Diamond belt clarification

both

 

The Diamond belt is just for catchweights right?

 

This diamond belt thing is the final insult. They've been making it obvious for years they'll sanction the right star out of the clear blue sky. The lack of value in a title doesn't just come from the amount of titles out there. The lack of value in a title comes from the manufactured circumstances of how these oversized **** rings get handed out.

 

They should put Hatton's imaginary p4p title up for grabs, also.:yep

 

Pretty soon we are going to have more belts than The mens warehouse... Diamond whats next the Ruby Belt, the emerald then pearl wtf man...?

 

Lets have a belt per lb, then pretty much everyone's a champ...

 

Just a joke. And people wonder why boxing struggles. It's situations like this.

 

I gotta ask then - will Marquez/Mayweather be for the diamond belt? The interim championship?

Then we can force a fight between the 2 winners.

Possibly Mayweather/Pac.

Heh - something good came out of the Diamond Belt after all

 

Yeah thats what I was thinking...Why isnt JMM/Floyd a diamond belt?

 

I doubt it. Its not being contested at a catchweight. The purpose of the Diamond belt was so the WBC could make money off cathweight bouts whereby they cant sanction them as they dont fit into a conventional weight class.

 

word is that JMM vs PBF is being contested at 144 or 145

I think the WBC wanted the bigger fight as the first diamond belt fight.

 

it sounds like Arum put up the sanctioning fee. So Cotto didn't really cave
