Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Cotto To Have WBC's Diamond Title at Stake

[big_james10]

What a crock of spit! I don't believe either one of these guys advisers called the WBC to request the opportunity to fight for a useless belt when they are already fighting for a championship belt. If a real boxing journalist followed up on this comment and called Mayweather or Cotto's advisers, they would tell that journalist that they know nothing about this. This is Sulamain's attempt to get a piece of a the sanctioning fee.

The WBC Diamond, WBC Silver, WBC champion emeritus and The WBA Super Championship needs to be cut out all together. It dont make sense and its one of the reason Boxing have a bad name

[frosty-g]

all of a sudden this fight just got OH SO much more exciting...

[Joey_Torreo]

The WBC's just trying to get a piece of the action. They dont like Floyd fighting for the WBA belt. This is like when your girlfriend knows it's over and at a last attempt for love she tells you she'll have a threesome with you and her best friend.

yup pretty this pretty much sums it up. i though the wba was bad for having 'regular' and 'super' belts but i had forgotten how many belts the wbc has its plain idiotic

[olly1990]

this is funny

golden boy and the wbc will of done this so the winner of the cotto vs mayweather fight will get ordered to take on canelo next.

But why?

Im honestly not sure what a diamond belt it

Does it make the winner of this fight a WBC worlds champ? are there sanction fees?

In September 2009, the WBC created its new "Diamond Championship" belt. This belt was created as an honorary championship exclusively to award the winner of a historic fight between two high-profile boxers. The inaugural Diamond Belt was awarded on November 14, 2009 to Manny Pacquiao who won his seventh world title (in seven different divisions) via 12th round technical knockout over Miguel Ángel Cotto at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.

No sanctioning fee.

More of a trophy than a belt.

[bojangles1987]

Lol at the WBC.

[danktrees]

definitely cannot miss this fight now. wayyyyy too much at stake.

[talip bin osman]

of course, expect these organizations to cash in on both fighter's ability to generate cash... specially PBF...

Way to go Sulaiman! You managed to make a mockery of a historic sport and all of it's traditions yet again. Where would boxing be without you?
