This is the type of BS that gives boxing a bad name. How can the biggest fight in boxing history, not happen b/c of something so arbitrary?? I dont blam either of the fighters, i blame BOXING! the sport is so corrupt with the underhanded, behind the scene dealings of promoters and managers. To the sometimes flat out injustices of judges cheating a fighter.
We as fans need and want a commsioner like David Stern or Roger Goddell to be able to officiate the goings ons of day to day boxing. Then the boxers can have their own union that will set up pensions and stuff for them. One of the biggest problems are the promoters. they have free reign of the sport. with the ability to make or not make fights. with a commissioner, they would have someone to answer to or risk that they could be suspended for a length of time or fined. Although having a commisioner may not gaurantee us all the big fights, but im sure as fans we will get most of the fights we want, almost wehn we want then.
we need rules and guidelines for the the entire country, not state to state commisions or rules. BOXING needs to get it together. and we as fans need to pressure the sport into becoming better. Im a HUGE fan and this what we all should do...boycott both of these fighters next fight. no PPV buys or ticket sales. let them know who they really work for and who pays them
