WBC and WBA both facilitating the Canelo Protection Program

They let Canelo unify the WBA Regular 154 belt with the WBC belt. Then he lost his challenge to Super Champion Floyd Mayweather.
There was already literal tons of empirical evidence that the WBA/C are corrupt beyond repair.
Both are famous for not following their own rules.
The WBA regular belt is a classic example. For most of its existence, it was essentially purgatory, as the Regular champ wasn't originally entitled to a shot at the real champ, and couldn't unify with the champs from other organizations because it's a secondary belt. It's only good for the Tank Davis types who want to pretend they're world champs but never actually have to fight top competition.
It's disappointing that Morrell is going to end up in the same position in the 175 lb division if he wins, although at least when the new undisputed champ vacates and moves up, he'll hopefully be the sole WBA champ finally. Then maybe he'll get the real belt after defending the email one.
But it's pretty obvious after 3 years that the WBA isn't going to order their mandatory v Canelo.
So the special treatment for Canelo isn't new.Comment
