A question about the WBC franchise belt

[DaNeutral.]

Can somebody plz provide me with a link to the WBC website page that describes the meaning and merit of the Franchise belt.

I've looked and looked all over the Internet and there is nothing about it being won in the ring, exchanged between winner and loser. Every article, every explanation just states that the WBC bestow this thing as an honoury designation.

I can't find anything that states it as an actual WORLD TITLE.

Info:
6 Franchise Boxer. The Franchise Boxer is a special designation and status which the WBC may bestow to a current WBC World Champion, who is also an elite boxer, and who has achieved and maintains the highest of statures in the sport. In its discretion, the WBC may, upon a 2/3rd vote of the Board of Governors, designate in each weight category one WBC Franchise Boxer. A Franchise Boxer shall enjoy special status with respect to his or her mandatory obligations, holding multiple titles and competing for titles of other organizations, as the WBC Board of Governors, in its sole discretion, rules on a case-by-case basis.


My commentary:
Franchise is mentioned 4 times in the PDF. That's those 4 in that paragraph.


Let's do emeritus just to show how useless that entire paragraph was and how it doesn't actually say the Franchise is anything special because everything WBC that isn't normal or unter is just as special 2/3 vote and all that wank.


Info:
Champion Emeritus. In its discretion, the WBC may, upon a 2/3rd vote of the Board of
Governors, designate in each weight category one or more WBC Champions Emeritus. The
WBC may bestow the recognition of WBC Champion Emeritus upon a present or past
WBC World Champion of extraordinary prestige, reputation, stature, or everlasting legacy
in the sport. A WBC Champion Emeritus shall also be an Ambassador of Good Will on
behalf of the WBC.
A WBC Champion Emeritus shall be free to display and exhibit his special belt in any
social ceremony or sports event. The WBC Champion Emeritus recognition is the highest
of honors the WBC grants to any boxer, and cannot be lost or transferred to anyone inside
or outside the ring. Champion Emeritus recognition may be withdrawn only by the WBC
its sole discretion in the event that the WBC determines, in its sole discretion, that a holder
of that recognition has brought dishonor upon the WBC or the sport of boxing. A
Champion Emeritus may request an immediate challenge to a WBC World Champion in his
20
division without first boxing in an elimination contest, and if a mandatory challenger has
previously been designated, the WBC may pursuant to Rule 3.8 order that the Champion
Emeritus compete first for the title as an immediate mandatory challenger, but in any event,
only upon the prior written approval of such status by the affirmative vote of the WBC
Board of Governors, which may approve or deny such request in its sole discretion.


Me again:
Which is higher?

Franchise- has achieved and maintains the highest of statures in the sport.

Emeritus- is the highest of honors the WBC grants to any boxer

I mean, actually sounds like the oldman belt is higher, actually, but we all know Vitali isn't actually a current reigning champion is he?


Let us do another


Info:
Diamond Championship. The Diamond Championship is a special award and distinction which the WBC presents to the winner of an extraordinary fight between elite boxers. In its discretion, on such terms and conditions as it may impose, the WBC may recognize a WBC Diamond Champion of the World in each weight division. The WBC may award the Diamond Championship to recognize the most extraordinary and elite boxer in a division or as a special distinction, or may sanction a bout for the title as an extraordinary bout, under such terms and conditions as the WBC may designate in its sole discretion. Under extremely special circumstances, the WBC may in its discretion designate the Diamond Champion as supreme champion in the division. The Diamond Champion shall be subject only to such obligations, if any, in a case-by-case basis, to defend the title as the WBC may impose or permit in its sole discretion. The Diamond Champion may be permitted to voluntarily defend the Diamond Championship; however, a challenger may not win the Diamond Championship unless a special sanction has been granted by the WBC in its sole discretion. The WBC may also order the Diamond Champion to comply with all defense and other obligations applicable to WBC World Champions hereunder

Me:
Franchise- has achieved and maintains the highest of statures in the sport.

Emeritus- is the highest of honors the WBC grants to any boxer

Diamond- The WBC may award the Diamond Championship to recognize the most extraordinary and elite boxer in a division

So you got yer "acheived the highest", "honored the highest" and, "most elite boxer in the division"

Which is tops? I dunno, what day is it? Doesn't ****ing matter does it? Because tomorrow Sully will tell us something new that makes **** all sense and pretends like the WBC is a boxing dictator.

Is Rivas the lineal undisputed BW champion? Or a champion in a division that is itself in dispute? But the WBC says doe.

That's because the WBC has been making it up as they go along, but at this point it's definitely a world title. Teofimo went online and showed the official sanctioning certificates from the Lomachenko fight and it was sanctioned as a world title fight by the WBC for the "WBC Lightweight Franchise World Title."

[M312]

'The designation of franchise champion will allow him to comply with such priorities without putting his status of WBC world champion in jeopardy.'

'The franchise champion will enjoy the privilege of not engaging in mandatory matchups and holding multiple titles. This also allows the fighter to compete in cross-body title clashes regardless of the weight class.'

'It causes confusion. Of course, it causes confusion' - Mauricio Sualiman

Ignore this bogus belt.

[M312]

Some more goodies of this bogus belt:

The Franchise Champion designation is awarded exclusively by the World Boxing Council and considers the following mutual agreements between the WBC, the champion and his promoter
1. The Franchise Champion designation is exclusively by appointment of the WBC Board of Governors by a majority vote of the board.

2. This designation is not transferable and is exclusively to the fighter who receives such designation.

3. The Franchise Champion will be designated as WBC Emeritus Champion once he retires from boxing.

4. The Franchise Champion will proudly represent the WBC in every single fight as a reigning WBC champion, 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.

5. Franchise Champion agrees to participate in a minimum of two social responsibility events every year, organized and in conjunction with the WBC.

6. The WBC may recognize a WBC champion in the division or divisions where the Franchise champion currently competes. (Clearly stating that the other champion is the real champion i.e. Haney)

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.




I mean... So much BS. They haven't even stuck to the non transferable thing because they want the money from it!

Bogus.

Useless to us the fans but not to the WBC
Yes , it’s given away but afterwards you pay sanctioning fees
Kind of the same chit as the WBA did with it’s « super « status
