I'm sure Sulaiman will love making money off Haney's belt, even-though he doesn't consider Haney the true titlist. I hate these sanctioning bodies and wish we could eradicate them. I think this is one thing that all Boxing fans would agree on. Everybody's favorite fighter is vulnerable to the whims of the ABC orgs.

The WBC has not had a clear champion at lightweight maybe since Adrien Broner beat Antonio Demarco in 2012.

A few years later, Jorge Linares was suppose to face Dejan Zlaticanin, due to a right-hand injury Linares was stripped and Zlaticanin was made full champ after beating sum jobbroni. Maurcio Sauliman, then made Linares 'champion in recess' and the WBC would sanction Anthony Crolla vs. Jorge Linares for a WBC 'Diamond' belt, and recognized said contest as a 'unification', whilst Zlaticanin was their official WBC lightweight champion.

That was a sign of things to come : then you had Mickey Garcia coming out of retirement to blast Dejan Zlaticanin for the WBC 135 strap, at the same time Jorge Linares had beat Anthony Crolla for the WBA and claimed the WBC lightweight 'Diamond' championship -- its like what is going on with Lopez-Haney at the moment.

The WBC kept promising the public that they would order Linares vs. Garcia, but Mickey had other plans and left the division.

So Sauliman is true to his word in this article, he is helping boxers make a lot of money, by fabricating world-championship matches, and obliviously helping himself in the progress. Mauricio clearly gives his reasons for diluting and devaluing world-titles, he is just helping poor kids become millionaires, like Devin Haney.

Lets be honest, the boxers/contenders would be wise to take Sauliman's path to riches and fame, the only one that should have an issue is Teofimo Lopez, because he is the lineal champion who has the strongest claim to the thrown, but he too cant complain considering he gladly accepted the 'Franchise' title and the perks that came with it.

This is not going away, the interested parties involve are getting rich and advancing their careers.

you forgot one thing. THE FANS!! But thats the problems with boxing and exactly why its well below potential. All about the $$$ and couldnt less about its fan base. Simply put, TRASH.
