WBA President Gilberto Jesus Mendoza explained. We currently have three world champions,” he said, Tyson Fury as the Super Champion, Ruslan Chagaev as the Regular Champion, and Luis Oritz as the Interim Champion. In order to have one champion like everybody is expecting from the WBA, and like everybody wants, we have set the following tournament.

but wait, there is more.....
"President of the World Boxing Association, Gilberto Mendoza Jr., while it was a relatively easy decision for his organization to rule the way it did, he added, “I found it a little bit unfair in the way the rule was written because the rule says specifically 75 (percent) for the ‘super champion’ and 25 for the champion. That will change because we have plans to only have one champion, while we will keep the concepts of the ‘interim’ and ‘super’ (champions). But we will try to avoid multiple (belts) and, honestly, it was kind of tough because, at some point, when you earn that ‘regular’ championship, you deserve a little better treatment than just a common challenger because 75 and 25 is for a regular challenger.”
Mendoza added, “So I think we have to work on it. I feel a little bit bad about it. I did address the championship committee with my concerns on that. If we have some kind of hierarchy between ‘super’, ‘regular’ and ‘interim,’ that would be a little bit more fair regarding that but, at the end, they were old-school and they kept it based on the rules."

No, he didn't. He didn't have to. He had the biggest cards, with the biggest purses, and therefore the biggest sanctioning fees. He financed their convention every year. He donated money to their annual budget, financed many of their charitable initiatives, etc. There was no need for him to pay cash for rankings like Arum was doing with the WBA. That's not how the WBC operated. They had a different business model. Their business model was to cozy up to the biggest stars so they could get the huge sanctioning fees instead of worrying about $500 bribes to rank a bantamweight.Comment

You're lying. Machado was never ever the super champion. The ratings from SIX MONTHS BEFORE the Davis-Cuellar fight clearly show Machado was world champion, not super champion.
