The WBA is Garbage #901

[Lance Uppercut]

From Dan Rafael of ESPN.COM/Boxing


"The clowns at the WBA are at it yet again. Once again, they'll have three so-called champions in the same division, which means triple the sanctioning fees. It must be a great gig when you can get into three different pockets and be paid three times for the same thing. The latest abomination is courtesy of the lightweight division, where Juan Manuel Marquez reigns as the "super champion" and Paulus Moses is the "regular champion." On July 25 the horrific hat trick will be completed when the winner of the Urbano Antillon-Miguel Acosta bout is declared "interim champion." It's an absolute disgrace and a farce. Why is it that anyone still takes this wretched organization seriously?"

Dan Rafael asks an rhetorical question why anyone takes the WBA seriously, it should also apply to the WBC, WBO, and IBF. All of them are shit.

I'd say the WBA are particularly shit, with their 3 champs per division. I still think the WBC just about remain the most credible

I completely agree. They all are shit, but you have to agree, the WBA takes it to a whole new level.

3 champions per division, by one alphabet gang is hilarious.

lol it is... as if having 4 different champions per weight class isn't bad enough...

Now the WBA has decided that because they have 3 rival bodys that they'd better make 3 belts.

It's genius... the amount of belts out there is ridiculous anyway... and they now control 50% of them!!

Why have 4 champs and only get paid fees off 1, when you can make it into 6... and control 3?

The WBA runs their title structure like a multi-level marketing company.
