Cause i don't understand if you are paying the damn fees why they would just strip you because you win another belt....I know Danny and Ward have yet to be stripped but i hear there are discussions on stripping them...but why?
Which is why they stick their Diamond b.s in any fight that generates revenue and they don't have their hand in.
Cotto vs Pac
May vs Cotto
Freaking Donaire vs Nishioka
Supposedly, the Diamond belt does not have a sanctioning fee attached to it, it's just a "prize". It doesn't have a lineage that one would follow, it's only for that specific fight.
Now, there's been a bunch of shady shit done by the ABC organizations in recent memory. You've had the WBO strip Pirog because he wanted to unify with Golovkin, you've had WBC say they would strip Canelo if he fought Trout. WBC also unfairly stripped Sergio of his MW title. I know people had problems when the IBF decided not to strip Peterson although he tested positive.
Everyone, feel free to add to the list lol
Hopefully this will start pushing countries into not recognizing the WBC as a legitimate sanctioning body.
In Japan, the IBF and WBO are not recognised - will this push them into dropping the WBC & recognizing the IBF instead, which seems to the best out of the lot.
And what happens when the WBC try to strip one of the big, popular German champions because of this? - the Germans are not likely to be impressed.
And what happens if they try to strip one of the Klitchko's??
I see a lot of court cases in the WBC's future in they try such stunts Europe, with a possibility of them being referred to one of the higher EU courts, with their future as a recognized santioning body in Europe at stake.
Also the Russians are finally getting their stuff together in the pro game - watch how unimpressed they are likely to get if it happens a few times to some of their guys...
Or maybe we should just hope that the corrupt piece of garbage that is Jose Sulaiman will finally just f*cking die, & leave the boxing world atleast a slightly better place...
I don't think they've given an official reason. It shouldn't be related to sanctioning fees because they could establish the % they want and other commissions can't change that. I think they're trying to stick it to their competition and steal away the fighters. At any rate, it hurts the sport, and the rule will likely be applied at Sulaiman's discretion. For example, they would never strip Mayweather for something like this.
I went to quote why from my tread this morning, only to find out that it was deleted. Seems to be happening to me a lo lately. I see a lot of name calling & different stuff happening on a daily, but I call out a couple people then boom, it's deleted.
Anyway in short, if the wbc takes away unifying their title, then ginger doesn't have to fact Trout, K-9, or any other belt holder in his weight class & all they have to do is give a welterweight or jr a ranking & make the fight.
And I applaud the mods for that. Now you're just being silly.
"To protect ginger", that's so stupid.
as far as i know, theyve never tried to hide the fact that its about money. if someone unifies, then all the belts get multiple percentages of the purse. less money for them is unacceptable. which is why they will say fcuk off to their own rules when it comes to guys like floyd and manny and they start creating belts for them to win if they dont have one in the mix already.

Please. They want their hands where the money is. Khan,Garcia went through and that was recent... Wba and wbc.
That's funny.... Trout had the wba title.... Why can't he unify?
Ward was stripped too... But now he's champ again?
I thinks it's because the WBC like to think their belt is the most prestigious and the others are not good enough to be alongside it.
Yes thats what they THINK....in the end, well...read my sig
They dont like it because it's all about control. If a boxer has all the belts, Sillyman and the Crooks can't force his hand, whereas the if they only have the Crooks WBC belt and what is deemed a more "minor" belt, the chances are the prestige of the We Be Crooks belt might be enough to keep that person towing the line Sillyman and his clowns want.
Pure speculation, but it's likely to do with control and money....it usually is
Since he can't unify why fight "insert legit JMW champ here" when he can fight this much smaller guy for less risk and more money.
Sulaiman would pull some stupid shit like this.
Theres three other belts,Why havent they been unified?Why havent
other champions unified?
Thats a stupid reason.Canelo can fight whoever he wants.Its not
up to the wbc,Only goldenboy.

Title belts and rankings are no longer used to justify who a champion should fight as it is a way to NOT make a certain fight. It sucks but as long as championship status is what guarantees purse splits, fighters will continue to fight for these organizations.

they have interests that vary greatly from the other organizations
they all push separate agendas.
who cares?
there's a lineal champion in many of the divisions now. you've got champs who beat the champ, and champs that are crowed when the top two guys fight for a vacant championship
you used to be able to use ring mag's belt
it's a bit more of a bargaining tool than it used to be, considering that goldenboy owns it.
