Yeah, if you go to Google University Library, BJS is associated with ring size issues.
Don't care that much to look that's why I paraphrased a quote of his
I don't know about the carnela thing but I remember how happy he (BJS) was with the ring against lemiuex. Paraphrasing "I saw the ring before the fight and was happy how big it was cause I knew for sure I was gonna win"
Making it seem like he or his team didn't bring it up in negotiations. But if that's the case golden boy or EOTT promotions dropped the ball.

Look how huge the size of this ring is.
This is one of the undercards in the Billy Joe Saunders vs David Lemieux fight:

Canelo Alvarez vs Billy Joe Saunders
BJS I think didn't run around (or disengage) too much in this fight because he was criticized for demanding a huge ring obviously making it appear he's going to do the same in the Lemieux fight. "I'm not David Lemieux," said Alvarez when things began to unravel for BJS.

Golden Boy and Frank Warren’s Queensbury Promotions were the main players as EOTT played a very small part in the negotiations for this fight
I haven't given much thought about this until Billy Joe Saunders made a ruckus in the media when he was demanding a large ring in the Canelo fight. Then I checked out his fight against David Lemieux on Youtube and man it was hyuuge! The undercards on lighter weights in that boxing event looked like dwarfs! And BJS's fight with Lemieux was what encouraged him to call out the Mexican superstar. He was so proud of his work in that fight.
It indeed makes a huge difference on boxers whose game plan is to run in a fight.

Yeah, it makes no sense watching a guy running in circles the majority of a mere 3 minute per round fight. Investor's money going straight down the drain. Money that should have been spent on deserving fighters. Who would want to see such garbage again?

I don't see any promoter or investor going against this idea. It's their money that is on the line. They also try to spend less as they possibly can. A smaller ring might save them a few thousand dollars. I'd be surprised to see a promoter being against this.
Can't believe how small the ring was last night for the Vito fight. I'm all for it. If you want the payday, fight in the smaller ring or forever be a duck.
Turki should do it. He's the one getting slammed by critics when his fights are boring to watch. Why not? I don't see anyone who would stop him from implementing it.

Go 18’ x 18’, Your Excellency.
And maybe even experiment with 16’ x 16’ like they used to have back in the 1920’s through 1940’s. Let’s see how viable that is.
No Tom and Jerrys would survive that.
I think they should stick to the standard 20x20. No more 22’. Maybe go 18x18 at the smallest.
I remember watching MBilli fight Desmond Nicholson in Canada , and every time Nicholson took a step back and he wasn’t “running”, he was basically already on the ropes in what I believe was a 16x16 ring. I know we don’t want “runners” but that’s definitely too small, and I wouldn’t want personally.
What's your opinion on this?
Is it a good idea to reduce the size of the ring to avoid too much running in boxing?
We can't complain about the weather all the time and not do anything about it.
