                                                “In today’s market it is 
                                                important to make the boxing 
                                                world understand that the WBF is 
                                                different and trying to make a 
                                                difference to the sport,” 
                                                explained Nartz. “Our philosophy 
                                                is different to those of any 
                                                other sanctioning group in that 
                                                we do not work with all those 
                                                endless, crazy titles which 
                                                pollute boxing. 
 
                                                
                                                We do not manipulate our ratings 
                                                which unfortunately still is 
                                                common, we keep our fees at a 
                                                reasonable level and do never 
                                                ask to be coddled by promoters 
                                                in exchange for ‘favours’ for 
                                                their fighters. This is, mainly, 
                                                what our presentation tries to 
                                                bring across.”
 
                                                
                                                Also, WBF President Howard 
                                                Goldberg is satisfied with the 
                                                presentation. Speaking from his 
                                                South African office, Goldberg 
                                                said: 
 
                                                
                                                “I think with this presentation 
                                                we will make even more people 
                                                aware of what the World Boxing 
                                                Federation is able to give to 
                                                the sport. As the statistic 
                                                section in it proves, we keep 
                                                growing each and every year so 
                                                far, both in number of WBF 
                                                championship bouts as well as in 
                                                territory and therefore it is 
                                                important to show what the WBF 
                                                stands for.”
