be a better eliminator for Buatsi.
The next match will be harder & with a less profile fighter.

Eddie Hearn is f#cking up left, right, and centre.

Ducking the corpse of Jean Pascal.

Seems random (bribe?) that they moved this random German guy above Smith just before this happened. Pascal-Smith would've been a good fight. Not sure I really want any of these guys getting a title shot tbh, would just be a time-wasting beatdown.

What is going on? Don't take the Johnson fight now not the Pascal fight. Both winnable. What's the big plan Eddie?

Lmao hearn tanking ANOTHER fighters career. He did it to andrade almost did it to haney(he got away thank god), now buatsi missing out on pascal and callum lol. Either buatsi ain’t very good and hearn saving him to get knocked out by canelo or bivol or else just railroading his career opportunities.

Buatsi can get a direct fight with Bivol, who is under the same banner...no worries.
