The WBC simply want their slice of the purse.

No other reason at all.

The crooks tried to shaft Kelly Pavlik of his title winning shorts didnt they.

Marco Sulaiman came into the dressing room after the fight and declared that Pavlik 'Give the shorts to his father as a gift to him and the WBC'

Kelly said no way 'My blood is on these shorts, there mine'

After being informed that he should give up the shorts or his reign may be difficult, Marco Suliaman left with them in a bag.

24 hours later he was forced to return them after an intervention by the local boxing authority got wind of it.

They reminded him that, Kelly didnt want to give away the shorts at all - and that they could be viewed as a 'gift' and therefore he could go to jail for 6 months for taking them, as their are strict laws with regards this type of thing.
