WBC on the verge of stripping Pacquiao and Pavlik

[Deanrw]

Weird,the sanctioning fees are supposed to come directly out of purse. Me smells a manager who's double dipping. Most of the time you dont even discuss sanctioning fees when you negotiate, its an assumed.

Why would there be a sanctioning fee for Hopkins/Pavlik? It was not for any title.

Even the Lockett fight was a WBO mandatory. Did the WBC even sanction it?

Now the WBC wants $150,000 from Pac for fighting Oscar? time for another belt to be dumped.

[Lance Uppercut]

The WBC demands 1% of their champions purses for non-title fights. If you remember there was a story about how pissed Pavlik was when he fought Taylor the second time because he had to pay the WBC 30K.


Also there is no way Pac man is giving the WBC 1% of his De la Hoya purse. You better believe he will drop that belt.

My guess is they organizations view voluntary defenses as a champions break from their belt. They want to be "reimbursed" for their belt not earning potential money for the duration of training and recovery of the champion after a non title match.
