Floyd only fighting for WBC???

Technically those belts would still be considered world champsionships, even if PBF becomes the true champ.

Technically yes, but I don't think they'll be worth anything since the winner of this fight will become the real champ. Belts don't mean anything in this fight IMO.

What will WBA and IBF belts be worth if Judah loses to PBF? Absolutely nothing.

the same as before the fight...nothing. you're an idiot if you put any worth into holding any of the belts.

While the titles hold no significant meaning, they do ensure high % purse split agaisnt mandatory challengers. IE Money.

The fighters don't seem to feel that way. To most fighters the belts mean something.

i was hopeing it would have helped zab more. any update on zab/floyd purse. last i read it was 3.5 to 9 floyd. i wonder if that includes ppv,cable rights,etc.
i hope this comes back to bite floyd on the ass.

It is 100% because of sanctioning fees, nothing else. This match is only being sanctioned by the WBC as a title fight. That means both fighters only pay the WBC 3% of their purses instead of 9% to all 3 sanctioning bodies. Someone said it is 9 million to 3.5, so that's 12.5 million. 3% of 12.5 million = 375,000. 9% would be 1,125,000, or three times as much. It is completely economic.

If Judah loses, which isn't happening, he won't be considered the champ by anybody really.

Fighters make belts not the other way around.

i said this in my post? dam no one listens to me

Another issue is that assuming Floyd wins a reasonably competitive bout (ie not Mayweather-Gatti part II), Judah can use the other two titles as hook to secure a reasonable purse share in the rematch though obviously he would get less than he gotthe first time around

Pretty Boy Floyd only needs the WBC to become a 4-division champ.
