Mosley Stripped of WBC Intern belt!

[PJD3]

Mosley was stripped of his WBC Welterweight Interim Title for not putting it up against Cotto, when he faces Cotto for his WBA Welterweight Belt.
Now the WBC only recognizes maywhatever as wbc chump.
And this I do not understand, :wtf since maywhatever has not defended it ever, nor has he fought at 147 in over a year nor will he since he facing Hatton at 140!
How is he able to keep the belt?
Or as Teddy Altas says WBC "The We Be Charging"

Well, Mayweather is putting his WBC Belt up for grabs against Hatton. Mosley is not putting his WBC intermin belt up for grabs against Cotto.

WBC despise the move because they are not earning anything out of the fight. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Fuck that! WBC strikes again!

:yep

[theunderdog]

that belt ain't worth shit anyway.

[He Hate Me]

Who really cares anymore, boxers are fighting for pride these days. The belts are just tokens like most of the champs.

[tliang1000]

mayweather is vacanting after Hatton... unless he signs with cotto or mosely winner. There is no way he should fight paul williams.. Skills pays the bills to some extent. Floyd will lose all his advantage fighting a giant welter.

[Boinko]

Is anyone really surprised about this? Just do what many fights fans do now-a-days, ignore the alphabet bullshit and hope they go away.

I've been saying that for many years. Unfortunately they don't go away.

They've degraded the sport for so many years by diluting the signficance of what it means to be a champion.

When I hear people complain MMA is getting a lot more attention these days than boxing, you'd think it would be a great chance for boxing to look at this whole multiple belts bullshit and fix the problem. But, they won't.

Anyways, I doubt Mosley is losing any sleep over losing the WBC intern belt. It's all nonsense.

[o_money]

glad mosely didn't cough up to these bitches....

how in the hell will we ever get rid of this alpha bet bullshit. Cause honestly its not like any of these organizations is going to accept going away because there all in it to make money. And boxings so international its not like there is a governing body that could just step in and say sorry you, you and you are know out of bussiness.

[jray1]

It hasn't been a year since Mayweather fought at 147. It will be over a year when he fights Hatton but it has been 10 1/2 months since he won the title. Plus he's fighting Hatton at 147 not 140.

[theunderdog]

i mean who cares about the belt? we're getting a match that we could only dream off last year. and the wbc can do whatever it wants and we'll still be able to watch this fight. fuck them

[psychopath]

It comes into my head why this fucki'n WBC declared Peter as an interim champ . . . so that they can charge their sanctioning fee on his next fight.

I'll be DAMN. :-(

Simply pathetic. :yep

[Sweet Pea Pacquiao]

For all intensive purposes, who cares about the belt? The fight's being made, and the two of them getting in the ring is the only thing that counts. But if you want to know...

INTERIM Champs are not allowed to unify belts, because they are not real world champions. The reason why they are interim is because they are keeping the seat warm until the actual champion finally fights him for the right to wear the real belt. For example, as I said in an earlier post, Katsidis can't unify with David Diaz because Katsidis is the WBO INTERIM champ. Juan Diaz is the real WBO champ, so he can unify. In essence it's saying that Katsidis can't unify because he has nothing to unify with. Which also means that he's only "sort of" world champion, but only within his own sanctioning body.

F--k the alphabet boys. And F--k GBP for buying Ring and shredding the last bastion of credibility in boxing.

[Sweet Pea Pacquiao]

But they'll charge Katsidis for sanctioning fees to defend his INTERIM belt against only WBO contenders. Ain't that a bitch?

[Sweet Pea Pacquiao]

Boxing's sitting pretty now, but wait until UFC starts their deal with HBO. The advertisement and endorsement money has to go somewhere, especially when UFC is able to pay their fighters better. And it will slowly eat at boxing promoters and sanctioning bodies alike until there will be no pie left. Greedy motherf--kers.

And nothing will make me wanna puke like Dana White declaring victory over a sport that created HIM!

[rvk2007]

who gives a fuck its just an interim belt.

[audio101]

Belts mean nothing anymore to the casual fans that use to only watch championship fights because of them. Hopefully more big named boxers will do the same as Mosley.

[Boom_Boom]

It shouldnt been his in the first place

[Chiko_Tech]

Dammm i was hopping that mosley put in the line the belt because the winner of the fight was olbigated, or maybe Floyd was obligated to fight the winner.

[Rumsfeld]

Why?

[Doomas]

Mosley had a belt at 147?
I believe he won it from Collazo.

If that happened for sure then I can assume that either Shane should have put the WBC WW interim Belt on the line or that Jose Sulaiman is working things out so that Floyd may get the fights he likes most in the short future with no other major impediment such as Mosley... Atlas is right, we (should) be charging but then nobody did it, not even Shane, MoneyMayweather gets away with it once again... Dreadful!

[Brickhaus]

Why the hell would anyone want the interim belt anyway? If both belts were on the line, the winner would need to vacate one of them anyway because of the timing of mandatories, so why even bother with the fake interim belt?

[chilost]

what do you guys think Molsey's reasons were for not puting that belt on the line?
I think this is a CONSPIRACY against Cotto by GBP inc.
Now according to Jose Superman, he could have defend that belt vs Cotto in a Unification bout. I think him & Oscar aswell as UGF had a meeting of the minds and decided not to put the belt up cause if he loses the belt to Cotto, he(Cotto) can pressure UGF to fight him or have UGF get stripped of the belt and thus making Cotto full-time WBC Champ. Now UGF knows that he can relax & dodge Cotto without the fear of losing his belt.
This fvck up! i thought Interm Titles couldnt be defended in Unification bouts but I guess the WBC Interm Title can be.

For a well established, popular fighter, an interim belt is no big deal. But for a lesser known fighter with limited appeal, having an interim belt at least keeps you in line for other fights (and paydays) down the line. I guess that's the attraction.

I agree with the majority of posters here that the interim belts are just a way for the ABC's to charge santioning fees and rake in more cash for themselves.

[Spitfire7]

Does that make WBC's Sulaiman a..."Stripper?"

Why would he pay sanctioning fee's on a belt that means nothing? When he beats Cotto and Floyd beats Hatton the WBC still wouldn't mandate a fight between the two, so he would just be pissing his money away.
