whats the difference between diamond and regular WBC? "this belt was created as an honorary championship exclusively to award the winner of a historic fight between two high-profile boxer" then Martinez fought Dzindziruk for a "vacant WBC Diamond middleweight title" WTF ... how could that belt be vacant, how Dzindziruk is considered a high-profile boxer and this fight is historic? How the belt is at stake for all Martinez fights?

Because the WBC get sanctioning fees from that belt more than likely and Martinez can still claim he is the real middleweight champion Corrupt as hell I know
It's the ultimate excuse to make more sanctioning fees and keep favoured fighters away from opponents who will derail the gravy train. It was started to keep Vitali in the mix while he was out the game but Jose has thought "wait a minute,there's pesos to be made here"
I think that was the emeritus belt. The diamond belt is literally made out of precious stones, it's a decorative thing that costs 50K or so. This content is protected
So it's for a fight between the two best boxers in a division... and it was given to Martinez for beating Dzinziruk...WTF? A guy who had never even fought at 160 before? :rofl:rofl
You know I deserve a slap for that.atsch Every few weeks I read Bob Mee crusading against this in BN and I still got them mixed up.:-(
