Essentially, a commissioner.

By Jove, you've got it! I couldn't think of the word for the life of me.

Brother however it happens I pray youre right. Boxing would return to the throne with reinstating 1 weight 1 champ. You can have 173,848 promo companies that are all corrupt but if theres ONE BELT then people will jostle for mandatory positions and all the sudden you getting terrific fights every time out

Great post! I agree % with ya

They probably got together to just party and collect fees . they know what they're doing and they know that popular boxers get paid very very well , so as long as the money is there not much will change .

I'm good with having multiple sanctioning bodies since total control under one entity is a pathway to doom, whether in sports or politics or anywhere. But, a lot needs to improve in their cooperation to get what we fans all desire: the best fighting the best for undisputed status in every weight class. Hopefully, they'll be able to get us closer to that reality.

There is absolutely nothing good that comes from having 4 sanctioning bodies. 4 sanctioning bodies with 18 weight classes(new Bridgeweight ) leads to many weight class champions like Russell, Crawford, Haney, damn near any UK fighter, being happy with their 1 mandatory per year as people will constantly want unification fights. Having 3 was too many before the WBO became a major title and now we have 4. And let's not forget the multiple champions with the WBA and the WBC franchise bs. 4 is too many and it's got to stop. 1 belt. ****, just look at the WWE and how bad they've fallen off with the 2 major titles(smackdown and raw) to go with their 7 other titles. **** is bad. At the most 2 champions , but even that leads to confusion and bs. If there were only 2 champions in boxing today at 147 and they were Crawford along with Spence, they still wouldn't face each other.

one that can't be bought and has NO RELATIONSHIP WHATSOEVER with Hearn, DLH, King, Arum, or Haymon.

No mention of the WBO's cozy relationship with Top Rank or Frank Warren, Jake?

Why is the boxing media so terrified to speak the truth about certain promoters?
