PBC has the biggest stable. They need to drop the ABC belts and make their own PBC Belt and make PBC a stand alone league.
Boxing fans need to accept reality.

I don't think anyone has missed this, we just don't give a ****. I certainly do not give a ****. It's just an excuse.
These kids want to act like ******* and talk about their promoters or broadcasters protection then we should just call them ******* until they fight one another.Comment

Did I? News to me.
Pretty sure I said I'm waiting for the results.
See I deliberately try to avoid double standards unlike you bozo's that go full steam ahead and make yourselves look like numptys.

That isn’t avoiding a double standard, that is not calling your countryman out hoping the ukad would do what suiliman did for canelo.Comment

The fighters are not owned by the broadcasting companies, Deontay Wilder if he wanted to? Could fight anywhere he wanted.Comment

It's the same reason I don't take Crawford seriously. Like Bradley, he chose to hide behind Top Rank/the WBO, while all the other top fighters in the division were on the other side of the street.
When the roles were reversed, and HBO had a monopoly on middleweight, Danny Jacobs crossed the street because that's where the action was at middleweight. Crawford has nobody to blame but himself for his situation.
I agree...
It's not that you should rate a fighter higher or lower based on which title they hold, it's that we've historically seen that certain organizations have a better caliber of fighters. The WBC is the most valuable belt, so it's the belt that has the most top fighters going after it. If you're with Warren or Arum, of course you go for the WBO and if you're a great fighter, you're not any less great because you hold the WBO, but you will likely be facing weaker competition.
no, I STRONGLY disagree... that is flawed logic
1) FACT: the WBC are not definitive... in plenty of divisions, they do not rank the top fighter
2) who cares what happened in the past?... how on earth does, the WBC appointing the correct guy 80 years ago... automatically mean that they will appoint the best guy today?
and the IBF are fkn awful, their rankings are truly dreadful... I think you are pushing shlt uphill with a pointed stick by trying to indicate that they are better than the WBO
I care not about any of them, because NONE of them are definitive... the WBC are likely running about 50%... which is not great at all... if they were anything close to what you say, they would be 100% or very close PERMANENTLY... that is, IF you were to allow exceptions... otherwise they would be 100% period
you are making that assumption/argument simply because you like the WBC... but there is nothing to indicate that anyone else should feel the same way
it is extremely rare for fans to fall in love with a sanctioning body... or heaven forbid, a promoter/network... I have been following this sport for DECADES, and I had never encountered that behavior until the Pacquiao era... fans used to know the difference between a vulture and a fighterComment

I have always wondered why different promotional companies don't do "trades" by allowing their fighters to appear on each other's platforms and vice versa for a fee. For example, what if Demetrius Andrade was allowed to fight Jermall Charlo on PBC in exchange for say Jermell Charlo facing Jaime Munguia on DAZN. Or if Vasiliy Lomachenko was allowed to fight Gervonta Davis on PBC in exchange for Errol Spence Jr. fighting Terrence Crawford on ESPN.Comment
