Hit the nail on the head, the group who's founder did time for corruption (taking bribes) and the organization that should of gone bust when they were successfully sued for $30 Million because they wronged Graciano Rocchigiani, have "the best reputations".....
You know what I mean BK, there's the established big four, kinda like the Premiership. WBO are the new boys, brought into the mix by long reigns by champs such as Joe Calzaghe, Marco Antonio Barrera, Wlad Klitschko etc. WBA with their four or five world titles in each division, WBC and IBF seem to be most stable and most coveted, despite the actions of the boards.
I know where you are coming from.

I will say, that this to a very large degree, TV Executives fault, they feed into the system what little credability the alphabet organizations get.

I suspect most (TV Execs) either know little or nothing about the sport and thus use the organizations to find talent.

If talent has not got a piece of alphabet crap and is not established then TV Execs presume the fighter is not worth pursing. So of course, the up shot is fighters have to prostitute themselves to not just their pimps.... sorry promoters, but alphabet organizations as well!
