    It feels like they really stagnate divisions. Thoughts?

      100%

      Rematch clauses have always been a thing or at least for a while but this recent phenomenon of having a rematch clause for every fight is ridiculous.

          Reform lmao?!?

          Dumb idea. Nobody has to sign anything they don't want to sign.

            I think there should definitely be none for mandatories like Wlad used to do and now Eddie Hearn does for his fighters. But if they reach a deal before purse bids, I suppose there’s not a lot anybody can do because it’s part of the agreement both sides reached

            but I think governing bodies could still step in and say anyone who is in the mandatory spot isn’t allowed to have a rematch clause put on them

            If it’s a voluntary then I don’t mind too much.

              Yes I would. People only fight once or twice a year these days so they are pointless.

                Yes, rematch clauses should be outlawed in boxing. I would hate to see another situation like the ridiculous, never ending Fury/Wilder saga. If that farce hadn't happened we would have an undisputed world HW champion now, which would have been great for the whole sport.

                  They’re coerced into it though, if you actually understood how the business worked you’d understand. You essentially can’t get a voluntary shot anymore without signing a rematch clause. The B side essentially has to win twice whilst the A side essentially only has to win 1 out of 2 fights.

                  People were willingly signing deals with Don King when he was robbing them blind prior to the Ali act in the late 90’s.

                    Same with AJ-Ruiz and AJ-Usyk. Everyone is guilty of doing it.
