The WAA Titles

[keithmoonhangover]

Over the years, the WAA (World Athletic Association?) was an obscure title to say the least, but it's not a clickable title like the WBB. Why?

all titles that are in the system are clickable and are listed on http://boxrec.com/titles

Nope. Not the WAA titles. Look at O'Grady's fight with Andy Ganigan.

Of course not. Read what Marina wrote, "all titles that ARE in the system are clickable", WAA is not in system and probably won't be. We simply cannot put all existing titles into system. Titles which are not, as well as elimination fights, are mentioned in the wiki of the corresponding fight.

Yes, but that's my point. The WBB are clickable, yet the WAA aren't. Why not?

I just answered that, my friend. Because we can and will not put EVERY EXISTING TITLE into our system. BoxRec policy.

WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING?

Hi Keith,

we're talking about two different things here. One is the titles we put into the system and which are visible and clickable on the link that I mentioned before.
Those are the titles we list.

The other thing are comments that have been put in and are in the same field as comments such as "down in round 1,3 and 6". Years ago we allowed title comments such as the one you mentioned to be inserted into the data base. That is what you saw with WAA on http://boxrec.com/show/25228, a mere comment which has now been moved to the encyclopaedia (http://boxrec.com/media/index.php?title=Fight:35341) where it should have been all along. These days now we don't allow title comments any more because there are too many titles that confuse our users and too many wannabe titles.

All the best, Marina

Hi Marina,

Thanks for the update.

There you go... and please excuse, I was not shouting, I was just outlining those three words.
