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

[P to the J]

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.

Right in. Not to mention how much access promoters and boxers have to these orgs to lobby them about their place in the rankings. And this is supposedly ok. Imagine that in ANY other sport

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.

Dre would have fought GGG at 160 HBO didn't want to end the hype train and Kov was the Boogeyman when Ward beat him twice. Social media wasn't what it is today and Dre doesn't play the bad guy that could have something to do with it

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.

I’m not sure how to respond to that. I’m a little in shock right now. It doesn’t look like this will need anywhere but just senseless arguing.

Even if all of that was true, doesn't change the fact Ward didn't understand the business. Which he's basically admitting by saying he doesn't know what the orgs do.

Dude! Do you really need someone to flat out say what is obvious and implied?
He’s saying the same thing.

No, he's saying something completely different. The thread was about an undisputed champion having to pay so many separate sanctioning fees.

Mayweather complained about the WBA having three different world champions in the same division, watering down the meaning of being a world champion. Completely different.

You are correct. However Floyd also stated, “You guys are just taking money from all these fighters, getting money from sanctioning fees.”

Alphabet groups serve absolutely no purpose to the sport. F them!
