What would happen if two sanctioning bodies were to merge?

[SlySlickSmooth]

Say IBF/WBA or any two of the four bodies were to merge together, would that bring a higher importance to a new belt now that their would only be three belts, but one with a larger system of fighters?


If this were to happen where would boxing go in terms of popularity? I'm sure all these ABC belts confuse commonfolk who don't understand the words like "INTERIM WBC DIAMOND BELT HOLDER..."

Eventually the goal would be to go back to having one undisputed belt by possibly all four sanctioning bodies being forced to merge due to one merge happening between two bodies.

Of course those like WBF, NABF, IBO, etc. would still be around, but it would be obvious who THE CHAMP is. I mean at least let's just keep it to undisputed and interim if anything.

A great day for boxing.....if the wbc and Wba merge their would an emergence of lineage considering they were the first "world" alphabet titles....the ibf has a Lil clout IMO the wbo is bull**** and until fighters unified with it handy it was nothing but a belt for overhyped prospects and euro fighters

If i was a billionaire that's what i would waste my money on. Merging these ****s and creating a single governing body.

Better fights/less ducks/more quality belt-holders/a great day for fans/a horrible nightmare for fans of fighters who are protected hype-jobs.

There's already a wbf Holyfield won it in his fight with botha or whatever his name is

I think there's a ibc to there's a lot I read in ring magazine a few years ago that there is something like 200 sanctioning bodies but I'm sure he was exaggerating
But there is a lot.

it will really be great for boxing if all these governing bodies merge into one respectable world governing body....
