Oscar has been sitting on that belt for a year without a bit of stress from the WBC and certainly no mention of having to face anyone.

Maybe it's just me because I can't stand the organization anymore because of what they're doiing to Peter but still, it does seem a little strange.
In a word, yes. Either that or fighter's who they know will vacate the belt or something anyways so they won't always get the sanctioning fee. Same with every orginization I really don't see how anyone can say oh the IBF or WBC is so corrupt as if the WBA and WBO aren't?? All the same, the only legitimacy any of them hold today solely depends on the fighter that carries their belt, and yet at the same time when they have an elite fighter who is recognized for it that's when they are least likely to enforce proper mandatories. It's all a big BS cycle with sanctioning bodies and promoters.
CCP4P,you nailed that. Complete bS,all thses sanctions.
