Comments Thread For: Reports: Canelo Rejects WBC's Cinco De Mayo Title

[Verus]

In all seriousness they should just give that belt to Floyd as a gift. Beat every Mexican. Cinco De Mayweather. He's made the WBC look crisp for so long, might as well.

If Cinco de Mayo is Cinco de Mayweather, would that make the 16th of September Mayweather Independence Day?

But why? It's a beautiful belt.

Yes that wbc piñata belt is a joke but I'm confused as to why Canelo has hard feelings towards the wbc. His first world title was a gift from them to allow him to become youngest 154 pound champion ever by allowing him to face an unranked welterweight. Now all of a sudden because they wanted him to face ggg, something he knew would happen the sec he agreed to fight cotto, he wants to be petty?

but instead him and Oscar were upset at cotto for not paying the sanctioning fees and said it was an insult to boxing. Interesting how their minds have changed.

You're the only one here who seems to understand what's going on. I'm surprised so many GGG fans are in here praising Canelo for telling the WBC to F-off because they mandated him to fight GGG.

The WBC should've made a trophy instead of a belt. People are repulsed at the idea of more belts. This is basically a trophy for winning a rivalry game like they have in college football. These sanctioning orgs are so tone deaf when it comes to the fans. We scream and scream for less belts and they turn around and make more. Nobody would be complaining if they came out with a trophy to present to the winner every year

It's all about the $$ 4the belt... I saw a photo of it a collage of colors is not really what you would call an attractive-looking Championship belt...

And why is the wbc awarding anything in this fight? , theres plenty of fights out there and they dont give a crap wont even send a chocolate medal, no one ask them to stick their nose in canelos event, if anything should be the wbo who are now closer to canelo... but there is no need for any of that, this fight doesnt need it...

WBC kissing Canelo's ass and created a belt for him... lol
(He str8 told him to succ a dicc)

That said... That belt was BA, The creation of the trophy took a lot of work.

What a fucking boss.

Sounds like someone assumed this would smooth things over with Cinnamon. They should know that bitches hold grudges.

[mbase1235]

Did the wbc really expect a sanctioning fee for a belt they made up?

Why not? In reality all the belts, as well as the organizations that created them are "made up".

They all create their own rules all the time, and break them whenever they want. This is a little more extreme, but still continues the same practice of making up s**t on the fly to make money.
