Boxing needs a commission!

Thanks for the News Flash.

I doubt you will find a person who doesn;t agree on this. the question is.. how? You would have to lure or take all the fighters away from all the organizations now and make a new one or put them all into one. Problem is Boxing is an international sport. So you would have to have one comission in charge of a certain amount of countries and their champs, and another for another set of countries and so on. then you would compeat in your own league.. such as in FIFA or any other national sport. then you would have a global thing every some years. This would give you one world title fight like every 4 years or whatever the set the date to. So it wouldn't work out that well either. You could have the North American & Central America Champ, South America Champ, European Champ etc... That right there makes a lot of champs. and they would only get a World title shot every such and such years. I DON'T THINK IT WOULD WORK OUT ALL THAT WELL!

Well if the fans decide not to watch or buy tickets to any of the "rogue" promotions of a championship fight then shit would change. actually we dont need the alphabet comissions to do it. we already recognize the "ring" champion as the real champ. really the other so-called champs are irrelevant. if a fighter doesnt apply and become registered as a "ring" boxer, then he doesnt fight. and of course we would have the get the states sanctioning bodies to help out by not sanctioning any of the "rogue" promotions. yea it will take a lot to make it happen, but it can be done. us a fans just have to DEMAND it

I think there's definately a lot of merit in this idea. The only problem is that in reality it will be so hard to enforce in a sensible way. Yes you could always try and merge the sanctioning bodies, but there is virtually nothing you can do to stop new ones being setup to fill the voids. Once an opportunity arises to promote a big money bout all it takes is for someone with enough cash to label the fight a world title fight, and all of a sudden you'll have a load of other fighters looking to get in on this new world title which brings more money or is easier to obtain.

The commisions will never go for it. They're making money left, right and center from fighters representing their belts.

I think it would be a great idea but the process would take forever I feel.

what does anybody think about this

they are just new commisions trying to make more money.

the WBC, IBF, WBO, IBO and all the other belts get extra money for thier commisions. if they take away all those belts, the commisions would lose thier money. when they make all those belts, they just make boxing confusing and let people know how greedy they are. and there are alot of divisions out there that are still not unified. like the heavyweight division and the juniormiddleweight division. there would be more boxing fans if the public new who the real champion in the division is. instead, there are about 4 or 5 champions. and that is just the recognized belts. there are still belts out there that i never heard of. for example, roy jones has an IBC lightheavyweight belt. i dont know where that one came from.:boxing: Yer. never heard of it either. also, wat are IBO, IBA n stuff ?

But dont you think that they could make just as much money with just one champ? i mean even the top contenders could make good money b/c the public will watch. why will they watch? b/c they know its gonna be a good matchup...not only would the champ regain its credibility for being the champ, but the #1 contender spot would be important as well. b/c fighter would want that #1 spot just as much as the title belt. IMO i just think the sport has too much talent and potential stars to have only 1 or 2 self promoters and 1 who is the "cash cow" and is making all the money albeit only fighting once a yr. lets get it together

I agree. they have all those belts scattered all across the place and all those weight classes. I wish they would go back to the old days when there were only one belt per division and only 6 weight classes. they should take all the junior and super divisions away. there should only be flyweight, lightweight, welterweight, middleweight, lightheavyweight, and heavyweight. They just throw all those other belts in there to be greedy and get more money.:boxing:
