Comments Thread For: Haney on Paying Sanctioning Fees as Potential Undisputed Champion

[Outwest Exp 355]

ABC boxing orgs are corrupt. The very payment system they use creates a huge conflict of interest and is unethical. ABC organizations take in payment as a percentage of the purse. The purses are generated by popularity of the fighters, NOT their skill level. The ABC organizations set the rankings of the fighters, supposedly based on achievement and talent but they their payment system incentivizes them to scout for fighters whom will generate the highest purses or to make exceptions to their own rules for any existing champs who are ultra popular like a Canelo. The guys making these decisions get their pay generated from the percentages of the purses. They cannot be trusted to be unbiased.

TLDR, the entire thing is a joke and highly biased and unethical.


This is why we end up with all the ****** diamond belts, champion emeritus, super duper belts, super omega platinum belts ect. Its the ABC executives looking out for themselves making sure they always have a way to throw a high revenue generator into the mix for their belts to get their cut.

It’s worse than that. They’re not just taxing the champions/big dogs. They’re taxing the little guys too. All theses title eliminators and interm title fights, anything that’s sanctioned by the alphabet belt organizations is getting there cut for sure.

When did Floyd speak out against the fees?

Ward has spoken out against the fees, but he never understood how to maximize revenue in the sport and was always busy climbing over dollars to pick up pennies.

———-
On 10/23/2020 Floyd spoke out against the sanctioning bodies and fees. Specifically how their value has been watered down.
Are you asking that question because you didn’t know or because you’re assuming Floyd never did?

You mean like calling out GGG but GGG was being protected and then beating the best LHW at the time not once but twice on top a Super 6.

I hate these "fans" of boxing

Mayweather: There's Too Many Belts; WBC, WBA, IBF, WBO, My Company Must Clean This Sh-t Up

“I wanna say this right now about the sport of boxing, and I want everybody at home to hear me when I say this — a belt, I’m tired and [when] I’m at home – and this goes for any company. I don’t care if it’s Top Rank, if it’s Golden Boy [Promotions], if it’s Mayweather Promotions, if it’s PBC — there’s too many champions in the sport of boxing right now,” said Mayweather Jr. “Too many champions. It’s not a such thing as a super champion, not at all. And I’m not taking nothing away from no fighter. It’s too many belts.

“And the reason why it’s too [many belts], let me tell people what’s going on in the sport of boxing, why there’s so many different titles and so many different belts. People don’t know you have to pay, for every belt that you win, there’s a sanctioning fee. So now, if a fighter wins an interim belt, he has to pay a sanctioning fee. If a fighter has just the regular belt, he has to pay a sanctioning fee. Then, if a fighter is a super champion, then he has to pay a sanctioning fee. This is not good for the sport of boxing. Now, when a fighter fights, every fighter is a champion now. Belts now is like a fighter winning an amateur trophy. Everybody is a champion. Everybody have a belt.”

Thanks. Beat me to it.

Why are they crying? All those fees would be tax deductible so it's not like they are losing as much as they say from their pay checks.

I'm not a fan.

Your post makes no sense. Calling out GGG was silly since there was no chance of the fight happening. Kovalev wasn't the best light heavyweight and even if he was, it doesn't change the fact that Ward consistently misunderstood how to maximize his earnings.

That's Floyd complaining about the WBA having three versions of the world title so they can collect fees from three different fighters. That has nothing to do with whether it's worth it for one fighter to pay fees for multiple belts.

‘Mannix (half) jokingly suggested that Haney should dump the […] belt in the trash […]

“Oh my God, Chris,” Haney responded. “Oh my God. I would never do that.”’



Devin Haney wants you to know he would never do that
