    Ony a couple of divisions have a number 1 contender, and in some weights the number 2 contender is also vacant.

    Is there any innocent reason, or is it just to ensure no one gets a mandatory title fight unless they have the 'right' promoter

    They order eliminators for the no.1 and 2 positions meaning they can rack up more sanctioning fees :yep

    You have to pay them sanctioning fees every fight to be ranked 1 or 2. Yeah, the IBF are great, no interim titles or anything like that :lol: They still collect the fees just don't hand out a belt.

    Why don't they just call the No.1 the Ordinary belt holder, and the No. 2 as the Interim Champ?:deal:nono
