What are your top 5 biggest changes you would make with the sport currently? And why? And would your changes help the sport become more popular with the mainstream public?
They tried open scoring once and it failed miserably, it would fail again.
id like it up to a certain point, the championship rounds shouldnt be shown.
fighters holding titles should be forced to be more active
15 round championship bouts
less sanctioning organizations
8oz or 10oz gloves should be optional to the fighters in any weight class
Less weight classes, way less.
Eddie Chambers On HBO Sat!!
Get your first look at unbeaten HW "fast" Eddie Chambers this sat on HBO. This guy will remind you of a young Chris Byrd, throws a lot of punches and has a nice slick style. This guy is fun to watch so tune in on sat.
Make judges show their cards from 1-12.
One belt per division.
No cruiserweight division.
No PPV.
Make fighters fight a one up or one down ranked fighter from them, Ex. Number one ranked fighter fights the number 2 ranked fighter, number 2 ranked fighter fights number 1 or 3 ranked fighter.....etc..
Only 3 months tops to prepare for a fight.
Fire Don King.
Make an all boxing channel, like NFL sunday ticket and NBA Pass.
and more
i like the idea of open scoring until the final two or three rounds, that way there is still that suspense but the fighters and fans have some sort of idea of what the judges are seeing. i think that would make for exciting finishes. i know if i were down 2 or three rounds with 3 to go, id go for broke. i think some fighters coast the final rounds because there is no way in there minds they are losing the fight and it comes back to haunt them.
15 rounds for championship fights
One belt per division
If theres 2 much holding and not enough action. The ref would have the right to card them and take 10% of their purse. That should make the fights more exciting.
1) male judges only...no offence to the women.
( unless your julie lederman )
2) Yah, eliminating the cruiser weight div sounds good. Absolutely
no money in that div. I sometimes forget there even is a
cruiser div.
3) You obviously cant kill PPV so I would reduce the charge to
$19.99 for all fights. This is reasonable.
I would mandate only one world title for each weight class and I would elminate the cruiser divison, 190+ would be considered HW. I would allow PPV, but for only selected world title fights.
I would also force mandatory medical screens and drug tests and I would also not sanction any card that doesnt preform medical evaluations and pre and post fight drug screens on the fighters on the card.
Fuse the WBO and WBC.
Then fuse the WBA and IBF.
Kill PPV.
From rounds 1-7, the judges would show their scorecards to the commentators. The scores would then be shown to the veiwers at home.
Free Ice Cream.
