HA! Sulaiman is crying about Shane and Floyd not fighting for a title

WBC President Sulaiman is crying over the fact that SSM and Floyd didn't fight for SSM's WBA belt so they could avoid the sanctioning fees. Karma is a b**ch!!

“…it was for me a humiliation and a threat to all world boxing institutions, which are who open the doors to all boxers from their very beginning, bringing them into the world ratings, to give boxers the opportunities to win world titles that lead them to fame and glory,” said Sulaiman. “They enjoy it for a while to fall next into the paws of the giant TV corporations and some promoters, once that boxers have become the top of the cream, taking away the merits and kicking in the behinds of the world sanctioning bodies, once they don’t need them any more, while those organizations continue working, through the good and the bad, to bring more boxers to the top, to see again the same lesson be repeated once and again.

“These three great boxers (Oscar is the other one) continue being my personal heroes and absolutely the pride of the WBC, as well as keeping my respects for HBO. But how sad and unfair it is that they have forgotten the institutions that opened their doors and let them to conquer glory and the pride of the boxing fans of the world. As the fight Mayweather-Mosley is going to be exclusively for the money and only to see who is going to win over the other, with no other interest, and as a boxing fan, I have decided to stay home to watch it on the Mexican Televisa, which does recognize and respect always those which have been an important part to take boxers to the heights.”

Obviously he is worried about a trend starting as it affects business. This is what they get for being so greedy themselves.

 

If the organizations truly cared about the prestige that their belts bring to the sport they wouldn't be creating a million belts per weight class. I hope more boxers continue this trend as nowadays you can easily distinguish between champions and beltholders.
