They always get **** on, but here is some positive news about them that didn't get much coverage.
WBC CONTRIBUTES TO SHANNON BRIGGS' MEDICAL EXPENSES
Press Release: The WBC has instituted the Life and Medical expenses insurance since 1978, which has given support to the families of those boxing heroes who have suffered accidents in the ring, as well as to the promoters who have suffered financial expenses while paying medical expenses of fighters. Last week this insurance for medical expenses was used in Germany to treat Shannon Briggs, who challenged for the WBC heavyweight championship, and last month Boxeo de Gala, a Mexican promoter, received almost $75,000 dollars for medical expenses that he had paid for Edgar Sosa and Giovanni Diaz injuries in Chiapas, Mexico. Involved in the insurance program is referee Laurence Cole, who, through The Cole Insurance Agency, arranges insurance for fights taking place all around the world. According to the WBC, 100% of WBC world title fights are covered with life and medical expenses insurance, which has benefits not only for the championship fighters but to all the participants fighting on the card. The WBC will review the insurance coverage and planning during its 48th Annual Convention in Cancun, hoping to bring additional benefits for the boxing world.
