      Should have stayed at 15 ......

      Do many of you know why it was changed to 12 rounds for pro fights???

      It was because of the TV commercials - Back when boxing was always being shown on regular TV, the sponsors started complaining because it was too much boxing and not enough commercials. {Money was being lost} So the TV stations and Wide World Of Sport obliged and went to a 12-round format.

      Since PPV is the order of the day ..... we need to go back to 15 rounds.

        this one also makes a lot of sense, either 13 rounds or 15 rounds for me

          13.

          You'll never see 15 ever again, and 12 is too short. 13 is perfect.

            Co-sign, 12 is fine who would want to watch Cory Spinks or someone like that for 15 rounds, but the 13th round idea is good

              12 rounds is enough for me, 15 rounds wud be fun but the amount of people who would get injured and killed in the ring wud surely double

                  12 is ok, if we make 15 rounds fights, it'll be tougher but more dangerous for fighters'lives. Can you imagine Vargas fighting 15 rounds?

                  15 rounds was better for great fights like Duran Leonard but could you watch 15 rounds of Floyd Baldomir or worse 15 rounds of B-Hop?

                    15 rounds all the way. Ring deaths and serious injuries have not declined in any demonstable way since championship fights were reduced to 12.

                      this makes sense because there is less chance of a draw (yes, I'm aware of point deductions, knockdowns, etc.).
