You have $900,000,000 to takeover boxing, how do you attack?

The main thing that I would do is cut down the confusion. Put it on less channels and more consistent times. Instead of doing a show on 5 channels in 5 weeks and a Thursday one week, then a Saturday, then a Monday; do a time buy for say Saturday nights at 9:00. I would put all action packed fights that will bring in casuals on that weekly show on say Spike bc it has a high male viewership (reruns when you don't have a live show). Replace that occasionally with couple of big Saturday nights fights on NBC with top guys in top matchups and have a smaller third channel (fox sports or something) for up and comers, middle of the road guys and frankly guys who aren't drawing the numbers. 3 channels but keep the channels consistent, keep the times consistent and make sure people know what they're getting. If they watch NBC, they know they are getting a top level fight; if they watch Spike, they can expect action and the fox sports will be more for the hardcore fans.

A lot of fans have moved on or complain about boxing as much if not more than they watch the fights is cuz boxing has been f#cking around with 4 world champions and playing games and marinating the fights wanna see right now. It's not like boxing fans just been mad. You even see fans get mad in other sports when leagues and players can't come to an agreement and the players go on strike. Boxing gots epic levels of bad karma with fans cuz the sport hasnt given fans what it wants on a regular basis in decades. Very Possible! As a boxing fan that SUCKS but I totally understand why Casuals have turned off boxing all together and is watching stuff like the UFC and every other sport instead of Boxing

Another angle could be concentrating on only one division and completely taking over. Commiting to signing and showcasing fighters from that weight class and no others. If it was the Heavyweights you chose, could even run with a wCw gimmick, "Home of the Big Boys".

Ya the sport is absolute sh1t of course people are going to complain about it or turn their backs on it. People are acting like boxing is operating at its full potential and yet people are still complaining. Boxing is almost a complete joke to the rest of the world and we look like idiots supporting the multiple belt holders, mismatches, and bull**** fight marination. Really the only people supporting this current garbage are literal retards or phaggots who are enamoured by boxers. Other than that, no sane person thinks boxing is actually good.

The majority of that money would be used to somehow lessen the amount of different belts in each division. Only if it was a permanent change though. Also try to pay for some other changes; morning of the fight weigh-ins, no catchweights, rounds end on a knockdown, etc. :dance: Looking at it another way, $900m should be enough to buy out the contracts of the lineal champions of each division. So you have THE man in each weight class and you install them as your own promotions champion. Opponents only get a shot if they agree that you have options to buy their contract if victorious. From day one you never stage a fight for any governing body's alphabet titles, not even the RING magazine title.

Shift focus away from "individual performance" to "overal performance of boxing gyms". Create an official boxing league containing 24 gyms world wide. Pay floyd with stock options to tweet about it. Build an application for fans to pay a subscription to have 24/7 access to everything happening in their favorite gym. Sell advertising space during season and playoffs. I am only charging 100k and 1% ownership for the remaining details of the business plan. classic genius floyd fan logic and business master plan. LOL

I'd skim 10% off the top and put it in an off-shore safe haven.

First I'd change everything about boxing...from the boring ring announcer to the hot ring card girls, the walk ins to good music...all gone.. Then I'd sign a Bunch of fighters as their "manager" and take 10-15% of every purse they make that I pay out of money invested in me... Then I'd put some of the worse cards on multiple channels, sometimes in the same week and not advertise any of them letting people just wonder where they can find the fights... I'd let my guys get paid huge amounts( again my 10-15%) to fight stiffs once a year, maybe even twice if they really wanna push their limits... Lastly I'd never do an interview or be seen in public, I'd just let people guess my intentions and business plan, leading to speculation, jealousy, maybe even hatred by some... That's just some of what I'd do ;) ^^^^^^^^^^ The blueprint for success right here.

Waste of time and money. The sport is just producing divas and duckers. 2 to 3 wins in a row, you can't talk to him anymore like a human being. He wants huge money. I'd rather spend them in FNF types where newcomers can introduce and expose themselves without getting paid too much. It's a win win situation. I scratch your back, you scratch mine.

I wouldn't bother. Boxing just isn't that popular. You can throw billions of dollars at boxing but at the end of the day it's still boxing and people have moved on to other forms of entertainment. Agree With This 100%! Boxing is not worth investing in especially considering how FICKLE boxing fans are. It is not Loyalty in boxing and that goes for the fighters, promoters, mangers and FANS. Why even bother, you invest in it and it is nothing but negativity from "Boxing Fans"

I would over pay for even more matches so that I can legally cash in on 10% of that 900 mil.

i'd take my 900 stacks and run far, far away. you will never profit from such a dying sport where even the athletes competing in it are losing respect.

I would scout amateur bouts world wide and start having contracts signed with the best amateur fighters. Get Americans signed as young as 16 with Parent consent of course, go into Eastern Europe to sign fighters open up some gyms in the toughest neighborhoods of Easter Europe to entice some of these kids to become fighters and have the contracts ready to sign on promising fighters. I would also open up more Gyms in Mexico since gyms are limited only to big City kids. Scout and start signing contracts with young fighters as young as 14 all my contracts will be for 10 years for a start. Pay them bonuses for KO's as UFC did. Work a deal with free TV what I mean is channel 4 and 7 again and have it like the old days when these programs are programed at least 1 or 2 times a month so the poor have access in watching the fights. I would bring back Box de Mexico as they had in the 70's and 80's and I would work with Putin in getting some weekly televised boxing shows to interest the youth

if they're following ufc then we'll have top fighters fighting each other more often

I would pay myself 450,000,000 to fight my older brother and pay him the other 450,000,000 and cash out. You stay ducking

By doing what the UFC did in its early days book nothing but wild fights that the casual will like

Can you even buy a sanctioning body? I mean I think they are all considered nonprofit organizations too so that would be a weird thing to sell/buy. Has a alphabet group been sold before? How much for? Offers made at least? Something tells me you'd have about as much success buying the WBC as you would buying the Nevada Athletic Commission, but maybe I'm wrong. Private equity firms buy up non-profit hospitals and convert them to for profit. I don't know how this would work but the point is a UFC type mdel can't co-exist with 4 sanctioning bodies.

spend it so i can see floyd-danny garcia, floyd-broner, and floyd-josesito lopez

cruise spend the money getting a hit man too shut you up.
