What was the deal with not showing Thurmans belt?

[The Big Dunn]

Thurman has removed 'WBA champion' from his twitter profile and changed it to just '147 pound world champion'...

If the belt is no longer emphasized then this makes sense. Saves whatever the sanctioning fee is and that's more money in the fighter's pockets.

... It's obvious that Al Haymon wants to start a war with the "sanctioning bodies"...

... nevertheless, Thurman vs Guerrero counted as a title bout -- for the WBA World welterweight belt (supervisor: Gilberto Jesus Mendoza)...

... The "sanctioning bodies" previously started talks about a unified world title -- as if they somehow knew that Al Haymon would challenge them with his giant stable...

At this stage, I think that the "sanctioning bodies" together with the other promotional bodies (Haymon excluded) would would look for a common ground...
