Ugh why would boxers get their own special wing and Mu Thai fighers, Ju Jitsu fighters, Kickboxers, and Wrestlers all get lumped together?

I would want boxers to be held to the same expectations as anyother fighter in the UFC.

So that boxing as a sport stays intact.......but with ONE organization behind it....not this goddamn circus we got now....

The only thing boxing needs is one governing body like the NBA, NFL, or MLB. Throw out the alphabet belts and promoters.

I'm no mma dude, but if boxing operated as a single entity like UFC, that would be great for the fans, especially if more fights were on regular cable or free tv.

This does not have anything to do with UFC, boxing just needs one governing body that will have rankings for each division and one champion per division and have the best fight the best.
