We want as many IBA fights on TV as possible. That's the only way to make money. The organization that has the best champions will win out. You know the people you want to be around and people you don't want to be around. Deadbeats nobody needs.
Chance feels mandatory defenses are unnecessary.
There are no mandatory defenses with the IBA and never will be. Our fighters can earn their ratings by winning in the ring. Norm Longtin out of Sacramento is our ratings and championship chairman. I do not mention or suggest any fighter to him. That's Norm's total responsibility.
