Hi Andy,
That could be true, however, we're sure the question would have been;

"Who would promote it?"

Again, many can say they challenge someone, but WHO will promote it?
1: Host and pay for the venue
2: Pay the purses
3: Pay this, pay that...

If it was a serious challenge, he would have had a promoter lined up to promote it. If your asking why wouldn't Wright promote it? Another easy one... WHY should he be asked or forced to pay for his own title defense? He shouldn't

Regardless of Rockhards views, the issue here is "MONEY". NOT Sanctioning money. In Wright's case for example, we offered to waive all sanctioning fees due to the IKF for a "3 Way World Title" between Wright and any other ISKA or WKA (The only other Worldwide organizations) World Champion a couple of years back. All we asked was the others do the same. The idea here was to unify the title, like the sport needs. However both refused so Wright's trainer actually promoted a WKA event just to get the title. It cost him a TON! Wright won so it was worth it to him. Now with all 3 World Titles, he still hasn't received a challenge. However, ISKA never listed him as a World Champion. Took the promoters money, called it a World Title, but the ISKA USA and ISKA Europe are not on the same page. One sanctioned it as a world Title (Europe) and the other acted as if it never happened. (USA) Go figure...

As far as our comment about why fighters are not challenging our IKF Champions, you misunderstood. We didn't say everyone was afraid to fight the IKF Champions, our point was, if a promoter can sanction a vacant World title from another organization (one of these local ones we've discussed) why not do it. It saves the promoter from paying for a fighter who has already proven him or herself. This is NOT just in the IKF, it's in EVERY Organization. This is just 1 example why so many other organizations have been created. But are they TRULY working FOR THE SPORT? Or are they just offering "Letters" and a title belt... You be the judge...
