WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO sanctioning bodies all have different top ten mandatories why?

[TidWell]

Each sanctioning body caters to different promoters

WBO aka “whatever Bob orders” caters to Bob Arum and the wbc caters to PBC and Canelo, WBA caters to whoever pays the highest bid, that’s why I like the IBF, they enforce their mandatories and only have 1 belt, no silver belt no commemorative belt or interim belt.

Its like there is not real universal ranking, basically The Ring for years was considered the legit p4p rankings until Golden boy bought them out.

 

[TidWell]

They all have their own agenda.

If fans want a accurate ranking system then ring magazine or boxrec are about the best. They are there, or there abouts

What about ESPN?

 

[TidWell]

Yeah i'll take boxrec's rankings over the sanctioning bodies. As a website that keeps detailed records of all things boxing, their rankings are based on stats and facts.

I dont visit Boxrec becuase they have viruses and force you to sign up after viewing 3 fighters records.

 

[TidWell]

Maybe it has to do with all the regional titles as well. WBO European champ for example

oh man I forgot all about those International, Euro and Oriental titles lol

Anyone know how much each sanctioning body Fee charge is for those titles?

What about ESPN?

It’s not a major sports channel over here so it may not be that relevant outside of north America

If you look at each sanctioning body, and who the mandatories and top ten are in each division they are almost all different its as if promoters are paying off these bodies to get their fighters ranked in the top ten moving them closer to mandatory status.

what a joke

Make them merge into one sanctioning body, Tiddy!
I’ll buy u a premium!

 

[Shoemaker]

I think its probably Manny Pacquiao's fault
