Comments Thread For: Spence: We Give 3 Percent To These [Sanctioning] Organizations; What Are They Doing With It?

[MulaKO]

Happy to see Spence bringing this up
He’s absolutely right for stating the truth without getting into it to much , so to say
Heard some rumours that the Saudi’s were trying to set up some kind of boxing sanction , while putting the orgs out of business
Not sure if this is the right way but at least we all know they don’t need the cash meaning they would probably put the money to good use ( helping boxers etc etc )

[just the facts]

They do nothing but name you a supposed champ with a cheap trinket.

Are you claiming Spence hasn’t earned those belts?

[Noelanthony]

It would have been better if he committed to it. He was just mumbling over himself like a buffoon. Looked like a kindergardners first play and add to the fact he put the belts on. Smfh great message

Yeah alright pal. How many years have you threatened to leave your Job at McDonald’s but you are still there? Basically what you are saying is if he put all the belts in the trash his message would have hit home more?

To answer Spence's question, the organizations are spending that 3% on **********s like Andy Ruiz.

[Nightfall]

They are helping retired broke fighters with their health issues

I feel like this is a ****** question by Errol Spence. Does he actually expect the belt org exployees to just not get paid? Work for free?

Of course it goes to their pockets.

There is also the fact that, for example, the wbc pays vada for yearly random blood testing for all of their champions and ranked fighters.

How much does Spence think that costs?

Huge Spence fan but this is ******, and greedy.

Also, no one forcing the belts on you. You have the option to vacate the belt. But here you are holding all those three belts and trying to get a fourth.

It's good promotion having a belt huh? Increased your market value and gets you paid more.

But you wana complain about that 3 percent?

Wana get free promotion?

Sigh....there is such a thing as being too woke.

As Spence wondered where that 3% goes, Sulaiman was flushing a turd in his golden toilet.

[Butt stuff]

Needs to be a Worldwide Organization as titleholders are from different countries, but the idea of only one organization is what counts.

I just don’t think worldwide is possible yet, if they had a strong American org they could expand later with other counties signing on. The main thing is the big 4 belts tend to centre themselves around the USA because that’s where most of the money is. You take most of the money with you then the others should follow.

[Willy Wanker]

Spence better watch out.

If he speaks too much about this, the sanctioning bodies will use that 3% to pay off the judges to insure that Crawford walks away with all the belts.

The alphabet orgs are a rort - no doubt about it. Essentially a mostly-legal mafia.

While they at the root of the issue, promoters have a huge part to play in this mess too. They've allowed themselves to be influenced by these people, aligning themselves with whoever can promise the most. They're basically politicians who are really, really bad at politics.

Fortunately, the boxing world is waking up to the fact that these titles are just props - the most important thing is the fights, and when promoters work together to bring these fights, their fighters will prosper and the alphabet soup loses power.
