    I disagree. I think if your fan enough to actually spend the money on a ticket for a championship fight [not cheap approx. 4x/ppv price], then you'll sit for 15. More **** for your buck...the american way.

      It definitely should. The only problem is it's rare the amount of fights you would actually consider for the championship. In real title fights it ****ing has to be 15.

        exactly or something to that effect, if the fight is a draw they fight one last round to see who wins.

        that should be a rule across the board, unless someone quits.............

            Sure that would be great. Would be best if they lowered the glove weight as well and cut a few weight divisions. Try to take boxing back to the golden days.
            While we're on the subject, scrap ppv and have Don King and Frank Warren assassinated.

              Oh I'd LOVE that! I'm an old-school eight guy as far as divisions go, I'd keep PPV because it's better than the old closed-circuit broadcasts I remember from my youth, and I think promoters like King and Warren have come close to ruining the sport.....where's a good assasin when you need one LOL!

                  Nah, the added risk to a fighter's health is a little too much for my taste. Also it would be TERRIBLE if some (boring) fights went 15 rounds because people would lose their little interest in the fight and probably not watch it which would not be a good thing for the sport.

                    Fights should go 15 rounds again if there were no 15 round fights then Rocky Marciano would have several losses Ali might have beaten Fraizer in the first fight Fraizer would have won the thrilla in manila who knows what we have missed with only 12 round fights
