    once a division is unified?

    does that mean all the alphabet orginizations, become 1... so for instance if wlad unfies.. do all the alphabets cease to exist.. and then there will only be 1 orginization...

    No. They are still separate. Any of ABC organizations can demote a champion and have an eliminator to have a new champion.

        No, I wish though.

        Besides, when a fighter unifies, the IBF will usually strip them for not fighting some obscure mandatory.

        And the WBA will declare the fighter Super Champion and hold other matches for a vacant WBA regular champ and name another random fighter WBA interim champ.

        And Sulaiman will let a fighter keep the WBC title only if they are big draws that bring a lot of money in, or if he likes them for some reason.

        I'm not exaggerating.

                Some organizations work with the other scumbags and some take it as a sign of disrespect.

                So, let's say that boxer A and boxer B are unifying the division. If boxer A has the WBC belt, but the fight is for the IBF and/or WBA belts and boxer A loses, then the WBC belt is declared vacant. Even though it's not on the line. At least, that's according to their "rules".

                At the same time, some organizations actually have unified champions that allows for different sets of rules when a champion was more than one championship in the division.

                Basically, **** unification bouts. Ring Magazine belt or nothing.
