    This latest incident by them is mind blowing. For those who don't know, the WBC recently rejected Trout as an opponent for Canelo on the grounds that they don't allow unification because they will lose authority and exclusivity. Are you ****ing serious? Nevermind that Ward is the WBC/WBA champ at 168, how could anyone spout such blatant nonsense?

    That's not the worst part though. Apparently The WBC is trying to extort Trout. They claim if he tries to fight Canelo then they will send a letter to the WBA informing them that Trout tested positive in a fight in Mexico. Of course, what the WBC neglects to mention is that Trout tested positive for Marijuana, and that it was later proven to be a false positive. The WBC isn't even trying to hide the fact that they are completely corrupt. They just don't care anymore.

    Hard to figure out what's worse: the WBA Super, Regular, Interim, and "Champion in Recess" belts, or the WBC World, Silver, Diamond, and Emeritus champion business.

    Both are pretty terrible.

    So he can't unify, needs a contender, can't be Lara or another fighter that is not marketable, more then likely can't be ranked, am I missing any other stipulations?

    Ahhh, gotcha.

    The sad part is that I think this is all unnecessary. He is not your typical hype job in my opinion, but he sure is being run like one.

    WBC doesn't have the same prestige it once had

    but this is quite outrageous
