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.

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.
Wbc franchise champion Wbc regular champion Wbc silver champion Wbc interim champion Ibf champion Wbo champion Ibo champion Wba super champion Wba regular champion Wba interim champion Ring belt champion Lol, any more belts im missing.
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.
