Not that it has anything to do with him being stripped by the WBC, but I've been wondering, why doesn't he carry it to the fights?
Does he even hold a physical version of the title belt? Does that involve a fee as well?
Martinez used to flash his ring mag belt all the time, even carried it up to the ring the night he lost to Cotto, yet post fight, Cotto only held the WBC belt.
Is it a symbolic thing where a boxer gets to keep their belt as memorabilia despite no longer being recognized as champ, and they just give the new champ another belt?
Been wondering about that stuff for the longest time, now seemed as good a time as any to ask.
