    How to save Boxing.

    All the champs fight more than 3 times a year , against each other instead of picking fans pockets by fighting no marks and "Mandatories".

      From the rut it is in.
      Or are you satisfied with the current state of the noble art?
      For example...Heavyweight boxing.
      Or the so called "P4P" number one retiring without really fighting the best in his division?
      Or the fact we keep seeing the old guard fighting ...the old guard.
      There are a few exceptions of course.
      Maybe your happy to pay to watch ****e?
      I am not.

        I'm not satisfied with the heavyweights but if Mayweather can become a national story with just a few big fights it shows that boxing can become big within seconds. Not worried about it.

            I think judging and robbery decisions is what ruins boxing.

              Honestly if you want to save boxing, but it on network tv. Boxing is a niche sport given that you actually have to pay HBO,Showtime, and PPV in order to see the best fighters fight.

                  How many other Sports do you get to see the best contend only 3 times a year Maximum??

                  We are getting Royally screwed.

                  Imagine for example if you got Manchester united only playing against Newcastle Utd , Portsmouth and Reading.....

                  I'm sure you cats get my drift.

                  THe true legends of yesteryear were fighting minimum 5 times a year plus.
                  Sugar Ray Robinson....fought 13 times in his final year of boxing.

                  In the words of the Manic street preachers...."If you tolerate this then your children will be next...".

                    that wont save boxing. what will is a few tysons or alis or DLHs. this will create more viewers, which will create more money, which will create more gifted atheletes going into boxing, which will allow boxing to be popular once again
