    Comments Thread For: Arum: With Guys Like Canelo and Lomachenko, WBC Franchise Title Is Justified

    You can count Bob Arum among the few in favor of the World Boxing Council (WBC) practice of assigning "Franchise" champion status to its elite title claimants.

    I swear the WBC is like an abused woman that keeps returning to her abuser.

    1 day some1 is going to sue the brakes off this company or a Federal investigation will be done.

        Graciano Rocchigiani sued them in 2004 and nearly bankrupted them.

                  No the fk it isn't justified. No single boxer is bigger than the sport. The wbc shouldn't be giving guys free passes to avoid mandatories and be gifted a new made up title that they didn't earn and can't lose.
