The WBA looks STUPID!

[Kirkland Laing]

I bet they're feeling like a bunch of total idiots as they sit there counting their multiple sets of sanctioning fees for each weight class.

What good is the money when the fighters do not value the titles and people question them?

It's ridiculous isn't it. The top lads at the WBA are all making loads of money and living nice lifestyles but they don't realise that what they're doing has no sporting integrity whatsoever.

I am sure they are not on loads of money and who can take them or the belt seriously.

When have you ever heard a fighter rubbish a belt? They love them. The only people that know they're true worth - from a who's the best in the world point of view - are boxing nerds.

The WBA makes millions of dollars a year renting belts out you daft bugger. If you were making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year as one of the bosses you'd probably be able to close your eyes to the fact that your organisation wasn't the most reputable sporting institution, wouldn't you?

No I would fight for the more prestigious title if I was the best in the division.

Why fight for a WBA title if it's meaningless?!!?

Or any strap. I ask myself that question every time I hear Broner boast of being a 4 division champ. As if it translates to being a great fighter.

I think to a lot of big names trinkets are nothing but door prizes. Tons of guys make the decision every week to lose it on the scale rather than to work hard enough prior to keep it. When I see a diva already with 5 belts wrapped around his waist, shoulder, forehead and two held up by corner people add yet another..its empty. When I see a longshot long time plugger come up and win just one you know its just made his career, just means more. These are the guys who do make weight and pay rent.
