What's the point of interim titles if they never lead to title shots?

[SEANIE]

Michael Katsidis has twice held the WBO interim Lightweight title, but never got a shot at the WBO Lightweight belt. He is currently unranked by the WBO with Kevin Mitchell at number 1 in the rankings.

Juan Manuel Marquez has held the WBO Lightweight title since 28th February 2009. The WBO have him listed as being their super champion. He’s that super that in 14 months he’s failed to make a single defence. The WBO need to proclaim Katsidis as champion and remove Marquez as super champion.

The WBO currently has 3 other interim champions.

The WBA are even worse. They have 4 “Super Champions” and one boxer listed as being the “Unified Champion” and 7 that’s SEVEN interim champions. At Super Flyweight they have 3 champions. (That’s 3 sanctioning fees.)

What will they think of next to bag themselves a sanctioning fee.

Very good question. Not one Boxing commision can even answer. It is very simply MONEY !!!

I'll bet your right, I bet you hardly any if any could answer that. Ridiculous.

They are a part of the alphabet gangs secrete plan to confuse everyone, alienate boxing from the mainstream media, water down the accomplishments of legitimate champions, and ultimately destroy our sport.

He's not part of the free masonry and he refused to send Sulaiman compliments for his hairs therefore no ranking.

I prefer MMA in this respect. If you hold a interim title you are GUARANTEED to be the next man to challenge for the title in the particular MMA organisation.. off the top of my head I can't think of any exceptions in recent history, but i'm probably wrong.
