What if they held a purse bid and no one showed up?
The WBO may be answering that question next Friday as the disinterest among the supposed to ?interested parties? involved in a lightweight title bout between champion Nate Campbell and interim beltholder Joel Casamayor is overwhelming.
Herewith Michael Michael?s Top 7 Reasons Why This Purse Bid Is Futile:
Golden Boy is hell bent on staging Casamayor-Juan Diaz, an in house GBP match, on Sept. 13 where Oscar de la Hoya can continue his hype his association with the pro soccer team, the Houston Dynamo. HBO is not showing any ?love? for Nate Campbell despite his huge upset of Golden child Juan Diaz. They are also not showing any ?love? for Don King. GBP paid a sizable signing bonus to Diaz and the people who run the company consider Casamayor an ungrateful and always irritating guy. The Goldens will swoon if Diaz can revert to form and rid them of the crafty Cuban. Jaime Quintana, Juan Manuel Marquez rep, frankly informed Casamayor?s handlers that Juan Ma will never fight Joel but that they are keen on facing the ?Galaxxy Warrior? in hopes to snatching his WBO, WBA and IBF belts. Naturally, taking the three belts from Slick Nate would put them in a power position vis-?-vis a third bout against Manny Pacquiao. Showtime, where Gary Shaw is the gatekeeper, also shows no ?love? for Great Nate. The SHO clique is more focued on making Rafael Marquez-Israel Vazquez IV. Indications are that Pacman guru Bob Arum hopes to match Megamanny with Campbell and thus prevent JM Marquez from possibly grabbing the three title trinkets. It?s a lightweight division loaded with top talents but?it?s also a lightweight logjam. It says here the key player thus becomes #1 ranked WBO contender Joan Guzman. If the price is right, Guzman will fight Godzilla. Thus, breaking the lightweight logjam can happen quickest if Guzman quickly lines up a fight against either Juan Ma or Campbell.
