How can we as a group make boxing better?

[Migs]

Better PPV's would be one of my requests..
You have a main event thats decent and then bare **** undercard fights
hate to bring up the ufc but those guys put on great matchups from start to finish
we need to follow the example...

Exactly. I hate that you have to bring up UFC too but you're right.

lol

I didnt wanna bring it up bro trust me i didnt
but you gotta look at how they put on there events
Fights that are even matchups from start to finish no mismatches
the best fighting the best and this is exactly the example Boxing needs to
follow....
Im all for putting my name down and trying to do my best to help the change

mandatory fights, not up to the promoter.
one ring belt for each division.
fighters fight an average once every two months
in a draw situation, go three more rounds.
All fighters get some kind of pension plan for retirement
cut down on ppv fights, show them on regular hbo & showtime

UFC PPVs vs boxing

in all fairness it's much EASIER for the UFC to stack cards because it's one big promotion with all the fighters in that respective organization

where boxing has Lou Dibella, Bob Arum, Don King and Golden Boy all competing for TV spots and often with each other.

which can potentially stop a fight from happening all together.

I know the "one title per weight class" is much more ideal in a perfect world, but the way it is now, I don't see how we can get from having the WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO to just 1 recongnized belt.

I'd like to see the WBC and WBA join up as with the WBO and IBF
that would make it 2 Alphabet belts per weight division vs 4

of course it's unlikely, but it would give the sport a tad more credibility if the Alphabet Org's could join with each other, rather then compete.

**I've always felt this way about boxing when topics like these come up (and it's a good topic so im not hating) but I just see Boxing as such a hard sport to market IMO since all the mainstream media and ESPN focus on boxing are either 1. the big names. 2. the **** talking and 3. the knockouts

which if you follow boxing, it's about a lot more then that.

and anyway if you disagree with the ** personally look at a sport you don't follow (for me it would be Golf and Hockey) and look why you don't watch it.

BUMP, hopefully this topic can stay alive as I'd like to hear some more opinions and tangible real world ideas how to better the sport.

We need more Big fights. More big fights. We need a big fight once a fourth-night.

Boxers fight to infrequently. This is the problem. People loose interest between big fights.

well in all fairness Boxing can be a pretty brutal sport, and they need the time to recover from injuries sustained.

sure they could fight more, but the negatives out weight the positives IMO
as the last thing we'd want to see is a Boxer come into a fight with not healed up injures and re aggravate them worse.
