The fighters won't be paying. The WBC makes these shitty belts for big fights to promote themselves. They make their money off the less popular fighters that needs titles to get media attention. The WBC wants to stay the most recognised. They even have rules for title holders about the belt being carried to the ring and being shown post fight.

No clue why people are shocked this is literally the 3-4th time in the last 3 months alone the WBC has created some bogus belt for non title fights. As if boxing needs more belts and more ways to confuse fans. DisgustingComment

WBC don't do this shyt for free it's because they getting paid whether they call it a sanction fee or they say the promoters paid for it (and take it out the fighters pockets).

Source? The WBC makes these crappy titles for free to get their brand all over the biggest fights. Just like they did with Canelo/Chavez. You think Canelo paid for a belt making he didn't want? They're basically sponsoring the fight but instead of paying money they give them a belt.Comment

Dan Rafael has an article about the ****** belt on the front page of ESPN. WBC saying the Floyd camp paid for this garbage. They don't make them for free they hit the fighters with a sanction or have the promoters pay for it. For Canelo they made the belt if he accepted it he or Golden Boy Promotions would of paid for it. But since he told them to phuk off they didn't get a dime.Source? The WBC makes these crappy titles for free to get their brand all over the biggest fights. Just like they did with Canelo/Chavez.

WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman showed the belt off at the final prefight news conference Wednesday at the MGM Grand and ran down its particulars. It is made of 1.5 kilograms (about 3.3 pounds) of gold, 3,360 diamonds, 600 sapphires, 160 emeralds and Italian crocodile leather. It reads "Money Belt" across the top and took three weeks to produce at a cost of more than $1 million.
Although the WBC is not charging a sanctioning fee for the belt, Mayweather Promotions agreed to pay the costs, Sulaiman said.
"The cost of the materials, the labor to make it, it is an expensive belt, and the winner of this big-money fight will deserve to have the Money Belt," Sulaiman said.Last edited by bigdunny1; 08-24-2017, 12:17 PM.Comment
