WBC won't ever strip a PPV mexican boxing star, PERIOD !

The WBC doesn't give a damn about their reputation when will you realize that? Fighters will still line up for a shot at their belt and continue to pay their sanctioning fees, like they've down for decades. This whole Canelo-GGG is business as usual for the WBC.:deal

 

Not to mention It's foolish to believe K2 will take it to the court and press Canelo to drop the belt as landing the Canelo fight is more important for them and GGG than just taking the belt.

 

That to. Taking it to court might even **** off Canelo and GBP and they might never give him a shot at a career high payday Canelo seems to be that petty to do something like that to.

 

n early 1998, Roy Jones, Jr. announced that he was relinquishing his WBC light heavyweight title. In response, the WBC ordered a bout between Graciano Rocchigiani from Germany and the former champion Michael Nunn to fill the vacancy, sanctioning it as a world championship match. On March 21, 1998, Rocchigiani won the fight and a WBC belt; in the subsequent WBC rankings, he was listed as "Light-Heavyweight World Champion".

Jones, however, had a change of heart and asked if the WBC would reinstate him as the champion. In a move that violated nearly a dozen of its own regulations, the WBC granted the reinstatement.[citation needed] Rocchigiani received a letter from the WBC advising that the publication of his name as champion was a typographical error, and he had never been the official titleholder.[citation needed]

Rocchigiani immediately filed a lawsuit against the WBC in a U.S. federal court, claiming that the organization's actions were both contrary to their own rules and injurious to his earning potential (due to diminished professional stature). On May 7, 2003, the judge ruled in Rocchigiani's favor, awarding him $30 million (U.S.) in damages and reinstating him as a former WBC champion (Rocchigiani had lost a bout since his WBC title match).

The following day, the WBC sought protection by filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (i.e., corporate debt restructuring) in Puerto Rico. The organization spent the next 13 months trying to negotiate a six-figure settlement with Rocchigiani, but the fighter at first rejected the proposal.

On June 11, 2004, the WBC announced it would enter Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation (i.e., business closing and total asset sell-off) proceedings, effectively ending its existence. This action prompted some in the boxing community to plead with Rocchigiani to settle the dispute, which he did in mid-July 2004. The WBC continues.

Days before his fight with Saul Alvarez on November 21, 2015, the World Boxing Council asked their recognized world Middleweight champion, Miguel Cotto, to pay them $300,000 dollars in fees to sanction the bout. Cotto refused, and the WBC stripped him of the title, recognizing Gennady Golovkin as their interim champion instead.[10] When Alvarez won the fight with Cotto, the WBC gave Alvarez partial recognition as their world Middleweight champion.

 

GGG doesn't want to go to court..it's not how he does things..but I know what ya sayin..the road that was trying to be steered to was the WBO belt and that fell through..so GGG is now back on the WBC road..Ginger will have to go to 154,it's his only hope..he won't fight gena

 

That's a smart business move

Keep up the good work WBC

 

:think
After Martinez vs Jr. the head of the WBC was not happy with talks about a rematch. And if i remember correctly, they made Rubio the mandatory again.(because after the Rubio-Jr. fight, there were some drug testing issues...)

Reminds me of the situation at 147 with the WBO belt. There has not been a mandatory defence in 6 or so years.
Bradley vs Ali was ordered but they just created a new belt for Ali. atsch

 

Based on what exactly?

 

You look like a complete fool in this thread considering you're one of the biggest Mayweather fan boys and apologist. :verysad

 

Hey I'm not knocking canelo he's paid his dues he's now the cash king and calls the shots that's the way it works. It doesn't benefit him from fighting ggg asap and he and gbp know this time is on his side not ggg. He can get big paydays without ggg he doesn't need him right now.
