Say what?? That can't be right... Do fighter's pay a sanctioning fee for the "Ring" belt? (I always thought the RING belt was like a P4P thing or like a trophy) What Mexican is he gonna "give" the belt to? Cheech is probably gonna get suspended.
Wouldn't be surprised if it played a role in the WBC deciding to enforce the Zbik mandatory in the first place: http://www.maxboxing.com/news/other-boxing-news/martinez-williams-ii-the-punch-
So let's assume Chavez Jr did KO Martinez on the 12th round, that would make Jr the automatic Ring Magazine Champion because he would have defeated the "real" Ring's MW Champ. Afterall that is what the Ring Mag Champ belt is for, to recognized a legitimate champion. Now the question would be, would Sillyman take away the WBC belt away from Chavez Jr because he would of had the WBC and the Ring belts? :huh The WBC is becoming more of a joke everytime.
I don't think he can't until he loses. Which then will pass on to the "New recognized" MW champ. I think that is how it works.
Thanks. Sillyman says he doesn't want to 'dilute the brand'. You still have to pony up $20K for the Ring Belt. I remember Pavlik said he was shocked when he found out. For Jr. he might have found it in his (alleged) heart to make an exception and let Jr. hold both had he won. Yeah, stupid **** but Sillyman gets sillier by the day.
