Comments Thread For: WBC Prez Says New Weight Division, 200-224, Will Be Called 'Bridger'

Another sanctioning fee for Suleman.

Little Bridger Walker saved his sister from a vicious dog attack and that inspired Morris Silly man to think "hey if I make a new division I get more sanctioning fees, yeyyy more money for me".

Of course as long as he names it after a little brave boy anybody who criticises him must be a horrible meany to question his honourable gesture.

What an awful thing to say! Anyone would imagine from your comment that Mauricio's a slimy, cynical, money grabbing cunt.... oh, wait..

Greed and corruption is the serious problem in the world.

It's time to draw a line and start fighting back.

Fully agree. It seems this lot of elite scumbags have got quite organised. Hopefully the rest of us can do the same.

I am actually OK with this (maybe not the name though). What needs to be sorted out are the lower weight categories. There is one every 2-3 kg. Why should HWs take on opponents who are 25Kg heavier but small weight classes change at 1.5Kg? This is ridiculous which is why I don't really give a damn about those lower weight classes.

Olympic style weights make much more sense.

Great gesture though, respects to Bridger Walker he's a Hero

Yes, happy he wasnt eaten. That being said, what the **** has he got to do with boxing, Christ. It is like the sport just goes out of the way to degrade itself.

[BigJoe999]

Sorry, I thought it was a bear. So he isnt as heroic.

We need less divisions in boxing not more

Dear friends, I'm Mario Salomone, from the italian boxing website boxe-mania.com. Since boxing fans are protesting all over the world against the introduction of the bridgerweight division and since we are all sick of these senseless reforms made by the main boxing organizations that are lowering the credibility of the sport, I would like to make our voice count. I have just launched a petition on the famous platform change.org in order to collect the negative opinions of the fans and give a strong signal to Mauricio Sulaiman and to the World Boxing Council. Now I need your help to make the number of signatures grow. If you believe, as I do, that this changement is just another strategy to collect more sanctioning fees and that it could be harmful for boxing, please sign the petition and share it with your friends and relatives. Thanks!

Here is the english version of the petition: http://chng.it/QgmW2cGp

WBC trying to innovate and gain. I liked the idea of belts for trainers but **** this new weight class. More divisions, more money for them as a sanction...

Gotta do what you gotta do to earn the money, but I am not interested.
