Why does Canelo have a mandatory if he's franchise champion?

Yes, his fanboys. I’m a fan of Canelo I don’t dispute that at all. Of course Canelo isn’t running to go fight David, why if he doesn’t have too? He can unify 68 without David and that’s not canelos fault it’s David’s for getting stripped...

Of course. Is anybody disputing that? Yes, his fanboys.

Which he wouldn't have done if David Benavidez was still champion. Of course. Is anybody disputing that?

Because Canelo asked to fight for the traditional world title at 168 and was willing to honor the responsibilities that come along with that. As Franchise champion, he could have fought at 168 as a WBC champion, but was willing to fight the mandatory and asked for the traditional world title to be on the line. Which he wouldn't have done if David Benavidez was still champion.

Wtf shit makes no sense.... Because Canelo asked to fight for the traditional world title at 168 and was willing to honor the responsibilities that come along with that. As Franchise champion, he could have fought at 168 as a WBC champion, but was willing to fight the mandatory and asked for the traditional world title to be on the line.

https://www.***************.net/2019/06/29/canelo-franchise-champion-explained/ (World Boxing News) IDK man, the whole thing is lacking clarity and anyway the WBC broke their own rules very quickly by making it transferable in Lopez vs Loma. However point 4 seems pretty unambiguous: Any opponent named by Canelo, at any weight class or under any circumstances, will be challenging him as WBC ‘Franchise’ (basically Overall) Champion. Also point 7 seems to indicate that in effect every fight he has is considered a mandatory... go figure.:thinking: They’re making it up as they go man. Basically any fight Canelo is willing to hook em up with money for

Here’s the wording. I had to find it for someone else. “The WBC may, upon a two-thirds vote of the board of governors, designate in each weight category one WBC franchise champion.” Just one per division, so it only applies to 135 and 160 respectively. https://wbcboxing.com/en/saul-canelo-alvarez-wbc-franchise-champion/ Forgot the link https://www.***************.net/2019/06/29/canelo-franchise-champion-explained/ (World Boxing News) According to the World Boxing Council, Canelo Alvarez is now recognized as the ‘Franchise’ champion of the organization. The WBC moved to elevated Canelo’s status on the back of his exceptional run of form in the sport. Canelo, the current WBN pound for pound number one, will gain certain privileges from his new-found position. Below, WBN has moved to explain each point of the WBC’s seven regarding the ‘Franchise’ ruler, in more detail. 1. The Franchise Champion designation is exclusively by appointment of the WBC Board of Governors by a majority vote of the board. Canelo was voted by the WBC as their main active fighter after similar were handed out to Floyd Mayweather and Vitali Klitschko in the past. 2. This designation is not transferable and is exclusive to the fighter who receives such designation. Canelo is unable to pass the honor to another fighter. 3. The Franchise Champion will be designated as WBC Emeritus Champion once he retires from boxing. Canelo will be in similar standing to Mayweather and Klitschko once he too hangs up his gloves. This effectively means he can challenge any champion at any weight if he wants to come out of retirement. 4. The Franchise Champion will proudly represent the WBC in every single fight as a reigning WBC champion. This is regardless of any specific conditions or titles being associated with all future fights. WBC rules and regulations will govern under the traditional conditions of boxing in the Franchise champion fights. WBC will approve through the franchise champion promoter every opponent scheduled to fight. Any opponent named by Canelo, at any weight class or under any circumstances, will be challenging him as WBC ‘Franchise’ (basically Overall) Champion. It’s not yet been made clear if this means sanctioning fees will be due for every bout. 5. Franchise Champion agrees to participate in a minimum of two social responsibility events every year, organized and in conjunction with the WBC. Canelo will effectively be an ambassador for the WBC into the bargain. 6. The WBC may recognize a WBC champion in the division or divisions where the Franchise champion currently competes. For example, if Canelo moves up to light-heavyweight and beats current title holder Oleksandr Gvozdyk, the WBC championship would then become vacant for another contender. 7. The WBC may award a Diamond Championship belt in those fights in which the Franchise Champion engages. If the Franchise Champion loses, the winner will receive the Diamond belt and may be considered as mandatory contender of the division. In essence, every fight in which Canelo competes will be a WBC mandatory fight. If Canelo wins there’s no change in his or the opponent’s status. Should the challenger win, he WILL NOT become Franchise champion. Instead will be the next in line for the other WBC champion of that division. IDK man, the whole thing is lacking clarity and anyway the WBC broke their own rules very quickly by making it transferable in Lopez vs Loma. However point 4 seems pretty unambiguous: Any opponent named by Canelo, at any weight class or under any circumstances, will be challenging him as WBC ‘Franchise’ (basically Overall) Champion. Also point 7 seems to indicate that in effect every fight he has is considered a mandatory... go figure.:thinking:

Better question, why is yildirim the mandatory? Guys a bum It's cuz Canelo told Suleman to make Yildirim his Mando, that's how the WBC works, Canelo is the boss

I'm on my phone right now and it's **** for doing searches, but I'm near as dammit 100% sure that the language attached to the franchise title meant that he was considered a WBC champion representing them in whichever division he fought in. That said it also wasn't supposed to be transferable in the ring, but they changes that rule quick sharp to give Teo a shot at it. Guess is that Maurice is just making it up as he goes along... Possibly he wanted to pre-emptively deflect any criticism that might come Canelos way by giving him the ol' mandatory excuse. Certainly wouldn't put it past him. :dunno: Hmm. Maybe the idea goes that the franchise **** ain't attached to a weight class but that it can be a designation that can run concurrent with other titles? So he is both franchise Champion at any weight he competes at and simultaneously 168 Champ with whatever obligations go with that title? :thinking: Here’s the wording.

Where was it said Canelo is the franchise champion of middleweight? ...because he was the WBC MIDDLEWEIGHT champion. The designation is to not have mandatories while youre jumping around in weight. Aka he doesnt have to worry about mandatories at 160. Not that he doesnt have to ever in diff divisions Yldrim was a mandatory to the full wbc before canelo ever held the 168 title, which is what theyre fighting over. It’d be pretty bull s hit for any division that Teo and Canelo were in if mandatories didnt exist and everyone who was in line just has to go f uck themselves lmao

More BS from that crook Sulaiman, Franchise is not a belt but a designation which means Canelo actually still is a franchise champion and shouldn’t have to fight Yildrim! Hearn can get Canelo this bs fight but refuses to make Golovkin vs Andrade or Saunders vs Andrade

Wtf shit makes no sense.... Hes not franchise at 168, only 160, and apparently hes no longer fighting/cant make that weight any longer

Well he can if there isn’t any other wbc champ but him right? I think...? :dunno:

But anyway Canelo has a WBC mandatory at 168 because he has the real WBC belt along with the franchise designation. Can't be undisputed with that franchise nonsense. Well he can if there isn’t any other wbc champ but him right?

super franchise champ will allow u to move up and down divisions, nelos next bday pressie Phucking hell, at this rate may as well make Canelo co-owner of the WBC phuck it... it seems that way anyway

super franchise champ will allow u to move up and down divisions, nelos next bday pressie

Franchise champion is set for a single division? You know they make it up as they go, right? hell, the way they originally described the "franchise belt" was the way that the Diamond Belt was originally supposed to be used.
