    Irrelevant statements you are making there. I never claimed that WBC are saints or honest. I said their belts are more respectable than IBF, meaning WBC brand value is more than IBF. Boxers want the WBC belt more than IBF because it gives them more recognition...that is a fact.

    Answer the question I raised....Why is IBF struggling to find a final eliminator for their HW division? Shouldn't boxers be rushing for such an opportunity if IBF is more respectable?
    $ is why. Dont act like u dont know.

      Ruiz hasn't won an IBF eliminator and isn't in the top 2.

      IBF rules are clear in these circumstances, the guy who won the eliminator gets the lion's share.
      Meanwhile, back in the real world....

        The wba has how many belts per division? And is about to be under investigation.

        And how long ago was the ibf in that spotlight? Werent they acquitted?
        Keep up with the current picture and the corruption taking place now.
        There's a reason for every BS belt though. The Super exists because Lennox said it would be good for boxing, for example.

        Being acquitted on some charges does not equate to innocent. The IBF president was sentenced to two years prison time for racketeering and some other tosh. Arum got fined, the IBF got fined, the president was found guilty of felony charges. This is all much bigger corruption than 'but the WB's got so many belts though'

        I believe it was Foreman-Shultz and I'm pretty sure Arum paid 200k for it.

        The WBA is investigating internally. That's a whole different monkey, the FBI is not involved.

        Current? The IBF currently has just as ****ty a rating board as they ever had. Hence this starting with me pointing out they made Glazkov-Martin a title fight. They love Martin for some reason. ... wonder why?

          Ruiz has pulled out the purse bid for this apparently, so it's not happening

              Exactly...WBC has the more popular boxers willing to fight for its title because it is more respectable than the IBF. Respected belt => demand by popular boxers => more money fights => more respected belt. Yet, you deny that.
