Comments Thread For: Benavidez-Gvozdyk For The WBC Interim Light Heavyweight Title Would Be A 'Slap In The Face'

[GhostofDempsey]

WBC proving once again they are the most corrupt, greedy and irrelevant sanctioning bodies in boxing.

If a woman is due to give birth to baby Billy on June the 1st, there's no need to draw a picture of a baby boy on May 15th and call it "interim Billy". I agree with Mr. Scully...

Surprised no one else noticed this nice example of corruption.
Simple. Benavidez is a PBC guy, and WBC, WBA and IBF are all in PBC's pocket. Yes, in that order.

It's not just that though, WBC has been Canelo's biggest ball garglers for a decade now. Whoricio Suliman acts like he's Canelo's promoter FFS.

Jose Sulaiman is turning in his grave with what this fat POS is doing with the once great WBC....

Jose was just as big a corrupt whore as his son is, he was just less obvious about it. He'd do anything for Don King.

Sanctioning bodies , the Vampires of boxing. I don't pay any attention to their ****** belts. I know who the best in each weight class is. If any belt has even a tiny bit of legitimacy, it's the Ring belt.

Where do you think that junior learned to be a scumbag ? There was never anything great about the WBC , or any of these alphabet clowns. They've always been for sale.

[ICEMAN JOHN SCULLY]

Me too. I think you should order legal proceedings against the WBC if feasible. The mandatory was satisfied last month and Artur has a fight scheduled, there is zero justification for an 'interim' title at 175.

EXACTLY!!!!!!! It’s wrong!!

Back in the day the interim title usually meant the champion was hurt & could not make his obligated title defence. The 2 top contenders would then fight for the interim title with the winner getting first crack when the champion returned or would become full champion if the “Real” champion still couldn’t return in a reasonable amount of time. Then they would be champion in recess or emeritus & would be granted an immediate title shot once they were able to return. Now instead of an eliminator they call it an interim title fight just to get sanctioning fees. The champion is still active for *** sakes…

Exactly.

An interim title should only be used when the real champion is injured or is going to be out of action for an extended period of time.

Beterbiev just fought last month.

This is an obvious attempt to get more sanctioning fees. No different than the WBA with their bullsh-t “regular” champion.

Not just that, but he's even got his next fight signed too.

Yep.

There is zero need to have an interim champion under those circumstances. Other than to extract more sanctioning fees, of course.
