Did Mauricio Sulaiman really say that Teofimo isn’t the real WBC champion?

Anyone know if this is true?

I think Max Kellerman explained this perfectly well. These “super” or “franchise” titles were created so that fighters with multiple belts don’t get stripped because they cannot fight every mandatory in each organization. It becomes almost impossible for them to meet these obligations. The WBA super belt requires the champ to fight anyone in the top 10 of any organization. I don’t know if that’s the same for the WBC franchise though, but the intention behind it is similar to the WBA super belt. Just proves what everyone already knows...all the belts and designations are just ridiculous. However if these fighters actually fought more than once and in a good year twice they might actually be able to make the mandatories. Of course its not all their fault the sanctioning bodies and their rankings are beyond stupid as well

Who did Haney beat to win the WBC?

Max Kellerman is wrong. What he's saying doesn't make sense on multiple levels. Just wanted to say that before leaving the thread.

Nope. All of their BS is a non-starter with me. It's only for the almighty money, and they make the rules as they go along. To reply to all your points would need at least 2-page essay. Those crooks aren't worth my time. They should get rid of it completely and pronto. Thanks for the chat, bro. This whole thing is a mess, but thanks for replying.

He said the intention behind the belt was so fighters that have multiple belts don’t need to fight mandatories. The intention was for the champ to gather other belts in other organizations or in other weight classes without getting stripped for not fighting a mandatory. The franchise belt is the reason why Loma was able to aim for the IBF champion instead of fighting Haney, and it made it easier for him to fight for undisputed status. Remember Sergio Martinez was stripped by having the WBC 154 and 160 title? If he was franchise champion, he would not have been stripped. The franchise belt cannot be transferred, but the champion can petition for it. The WBC voted that if Teo beat Loma, he were to become the franchise champion. The title was earned because he was only able to get it by beating Loma after his request was approved. I’m not trying to debate about the WBC franchise vs the regular belt. I just want to know if anyone knows if Mauricio Sulaiman really made this claim or if Blue Blood sports is on a bias trip again. Nope. All of their BS is a non-starter with me.

Well between the WBA Super and WBA Regular champions, it's the WBA Regular champion that typically has the mandatories. In boxing, nothing is as it seems. It's amazing all of us diehards care so much about the belts. We're really the ones that keep that BS alive. It obviously ain't the casuals. I think Max Kellerman explained this perfectly well.

It's not like the "super," although he tried to turn it into one mid-point, and failed miserably at that. That's why he's in this mess. Franchise has no mandatories and can't be won or lost in the ring, as originally conceived. If even the honorary part was true, Loma shouldn't have lost it. They don't know what they are doing.

I thought the franchise belt was like the WBA super belt, where the champion does not have mandatories, but should be fighting ranked fighters in the top 10 of any boxing organization. I just want to know if Mauricio Sulaiman really said that Teo isn’t the real champion because last month he said Teofimo was in fact undisputed and that the WBC franchise is the superior belt.

If the shameless crook said that, it means he's coming to his senses. How can a non-titlist have 2 mandatories while Lopez doesn't need to defend that garbage trinket? I know who the real WBC titlist is, and it ain't Lopez. The title he has is a made up POS. Now I need to go to the toilet to puke for even mentioning belts.

If Teofimo is the real champion why is Devin Haney the one having to do all the mandatories? :thinking: Right man. I just posted a similar thing. They have no shame.

He's not the real champ tho Haney is
