    Well it looks like Canelo will fight Smith next so it ain't all that bad.

    I love the term 'franchise', the WBC aren't even pretending to be a sporting organisation anymore - strictly business.

    Franchise is quite an appropriate name.
    You can buy the belt for an appropriate fee, just like a Franchise.

    For once We Bow to Canelo are being open and honest.

    The WBC are proud to announce a new Franchise Partnership with Clenelo's. At Clenelo's - you know what you eat!

    Super Saver Menu:

    - Triple G Stack - Two succulent Kazakh fillets so huge you're practically robbing us
    - Fielding Fries - Long, thin and unseasoned. In fact, you can have them anyway you want
    - The 'Beefy' Smith - More chicken. This recipe from Northern England will leave your body aching for more
    - The Amir Khan sharing box - One of our favourites. Its a guaranteed knockout to savour with your friends
    - Julio Seasoned Chavez - Its not our best, but its a definite filler
    - The Cotto Classic - We know you love the classics, thats why we brought this one back from the last decade
    - Kirkland Krushems - A Sweet, Strong shake that packs some serious American flavour - served in a china mug for the home sweet home feelin'

    Franchise champion? Does that mean there can be more than one Canelo?

    Its definitely risky from a fans perspective.

    I don't doubt Canelo will fight the fights the fans want, he seems to aim for that, but not all fighters have that mentality and may abuse that rule to their convenience.

    A unified champion as in they would have to be a WBA, WBO or IBF champion as well? Thats totally weird that the main condition would be that they also have to hold a title belt of a rival organisation that’s in direct competition with themselves.

    I'm not sure the ABCs see themselves as competing with each other.

    One positive that I see is that it would free up a unified champion from fighting a B level top contender and allow him to fight another champion, or even a champion from another division.

    So Charlo is the Wbc champion, so if Ggg beats him will Canelo fight Ggg that he has a belt? So who is the interim Wbc champion Korobov, the silver Wbc champion Ggg.

    The WBC has been trying to get GGG to fight Charlo for a bit now, but they don't want it. The WBC said it was an eliminator for a shot at Canelo's WBC.
