In keeping with its recently launched WBCBOXING.TV, the World Boxing Council will carry the WBC light flyweight title defense of Filipino Rodel Mayol against mandatory challenger Omar Nino Romero of Mexico, the former world champion who won the title from then champion Brian Viloria in 2006.
Pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao's adviser Michael Koncz who handles Mayol along with Pacquiao initially didn't want the fight to be shown via the internet site of WBC Boxing TV but apparently agreed to it after conversations with WBC secretary general Mauricio Sulaiman with whom Koncz was scheduled to have dinner on Friday.
Koncz told us that since they had the Philippine television rights for the telecast and were hoping to sell the event to one of the networks in the Philippines he didn't want the fight shown.
We suggested to Mauricio Sulaiman that strict copyright laws be enforced and a notice be placed before, after and even during the telecast indicating that the fight or any portion thereof cannot be re-broadcast by any network, organization or individual and that violators would be prosecuted.
When the WBCBOXING.TV project was launched some months ago, WBC president Jose Sulaiman said fight fans would be "see boxing LIVE, which we have been doing FREE, every Saturday, hoping that you have clicked in and have enjoyed it."
Sulaiman said "We need many more users to really extend through all the world and make it some day a real option and opportunity for the many promoters, boxers and managers that today do not have enough or no support at all from TV."
