I thought the WBO was a result of internal dispute in the WBA - with some members abandoning the Venezuela gang and reforming themselves in Puerto Rico.
Someone please correct me if I got this wrong.Comment

Something like that if I remember correctly.
Funny the IBO started the same year. neither get the respect of the other 3, but as I've said, alphabet titles are meaningless unless unified or held by a lineal champion. If the werent than we would have to be expected to call every alphabet Titlist a world champion. In my opinion it's all or nothing. You can't pick and chose which Titlist you want to call world champion while ignoring the rest.Last edited by JAB5239; 10-15-2021, 08:19 PM.Comment

So...Im going to start a new Boxing organization. It already has a champion...the fighting meany McQueenie. You pay fees, maybe Ill piss test ya before you get in the ring with the fighting Queen bee. So there you go... guys another alphabet soup to add to the mix! It it all works out? In ten years we can be arguing if my organization is legit, or not!
Enter the ring against the so called "fighting Queen" if you dare! He don't get that name "Meany McQueenie" for nuthin! Im trying to get Valuev out of retirement for our Heavyweight division... Wilt the Stilt was our previous champion. Billy Martin had the light weight title, now ive got the fighting Queen...Last edited by billeau2; 10-15-2021, 08:54 PM.Comment

I wonder how realistic it would be to start our own scantioning body.-- 10 members putting in 20k each for 200 grand start up - keep a very low overhead and try to find just one good fighter - work out a relationship with one of the lesser cable networks (ESPN 2) and build from there.
We would need an upfront guy with much personality but who wouldn't actually need any real credentials, e.g. a Jake Paul type ******, and just one good fighter to build off of, and then start to sign (recognize) fighters as we start to ID champions.
The Internet would be a cheap manner to get the message out, using blogging, YouTube, and social media outlets.
How to get noticed via separation: We could build a (bogus) sense of legitimacy by only recognizing the original eight weight classes (cost efficient) and selling ourselves as the alertative to the corrupt bodies who have destroyed the fight game with their greedy over expansion. (Not that we wouldn't ourselves be just that, but if there is anything to be learned from Donald Trump, saying something loud and often enough will get people to believe you.)
We won't get rich for a while but if marketed correctly our willingness to take out just enough to make a good living off the proceeds, but not get greedy rich, would make us appear (for a while) as a desirable, honest alternative to the current bandits.
Then once established we could start robbing everyone, fighters media, fans, blind, like we are suspose to.
P.S. If we are to do this, first burn this text.
