WBA nonsense culmination this weekend

OK so we have 3 (three) WBA world cruiserweight bouts, all this weekend: super (Lebedev vs Ramirez), vacant (Kalenga vs Dorticos) and interim (Shumenov - Wright).
Why not just make the last two into tournament, winner fighting the winner of the Lebedev vs Ramirez?
Yeah I know but still...

Lebedev vs Ramirez winner will be a unified WBA/IBF champion who will have Gassiev as an IBF mandatory. Dorticos vs Kalenga winner would absolutely kill the joke Shumenov. He can't be seriously considered a champion. He wasn't a real champion even at LHW.

It's Sanctioning fees from the the fake belts. Thing is if they cleared up the mess they have created there are actually some good fights.

They're some crowd
They just make it up as they go along. Being the regular champion or the interim champion is no more different than being the number 1 and number 2 contender for the proper title. Just a roundabout way to complicate things and make a few extra quid.

And the best is, they pretend this is to ultimately have one champ per division. Winner of Super WBA Lebedev and IBF Ramírez tomorrow will have 4 months to fight regular Shumenov, who defends against Wright tomorrow. Tonight in Paris, Kalenga and Dorticos meet for the interim strap.

I would love to see Shumenov terminated by Lebedev. This fraud needs to be brutally exposed.

... collecting sanctioning fees 3 times. ABC orgs are happy, fake champions are happy, everybody who feeds from those "champions" are happy, only hardcore fans are unhappy.
