Where the Bureaucacy of boxing looses power:
In this day of age of the so called "Prize Fighters & high power promoters", the Bureaucacy of the Sanctioning bodies & Boxing Commisions give way to the mighty dollar. Since when do the boxers and promoters are the shot callers as to what are the requirements so that they can have their Multi-Million Dollar fights. I am disgusted with promoters, for example this fight beween Pacquiao & Margarito is going to reveal where Bob Arum is going to seize to be Margarito's promote and prove to be on the Pac-Man Express. His sole obligation is to look out for his fighters wealthfare. Paquiao is now requesting Margarito to fight at 150lbs for a title at Super Welterweight Division aka Junoir Middleweight DIV. Last time I checked the weight limit is from 147.1 to 154lbs not 150lbs. Fighting a depleted fighter is also not a fair advantage and can have severe implications on a boxer's health, just ask Oscar De La Hoya. I take nothing away from the Pac-Man but the majority of his fights are won at the scales. As I have stated again and again Freddy Roach is the Grand Master Chess Player in the sport of boxing.
The only request that a boxer and the boxing fans have is to request Olympic Style Drug Testing, for the amount of money we are paying for event tickets and PPV's we deserve a clean honest fight. Being on anabolic steroids or HGH and/or doping is like having your gloves loaded. So my vote is to have these types of test its time to clean out the sport the UFC is testing for juice aka gear why not the boxing world. For goodness sake todays PPV's suck compared to befores, as a child I remember there were like 5 to 6 undercards before the Main Event now you get 2 if you are lucky then the Main Event.
Here are some rules I think the sport needs, Champions need to fight at least three times a year unless they are getting surgery bacause this BS that they fight a year is just that BS. A fighters pay should be able to be deducted for not fighting during a fight much like the fighters of the Pride Fighting Championship organization from Japan. Olympic Style testing for fighters and 10% of a fighter's purse should be deducted for a retirement pension regardless of the situation "mandatory". A boxer should be able to get an automatic release from his promoter if the promoter in question is unable to secure a bout for his fighter every 6 months unless the fighter signs a waiver every time he refuses to fight in a 6 month period.
In conclusion fight fans I will not be watching the Paquiao-Margarito fight if there is a catch weight.
