So if he didn’t pay the sanctioning fee for belts? Does that mean retroactively he never became champion at 154 or became undisputed at 168?
His platform is so big now that he can afford to make a move like that and public opinion will be on his side, but I don’t think really regular boxers without a following would even dare to pull that. If they did, they’d easily fall into sanctioning bodies’ bad graces.
Fortunately for Bud, he’s reached a level where he gives the belts prestige, not the other way around (similar to Canelo, Floyd or Pacquiao).
But playing devil’s advocate, if somebody wanted to be technical, they COULD say if he never paid the sanctioning fee, then he never was eligible to win it in competition when it was on the line.
Why is anybody surprised at Crawfish? Btw, has anyone spotted Turki the sanctioning body killer at the convention? Oh, and btw, Naz got on the wrong flight, he thought the WBC convention was in Saudi. How can you tell? He’s still wearing the same curtains he brought at Dollar Tree in Saudi.
