    What's with the WBA and PBC relationship? Are they getting paid off?

    Recently it seems like the WBA is really catering to PBC fighters especially and gifting them opportunities to fight for one of their fraudulent interim titles. Just so they can parade around and pretend to be world champion without actually beating one...

    Why do they do this? Is it a coincidence or are they getting paid off?

    First time I noticed was with the Davis-Cuellar scandal. The WBA decided to not make Machado their full champion even though he knocked out their 'super' champ in Corrales. Then all of the sudden Gervonta Davis got the opportunity to fight for the title instead Vs a fighter coming off a 2 year lay-off, a loss and coming up in weight from featherweight...
    They never even gave Machado an explanation why he wasn't the full champ. It smelled like corruption.

    And now im starting to see it more and more, especially in divisions where the Rival promoters have the champs signed to them.

    For example, Marcus Browne getting a shot at that WBA interim, just lost it to Pascal. That's a division dominated by Top Rank.

    Another example is Easter suddenly getting the opportunity to fight for the WBA interim title Vs Barthelemy. Made no sense to order that fight. But again this is a division dominated by Rival promoters.
    Again, this backfired.

    Now we have Lara fighting Ramon Alvarez for the WBA interim title in a joke fight. Castano held that title, wtf happened? And how is Ramon Alvarez getting the opportunity to fight for that title...

    Brandon Figueroa suddenly also has that title I saw.

    It seems like it's an easy cop out for the PBC to avoid making fights happen with other promoters and still let their fighters be champ.
    Is the WBA getting controlled by money from the networks? Are they corrupt? I think so...what do you think?

    It's because the PBC has so many titles. The WBA do this for anybody. Eddie Hearn has a good relationship with Mendoza also.

            The Davis WBA situation was a disgrace. Machado was the real champion and then now Cancio should be the real champion instead that is given to Davis. SMFH!
