It's shitty but that's what you have to deal with as Champ. As much as the fans want 1 single champion the promoters all want their cut of champion money.....if there's 1 single champion, then a lot of promoters are missing out on their cash. And belts don't become worthless because there are promoters who will big up their fighters and get the belt and attempt to say their guy is THE MAN of the division.....they will fight tooth and nail against unification it's been that way for ages only there are more promoters in the game now.
