IBF rips-off Donaire

[FIGHTING_FLIP]

can someone please explain what a sanctioning fee is and why do fighters have to pay in order for them to be champions? thats some bs

Not that I'm defending the IBF, but I wonder about the 42k figure. Did Donaire pay his sanctioning fee in the Mathebula fight? Maybe that's the fee for both the Mathebula fight and Nishioka fight and why he didn't get the belt. And is the price of the belt extra from the santioning fee? Sanctioning bodies don't have set fees. They charge a percentage of a fighter's purse. 42k of 750k(that's Donaire's purse) is 5.6% of the purse. If it is for both fights, then I believe 3% is supposed to be a normal percentage.

According to Suliaman, the only belt in play for the Nishioka fight was WBC diamond belt.

Now you know why they let Peterson keep his belt.

On a side-note, leading up to the fight there was no news that this fight was also for the RING magazine title; although it has lost some of its recognition lately it is still a title considered far more important than the ABC titles.

According to the latest RING ratings, Donaire is recognised as the RING champion.

Seems like he lost one paper belt (IBF) and gained another (WBC Diamond Belt) whilst also earning a far more important trinket (RING Magazine).

Far more important? The Ring lost credibility long ago, it's just as bad as the other bs titles.

It's all about the TBR title now.

The sanctioning bodies have no interest in having the best fighter as champion. They will strip champions as they wish even if the fighter never loses in the ring. They are a business and have no time for what is right and no concerns for legacy. Only money in the bank. About time the fans dumped them!

Far more important meaning that the ABC straps are in such misery compared to what remains of the Rings prestige. So yes, far more important.

I hope the TBR gains real traction and eventually helps clear alot of mess we are so used to seeing.

Very true, but along with the fans the networks need to avoid this over saturated problem of toy belts and stick to a true ratings board; ie the TBR.

Who's the IBF mandatory for Donaire? They don't have a #1 contender at 122
