The WBA is Garbage #1,348

So Chris John has been defending the WBA featherweight title for several years now. Then last year the WBA made Yuriorkis Gamonboa their WBA featherweight champion too. Then last week they tried to make the winner of Caballero vs Yordan a third WBA featherweight champion.

However, at the last minute the WBA tried to "shake [Lou Dibella] down for an extra $12,000," so he decided not to purchase the title.

This is freaking ridiculous.



This story is from Dan Rafael's blog:
W. Klitschko-Haye a heavyweight to get psyched for - ESPN

Fucking hell, it sounds like they have started a 'Pay two world title belt sanctioning fees and we'll give you three belts' deal.

I wonder if they have a reward points or coupon scheme? Evidently.

The worst part is that the Chris John has done every thing asked of him and has fought all his mandatory in a timely manner and the WBA reward him by diluting his title.

John has the Saddoboxing title, and that's all that really matters.
