    wasnt it Arum who made them invent the diamond belt for the Pac cotto fight at 145 lbs.

    No, and he claims he only used it at that fight because the WBC was giving it away for free.

    However, he rejected the second diamond belt that was offered for Pac Clotty, because they were trying to charge him 12K for it.

    I think it might be a slight bit better. At least with the "silver" belt you know by the name "silver" that it is not the top title. Whereas interim and super titles confuse who is the real champion and dilute the significance of the real World Champion.

    Actually I got a kick out of the "Super" world champion belt....I mean WTF is it supposed to mean?......The champion is good but this guy can protect the arena from dangerous Villains while defending his title?......

    I swear they will come up with anything....Whats next?....

    The WBA world champion everywhere but Austria...

    The WBA kind of Super world champion but after thinking about it he is no more super then anyone else

    The WBA Not Super but better then World Champion because this guy can juggle on his ring Walk

    The WBC Stationary title

    The WBC Bronze title

    The WBC Civil War commemorative USA Civil War Pewter Chess set Belt....

    I am beginning to believe they all sit in a var drunk and come up with these things as a joke just to see what the public will actually let them make money off of....
