The World Boxing Association Directorate held its first meeting after the WBA’s centennial celebration to evaluate the current situation of the organization and the future plans for what is considered a new era for the sport.
WBA President Gilberto Jesús Mendoza led the online meeting with the directors and all the senior staff. He gave an overview of the current projects being developed and the direction the body is taking in the face of the changes in boxing today.
Mendoza also thanked all the members for their confidence during his years of management and invited them to continue to put all their efforts into the progress of the WBA.
In addition, Carlos Chávez, Director of the Championships Committee, showed some of the ideas that he and Mendoza have worked on and everything that is planned for the coming months.
Surprised Don King wasn’t in on that meeting.
The 100th anniversary of the WBA should be a day of mourning. No explanation is necessary.
Agenda number one that should be discussed; How to minimize and/or eliminate corruption. Nuff said.
@Scoob I was trying to respond to Lucie on another thread about the WBA, but it wouldn’t let me post the link. The link was to an article I read yesterday titled “‘FIGHTING WORDS’ — THE WBA IS THE CAUSE, DON KING WAS JUST THE SYMPTOM”. This was from RingTV.com. Pretty interesting article. Regarding the multiple champion per division thing, Gilberto Mendoza Jr. was quoted as saying “They tell me that there should only be one champion, but they don’t give me solid arguments.” The article doesn’t indicate who “they” are, but it’s clear they don’t intend on reducing the number of belts.
Doing that would pretty much put them out of business.

Who gives a shit ?!
So is “Directorate meeting” just a buzz word for “Directors meeting”?
