Joe Rogan Slams WBC for Stripping Crawford of Its Just Insane

The 58-year-old well-known American podcaster and UFC commentator, **Joe Rogan**, responded to the **WBC**’s decision to strip undefeated former three-weight world champion **Terence Crawford** of his title due to his refusal to pay a mandatory fee.

«That’s ridiculous. Terence Crawford said, ‘Get lost, I’m the champion, I just defeated Canelo.’ Did the WBC actually expect him to pay $300,000? Stripping him of the title is pure madness. The WBC receives payments just for being a sanctioning body, but what do they actually do? Nothing at all.

Terence lost his belt because of an unpaid fee of $300,000—it’s unbelievable. This resulted in the abrupt end of Crawford’s reign as the undisputed champion. Come on, he’s a champion! You can’t take his title away just because he doesn’t want to give you money. Get out of here, Terence won,” the site Bloody Elbow quotes Crawford.
