Real Life Rankings Question

Tomato Can · 03-06-2022, 12:05 PM

This is gaming related, but I would like to know the real life answer so I can apply it to my game. In boxing, why are some boxers ranked in one Organization and not in another. For example, one could be ranked in the WBA but not the WBO OR one could be ranked in the WBO and WBA but not the IBF and so on and so on. Any idea why some boxers are not rated in an organization when ranked in others?

Simple answer might be managers refusing to pay bribes to ABC groups to have their fighters ranked by more than one group. The ABC criminal organisations are bitter rivals competing for a shrinking pot of money.

Yep, Cap's right - like most things in life at that level it probably involves some form of payoffs.
