One of the easiest ways to criticize boxing’s sanctioning bodies is over the abundance of world champions and the fees being charged to fighters whose purses, in many cases, fall far below the sport’s biggest names.

That indignity was one of the points highlighted by Zuffa Boxing in their ongoing campaign to transform the Muhammad Ali Act, and their preference to avoid working with the four major sanctioning bodies – WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO.

On one hand, two of the sanctioning bodies, the WBO and IBF, award just one belt per division.
