MEXICO – Life in Acapulco this week has revolved around one man.
The WBC president, Mauricio Sulaiman, has hosted the 64th Annual Convention in the Mexican resort in a hastily arranged meeting after Abu Dhabi was deemed an unsafe destination.
Sulaiman has chaired hours of meetings, posed for hundreds of pictures, made important decisions and rulings, and done a lot of interviews.
We spent 20 minutes talking on the opening day, and while the convention might have prompted further questions, Sulaiman – as ever – answered everything that came his way.
Sulaiman is widely heralded as one of the most powerful men in the sport, and the WBC presently sits atop the sanctioning bodies’ power pyramid, with the green and gold recognised as the market leader in the sport.
