How can boxing become more of a house hold sport/

[S.G.]

getting rid of the politics and having the best possible match-ups being made.

[hookoutofhell]

- get fighters to fight more often
- stop hyped up fighters like khan, lacy etc being considerd as the next great thing

- santioning bodies to all pick one person to represent each of them lock them all in a ring and force them all to have a free for all - last man standing is the winner and the sanctioing body he represents is considered legit and all others to be discarded. lolno just kidding but something needs to be done about the sanctioing bodies.

- stop fighters from ducking other fighters like chad dawson should have a rematch with johnson.

- we need a new heavyweight champ!!

With the crzae over MMA and the fake soap oprea WWE and all the blood and guts in the movies. You have same sex relationships in reguliar TV shows nowadays and girls constantly taking there clothes off. i was watching house the other day and I see Cutty in House's dream pole dancing in a school girl outfit refealing pretty much everything she had. All this and they are worried about boxing? Come on gimme a break?......Lefty




I agree the Friday night fights and the Young and up and coming prospects some 4 rounders and maybe ocassionaly a Championship Match gosh as we have pointed out so frequently there are plenty of those to go around...Lefty

I'm taking about fights just a notch or 2 below the PPV's. If those fighters got some mainstream exposure it could bode well for the future of our sport....BAT

I agree with these two statements here. I also suggest putting the Super HW back in place. there is no reason why a HW like Barret should be forced to fight a 7 foot 300+ pound man. these guys are too big and too slow to fight and be entertaining. If you can make it in under 235 you are a super HW.

The sanctioning bodies definetly have alot to do with things being so screwed up. There has to be better rankings system and fine you 4 belts leave it at 4. No more NABF or Intercontent belts blah blah blah....When some one vacats a belt what happened to a 4 man tourney for god sakes? I wouldn't mind seeing more fo the unifacation matches either we got 4 top WW right now why not have a unifacation tourney?...Lefty

Like a Judah Clottey or Moselt Mayorga right? I could see those going head liners on CBS Golden Boy where are you are you listening get Boxing back to main stream fo rthe fans for god sakes...Lefty

Less PPV's and more boxing on free to view tv

Edit: less PPV's for America the UK don't have that many, but more boxing on free tv will help in any country

Thats a good example. But it's more relevant towards younger up-and coming fighters. ...BAT

those are the type of fighters that generate alot of casual interest in boxing though... maybe they should just hype up the right fighters instead

In boxings golden age when i might add there was probably much more influnce by the MOB and the gamblers HW Chamop ment something. Every kid growing up wanted to become Champ. Rocky Marciano was god. Muhammad Ali wasn't only a HW Champ and the Greatest but he was and still is an Icon. Kids everywhere watched fights with their fathers or listened to them on the radio. What happened? How does the sport regain some of that golden era and feeling again?.......Explain why you think it was and can still be that way or why it was and will never be again......Lefty

it needs a boxing show on regular tv like how ufc does on syndicated channels.

That is because UK fans will fly across the Atlantic to watch Hatton or Super Joe.....They have boxing as a house hold sport in the UK along with soccer....Over here only the star come out for the big fights...the casual fan doesnt go to any of the big fights so they sell PPV events. When was the last time you saw a packed stadium Hatton packs them in all the time every fight....Lefty

By getting more kids to box, like a school boxing team or something
