    "WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman has told ESPN that his world governing body will consider sanctioning Floyd Mayweather Jr against Conor McGregor for one of its belts."

    When did WBC stopped caring about boxing an became an enterprice?

    We Be Crooks allow Wilder and The Pimp to fight bum after bum. This doesn't come as much of a surprise. Easily the most corrupt org and that's saying a lot.

    The WBC loves PBF and PBF loves the WBC in fact that was really the only belt he cared about. They let PBF get away with murder when he was their champ. So this doesn't surprise one bit

    When they got a look at the possible purses and decided if they sanction it they can pocket 3% from each guy.

    Sulaiman has his snout deep in the trough, he doesn't care about being respected or to be a custodian for the integrity of boxing. He is an unashamed opportunist only looking for a given opportunity to land a fat sanctioning fee.

    What no doubt gives him butt hurt, was Canelo the golden boy of Mexican boxing, tossing aside his little rainbow belt he conjured up for the Chavez fight or refusing to fight for GGG's WBC belt. That must eat him up from the inside, which I must admit is mildly amusing.

    It's not a federation or a business. It's a family. In what other business are you the president for forty years then when you die your son becomes the new president?

    The WBC has been corrupt ever since its inception . It really is no different
    to a Mafia Enterprise who opens a dummy company to represent its interests.

    It's definitely a mob or a cartel like the Sinaloas and the other alphabet companies are like the four families. You go to their website, under the organization page you have this list on the right of "Executive Lifetime Honorary Vice Presidents." It's like their list of made guys.

    It looks like those brackets the FBI uses to keep track of gangsters with bosses leading to capos going to lieutenants, etc.
