I was slightly positive about the IBO belt awhile ago as it seems the least corrupt. However most of them started that way, it's not that different. How does a start off grow, be better than the rest, and only worsen and sell out when you can.
So I don't have a lot of faith in the IBO somehow rescuing or improving things, the contrary mostly.
I think a lot of people are disillusioned with the sport right now, there's like 5 champions in each division, what is that all about and how does a regular or mainstream viewer understand this complex garbage? They don't, they don't bother with the sport or become regulars.
If you ask me all the organisations may think their earning more money with dodgy rankings, mandatories, numerous belts and levels of them and more, but ultimately it's these things that's put people of the sport thus a smaller pie of money for them. The whole sport suffers however, especially the boxers and the fans.
