WBC CREATES NEW CHAMPIONSHIP BELT FOR 'CATCH WEIGHTS'!

Jose Sulaiman, President of the WBC, is announcing the institution of a new WBC green and gold belt to be called WBC Diamond Championship, a honorary championship exclusively for fights between elite boxers.


This new implementation has been voted in favor by the WBC Board of Governors based in an absolute unanimous voting, and will actively participate to keep boxing as great as ever with new and exciting formats for the fans.

Boxing is changing; it has a heavy influence from television and promoters are looking for highly interesting and passionate battles for the benefit of the boxing fans of the world.

The WBC believes that this belt will play a very important role in modern boxing, as the fights between elite boxers called “catch weight” fights, have not been a complete success, due to the fact that the advertising is only done for fans to know who is the best between two fighters and nothing is at stake, or a bout for a belt that has no reputation at all.

The WBC will propose that the promotion renders homage to the two greatest fighters of such division, as they will be showcased in the belt.

This WBC Diamond Belt is being manufactured using the same design as the traditional belt but the materials will include 18 karat gold fusion, 598 diamonds, 196 emeralds, 6 rubies and 150 swarowsky semi-precious stones.

Jose Sulaiman, finished stating that he is very proud of the step taken by the WBC, as it will be in benefit of improving boxing, in benefit of the boxing fans of the world, of promoters, television and everybody involved in the sport of boxing. (PR)

oh lordy lordy ... real boxing fans dont need a new fkin belt to make fights more exciting ... this is just a way for the wbc to make money from sanctioning fees (unless there is no fee like the ring belt) and for promoters to con casual fans into thinking they are buying a ppv to see a championship fight in catchweight contests where no titles are at stake.

How could there possibly be any way to rank catch weights to make their belt somewhat legit?

It says something about elite fighters only, so the P4P list could be the basis of rankings, why it is a catchweight in the first place.

gotta be a nice looking belt, have to admit, all those diamonds and stones and ****, i bet Mayweather would like to add that belt to his collection, 598 diamonds, 196 emeralds, 6 rubies and 150 swarowsky semi-precious stones

What a ***en joke! Gosh this sport really is taking a dumb. Un***en believable! More ***en sanctioning fees huh? Let me guess cotto and pac will fight for this belt? What a joke! Might as well add another ***en division to the millions that are already in place. The attempts bt the wbc to justify this is a slap to all boxing fans and an insult to our intelligence! Gosh I'm so ***en disgusted! And shame on these ***en fighters allowing this bull****!

We have got enough belts, fuck that... hopefully though even if its made people will just pay no notice to it like it doesn't exist...

[Spacey1991]

Do they even realize this **** doesn't help Boxing, in fact it effects it in a bad way!
