"Boxing needs to speedup and face up. The amateur Street fighting Sport is doing more which much much less by having more fights happening and more of the top brawlers are facing each other. Of course not for Pro money, but still keeping most of the attention of the "Other sports" average fan watching. Frequent Big fights will maybe drop a little on demand, but One Big fight a month would make IMO more money. Demand would have to challenge to keep up with the best fights. Promoters are bloodsuckers and without them I think the sport and those practice the sport will have the benefit of safety obtions after all they should make their own money if they can. While the Big shots attempt to create more demand for more money, who feeds the hard core Boxing fan? Who waits some times in vain to watch the fights WE want to see.
Too much cats eating out of the same can.
Allow the boxers to negotiate before getting to money negotiations, even that I defer with the current drug screening systems. It should be taken seriously and left to the private sector options to be agreed by the boxers and it has to be one to stay current new technology. The fights should be screened privately by a neutral outsource to assure fairness. Safety should increase to create a balance for the boxers. This is a hardcore Sport. Bottom line is that in Boxing while on steroid power can and will bring serious injuries and death. The Screening systems need to be updated for the new products out there. When such of money is in play, I think boxers should be DNA screed. The money is there and it will insure the lives of boxers.
But deep inside, everybody knows that Boxing is the ultimate Mano a Mano sport. Boxers are ones absorbing the liability and the consequences."
