Comments Thread For: WBA Vows To Continue Plan To Reduce Number of World Titles

[Shadoww702]

Has nothing to do with giving them a pass. We personally would prefer to see every sanctioning body go bankrupt.

But that doesn't make it okay to lie about them. N'Dam's next fight was upgraded because that is how the WBA has been handling this all along. You get rid of the interim title first. You get rid of the super title last.

You gave them a pass by using EXCUSES!

All your sentences start or have "but" in them. Quit being ******.

Reality is reality whether you label it an excuse or not. The reality is that the WBA, in their effort to get to one world champion per division, has gone after the interim titles first and the super titles last. You are free to criticize this policy. We're not excusing the policy. We're just clarifying what the policy is. Don't confuse the posting of facts as an endorsement or personal support.

All your sentences start or have "but" in them. Quit being ******.

And all of your sentences have insults in them. Why not knock off the childish "******" and "dum dum" stuff and try to have a civil conversation like an intelligent adult?

If you don't like the WBA's policies, that's great. We don't like them either.

My bad I didnt mean it as a personal insult. I just dont like cheating and corruption.

They drop fighters who lose at different weights and other they get to keep their belts. Im sorry the WBA is the WORST of the big 4

WBA rules clearly state if you lose a fight in any weight class, you can lose your title unless the WBA sees fit to make an exception.

If the complaint is that the WBA plays favorites, of course they do. Every organization does.

Is the WBA the worst of the big 4? Well, worst in what way? Personally, we consider the WBO the worst because historically they've had the worst champions and challengers. If you consider the WBA the worst, that's fine. They're all horrible in their own way.

I take that back the WBO is the worst. They don't even require PED Testing. And I don't even know if they even have proper power in their building right now being based out of PR.

"The WBO stance (on drug testing) is to ensure we don't do anything which is duplication of or conflicting with the host commission" "The WBO doesn't have jurisdiction to a drug testing program"

Then WBA

Used to be
IBF
WBC

Now I would say

WBC
IBF (Best)

But ALL are corrupt GREEDY lil Bastards.

Did you read the article? They've reduced from 42 to 25 so far.

About half the divisions still have two WBA Champions. Some even have 3, if you want to throw interim titles in there.
They've been talking about removing Champions for years, but they're taking their sweet time.

UFC didn't have to overcome a century of sanctioning body control in order to convince the public that their titles were the true world titles of MMA.

UFC didn't have to replace a century of tradition of their sport being a worldwide free for all governed by gun for hire independent organizations.

If PBC can land a big FOX deal, perhaps in conjunction with UFC, while maintaining control of SHO as well, and if PBC can convince FOX & SHO to only recognize PBC champions, within a few years, the sanctioning bodies could be severely crippled in the US. But the risk is that you hand dozens of world titles to ESPN & HBO on a silver platter and if the public rejects the new titles, you're beefing up ESPN & HBO's line up. Right now, ESPN is just WBO land, while HBO has to take the scraps of whatever WBO Arum doesn't control and whatever WBC/WBA/IBF Haymon doesn't control.

Don't see Haymon pulling the trigger on PBC titles until HBO pulls out of the sport. Right now, it's to his benefit to continue to slowly accumulate as many WBC/WBA/IBF titles as possible. He knows Arum has a monopoly on the WBO, so it means HBO eventually will have nothing except for the tiny weight classes Haymon & Arum ignore.

Bruh don't give me an damn outline. Just a agree or disagree with my statement. We both know it will never happen. It's just an wish. That's one reason why boxing is dying. I don't care who holds what. Just let the best fight the best. But with these belts, it gets in the way of making the best fights. Then if it's not that it's the promoters or tv networks. People in PBC barley even fight each other at the top level. Who's Danny fighting? An washed up Rois? Smdh

Oh sorry. Thought this was a forum for discussion.

It is, but don't waste our time with a pointless discussion. Boxing is boxing nothing will change lol. Let's see what Dana white can do to boxing when he enters maybe he and PBC could shake it up. HBO and showtime boxing could be on the slide.
