Juan Manuel Marquez Tells Pacquiao To His Face Floyd Would Kick His Ass On ESPN First

We need so many belts because it's much easier to sell a fight when a belt is on the line. If you're telling people it's for a world championship then that sells the fight to a lot of people/TV viewers. It helps build fighters too. It helps the sanctioning bodies because they make money from every belt, it helps the promoters sell fights and build the popularity and revenue-producing capability of fighters, so there are a lot of bodies and belts.

Keeps alot of people in jobs then.
