Boxing throughout the years in the USA and Britain has always depended on the small hall fighters and promoters coming through. Today however, this grassroots segment of the fight game is in a state of decline.

It is amazing the sport survives. People just wont spend the money to watch up and coming fighters it seems. I think if they were to have a boxing commission, I think a good idea would be for it to re-invest the earnings from the mega purses back to the grass roots club fights. Its necessary to keep the sport going.
