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
