What's the importance of fighting for a belt?

I don't get it.

 

They don't even wear pants.  What's the point?

I don't know if you're being serious but I actually do think it's completely ridiculous. I also think it's marketing hype because no one is the best fighter in the world. There's just no such thing as a fighter that cannot be beaten.

They should just run tournaments and have tournament champs. Winning a few tournaments in a row is much much more impressive than holding a belt for a few years especially with all the rematches, injuries, and squash matches, etc.. Phone Post 3.0

Hard to disagree with AlbertEinstein's logic.

 

If you're a champ and you defend your belt 3 times a year for multiple years, I think that solidifies you as the best in your division.  However tournaments always deliver for the fans.  Doesnt have to be multiple fights in one night either.

It should be something they can wear during fights. Like goldmember short shorts. Phone Post 3.0
