Comments Thread For: WBA Prez Admits It's Not Easy To Reduce The Number of Titles

[techliam]

this is what I've been continuing to say all this time. 39 champions in. 17 divisions WTF!!! honestly the IBF is my favorite belt. it has the best design, actually enforces its rules, and doesn't take extra money to step all over peoples toes!!

And they are the only sanctioning body that uses interim championships properly

Agree. It's super easy to get down to one champion. Create a 4 man tournament with all the WBA title holders & the #1 contender if needed. Within a year you'll have one belt per division outside of any injuries or postponements.

Its easy to do

It’s just not easy for the WBA to do. That’s what he’s really saying

Translation=It's not easy losing all that sanction fee money

Precisely. He's admitting in the most brazen way this this **** is business, not sport. So damn corrupt at every level.

But there's no financial motivation and boxers will obstruct it too. Look what happened when boxers do unify - they get stripped of a title within a few months. Sometimes straight away

Well for this specific issue then you just make a 2 man tournament if you gotta strip someone cuz they won't agree to terms. But yea I don't disagree there are a lot of side issues with this ABC bs.

Right on... it sucks to see one of the oldest sports in history being destroyed from the inside out.
