In a packed to the rafters press conference in Mexico City, World Boxing Council President Mauricio Sulaiman, Fernando Montilla director of Makrame, Lorena Wong, marketing Director of Interjet and Rodrigo Cobo CEO of Talaria, presented a masterpiece belt of Huichol craftsmanship, to be awarded to the winner of the September 16 fight between WBC middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin and Saul "Canelo" Alvarez.

Now, I really hope Canelo wins this fight and screw those trinkets. :OhYes:

I'm done with the WBC, always trying to get their noses in the biggest fights just to get a sanctioning fee!

Do you know if the fighters actually have to pay a fee for it?

This is making me want Canelo to win so they can look stupid again for making another stupid belt.

Boxing is seriously becoming a joke with these commemorative belts to go along with actual titles (the main four anyways, fornicate all the silver and gold and super duper belts).

If I was either fighter I'd tell them to shove it, no way would I pay any extra sanctioning fees for that worthless piece of shit.

Probably not , but that belt is a marketing gimmick to remain under the wbc umbrella and that means keeping the 'WBC World Middleweight Title' which means fat fees! :OhYes:

Remind me, didn't they get told where they could shove it, last time they tried this commemorative belt stunt?

Yes it ended up in a backwater museum, hope they have room in the cabinet for another!
Did that money belt get fought for in the May/Mac circus? Or was it handed back?

You don't think they've brought it back out of retirement with a few subtle alterations do you ? :D

Mayweather was holding the money belt after the fight. He likes the WBC and vice versa. I think that is why the judging was so biased because it should have been scored close up until the stoppage. Mayweather's strategy was to wait until McGregor tired to go for the knockout.

How do you think it would be the scenario if Canelo wins ? Would Suleiman try to give Canelo that belt ?

I believe Mayweather paid to have the money belt constructed as a prop for the winner to wear thru the WBC.
