WBC Franchise Champion

[Toffee]

Was supposed to be a lifetime designation.

Does Loma have it still? Does Lopez? Does Kambosos now have it?

Do all three?

[buddyr]

it goes wherever Suliaman can get fees for a fight. If I could make him money, he'd make me a franchise champion too

They need to kill that belt. Literally doesn't mean shit.

Just saw the WBC have posted a picture of Kambosos with a WBC belt and calling him undisputed.

I'm baffled. Is he franchise champion now? Or are they recognising him as their champion - which he would be if they hadn't stripped Loma in favour of franchise.

They really messed up this division.

Exactly. I’ve seen several Mauricio interviews on the subject and he himself can’t even explain it the greedy bastard. Lol

Franchise was created to avoid having Canelo blackball the WBC again.

Now that the WBC and Canelo are besties, it's time to get rid of the Franchise title.

It was announced that the Franchise was on the line.

WHY it was on the line - nobody knows. But it was.


George 'CM Punk' Kambosos is your new WBC Franchise Champion.

So basically the lifetime designation has been stripped from both Loma and Lopez. After one defeat.

And a designation that was almost defendable in the way it was announced is just another trinket that screwed up the division.

It’s become a championship, like the WBA Super
WBC leaving their slimy nasty stain on the sport as always with their new ‘innovations’ - bridgerweight, franchise champion, overruling drug testing agencies etc
