While the key to a result in the Megafight between undefeated pound for pound No.1 Floyd Mayweather Jr and eight division world champion Manny Pcquiao may be in a left right combinations or a left or right cross but the WBC says there is no correct or even-handed way to slap a price tag on the unique World Boxing Council emeralds encrusted belt in the build-up to the epic encounter at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on May 2.
WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman, responding to a series of questions about the cost of the ?Championship Belt of Belts? has said ?it's impossible to value, it's incalculable, so it doesn?t have a price.?
Sulaiman pointed out that the luxurious and priceless work of art will contain 3,000 emeralds making it the object of abject green envy.
He said that just as with the special Gold Belt that Mayweather won after his victory over Saul ?Canelo? Alvarez, the WBC Emerald belt will be presented at what is expected to be a memorable press conference.
The first specially crafted Diamond Belt exclusively for elite fighters was won by Pacquiao when he scored a 12th round TKO over Miguel Cotto in November 14, 2009.
The WBC Diamond belt was manufactured using the same design as the traditional belt but the materials imclude 18K golsd fusion, 598 diamonds, 196 emeralds and 150 Swarovsky semi precious stones.
