Comments Thread For: WBC Prez Explains Flexibility Canelo Has as Franchise Champion

[Monty Fisto]

"That is one of the purposes of the Franchise Champion. To allow him to go into the best challenges possible. He moved up to 175 and knocked out Kovalev. He might fight at 168 or 160."

So he couldn't have moved up to 175 and knocked out Kovalev, and he can't fight at 168 or 160, without the Franchise title?

Why not?

Sulaiman's statement explains absolutely nothing.

I agree. Sulaiman's 'explanation' is as clear as mud.

So is the WBC franchise champion the champion or what?

WBC? What new belt are they making this time?

[TonyGe]

If Canelo loses does he keep the Franchise Champion tag?

No he can't lose the title in the ring unbelievable as it sounds.

[Green Trees]

He deserves it. He is the face of Boxing without him we would all be talking about GGG/Lemieux trilogy and circle jerking over a Spence/Crawford fight that's never going to happen.

What he meant to say was, with the money canelo brings in we wanted to make sure we attached ourselves to that for as long as possible, plus we can collect money off of Charlo for his version of the WBC belt. Now no matter what weight class canelo fights at we collect sanctioning fees. Extra sanctioning fees equals private jet, a new yacht, a pay raise, or maybe just some extra money in his offshore accounts. And before anybody says anything about Loma, I don't agree with him having this bogus belt either. This isn't a bash on canelo, I'm bashing the WBC for creating this monstrosity. It's bad enough with regular, world, super, interim, gold, diamond and silver belts. Now there's franchise too, which is obviously just a money grab.... Smh

It's all about the money, nothing else.
