This is just letting the clowns run the operations of the circus. Hell, we have a couple States who have to actually 'borrow' commissions right now. The absolute first thing they need to do is encourage and abide by a unified champion and not roadblock it with obscure manufactured mandatories simply to collect sanctioning fees.

Salient points my friend. And if by chance they do sort something out, the youngin WBO will become a paper weight.

I find it odd that my friends at the summit did not discuss the elimination of aluminum, copper, silver, interim, recess & emeritus titles.

Right now, having any or the other title is meaningless. Who gives a fuck about the WBO belt when you have the IBF and WBA? Who gives a fuck about the WBC when you have the IBF and WBO straps? See the picture? Throw in there the Ring title, and one can see how potential revenue is being lost on good fighters being relegated to non descript positions.

When the belts are fragmented like this, then it should be automatic that one champ fights the other champ. AUTOMATIC.

Easier said than done with these money grabbing scums ;)

It's the only way to save their reputations. Shoots, we don't even need them to make big money fights anymore. We know who we wanna pay to see fight.

.... and, with sanctioning fees for each organization, it can become costly for fighters and promoters to keep more than one belt. Why would I pay sanctioning fees to two orgs when I am only going to fight one guy? lolololol...
