    It would be nice if most fighters at least would fight three or four times a year. Having one or two fights a year for the big stars hurts the sport more.
    This is true.

        Do you want to go back to the days when dudes behind the scenes not actually fighting made all the cash while the men that pour their life into the sport ended up broken men with nothing to show for it.

        Please I would rather boxers end up getting well paid so maybe they have a chance at living a quality life~
        It'd be nice if the purses actually trickle down to the undercards, instead of the main event making 99% of the profit; and leaving the undercard with the scraps.

          Look at the UFC their top guys salaries are dog **** compared to boxers top guys. But which sport has a larger younger following?

          Kids dont start boxing because they think they will be rich one day seeing as far less then 1% of boxers ever make a living of the sport.

            Very few guys actually make it in the sport, but it is a star driven business, it would be nice in any star driven business if more money got spread around but without the star the show would not make near as much money thus there would not be any to go around.
