of santioning bodies plain and simple!!!30 years ago there was 1 champ for each division..now you have 4 major belts and super and juinor divisons!!!!wtf...greed is killing our beloved sport..its to complicated for the casual fan to deal with...not only 4 belts but then you have regular super and interin champ with the same damn belt....its pathetic

[Eric Holder]

I agree

also


boxing should also find better ways to market itself to the younger demographic

PPVs is a problem as well. There are simply too many of them.

Then you have football, basketball, baseball, MMA all on cable or satellite, why would a casual fan bother paying attention to the lesser known names?

The promoters aren't doing enough to get it back on network tv.


I remember I used to be able to watch a fight on a Saturday afternoon on NBC. Jorge Paez and Troy Dorsey were my favorites back then.

Damn straight. It's a farce.

That's why I was annoyed earlier at kball15's thread dissing Calzaghe for talking about it. You might not like Calzaghe but he is right on this one.

yeah, too many ****in belts... there's no mechanism to make the best fight the best... that's what a belt used to be.

Not simply seen, but the right types of fights have to have the major promotions.

Vazquez Marquez I had 0 promotion. Maybe an ad on LA radio here and there, but other than that, absolutely nothing. They didn't even have t shirts for sale at the fight. The third fight was just almost as bad as far as the promotion.

I got a little card in the mail announcing the fight.
