I don't get it....

Will someone remind me why we still have sanctioning bodies? I'm sure any promoter or network can come up with an event to confirm a linear or "RING" champ.

Sorry, just read the Bradley WBC strip because Showtime was not interested in a fight between him and his mandatory and just wanted to gripe.

Let's have one champ per division... PLEASE!

Fans say this all the time, but nothin we can do about it. Sanctioning bodies ain't goin nowhere til more fighters **** on em and focus on the ring belt.

There was, man. There was. Back in the days. The problem with one belt back then, it was easily controlled by organized crime. That's how the sanctioning bodies came to be to have control over their own fighters.
