And the front running as per reports is Jermall Charlo vs Canelo Alvarez next. All in-house money for PBC again. But obviously there are fans that will not like this fight, as we wanted him to face David Benavidez, but Canelo is clearly ducking him.
The big winner in this is the WBC who gets to keep milking the cash cow Canelo in sanctioning fees, plus now they have Benavidez as interim champion, and Munguia as silver champion. It's not in their interest to force Canelo to fight either of them because they would rather keep extracting fees from multiple champions instead of one. They should at least order Benavidez and Munguia to fight each other. Then Canelo won't be able to say they haven't earned an opportunity.
And that's why we say that WBC is the most corrupt organization in boxing, the Sulaiman turn it into a organization that those boxers and promoters will dictate everything and they will do nothing about it. Like as what you have describe, they are going to milk Canelo as much as they can with this fees and not enforcing Canelo's mandatory. It will be great if they can push Benavidez vs Munguia next, but I doubt it as well. They wil have to defend this guys as they could be their next cash cow, so they have to fight other names in their rankings and then Canelo going to Jermall Charlo.
Money matters and they are good in making tons of it from those fighters who choose not to force themselves into fight but instead pay the fees and keep their name on top, I guess this corruptions already dominates and fighters and their camps are enjoying it as they can just pick who they want to accept then it's an easy money to take while you are still on the top rankings.
It's been happening for a while already. But now boxers are smarter too, they know how to protect their value and as much as possible they'll keep their undefeated record and build their wins by cherry picking their opponents. The greediness happened when a boxer left his promoter to promote his own because he wants to make most of the money he is making, besides, he is the main product and it's easy to find a promoter once a fighther had already build his own name. It's money matters, yes that's true.
Promoters and those advertisers will continue to follow your name and will continue to support your fight, pay and be paid that's how
things works from WBC.
Promoters are investors, of course they'll do everything to make their investment a success. They can't give money to satisfy the fans, but it should be them to be satisfied first then the fans. That's how it works now.
