    Will Boxing suffer the same problems in 5 or 10 years from now with Promoters?

    Will there be the problems of meaningless belts in the division, insane demands from IBF/WBO/WBC/WBA will there be too many in house fights and fighters not fighting each other because of the promotional company they are with?

        Yes. Until there is a universal commission with unlimited authority, boxing will be plagued with these problems.

          Sanctioning bodies and promoters will continue to screw the sport. There are no signs this will go away in the next five to ten years.

              Yes. As long as there is a money precedent backed by extreme greed and corruption along with no honest oversight it will be the same from here until it shrinks away into nothing. Corruption, greed, and demand for high revenue and cowardice are here to stay and with that so is the downfall of boxing. Depressing, isn't it? Burp.

                as long as there isn't ONE regulatory body/commission to organize the sport, boxing will continue its steadily decline for the foreseeable future.
