If you ran boxing, what would you do?

[!! Shawn]

Id make it so that if a fighter exceeded the contracted weight on fight night, they had to wear 20 ounce gloves, fighter who stay on weight get to wear 8 ounce gloves.

if i ran it? there's a difference between what i'd say that id' do and what i'd actually do.

i wouldn't pass up the opportunity to make quick, easy millions. anybody who says he would is either lying or naive. i'd try and make several million and retire in my mid 30's.


i'd try and get fighters of a certain pay grade to unionize. health insurance would be the main reason for that. it's been attempted before. it's not going to be easy.

What changes would you make?

Simple: Reinstate the mandatory "unified world title" for each division... Above all boxing authorities to date...

that will make promoting more difficult. it's a huge selling point to be able to write "world championship," on the poster for a casino fight.

i don't support any of the alphabet organizations, and agree that the sport would be better without them, but basically everybody would make less money. that includes the fighters.

My contributions:

-Same day weight-in

-One Champion per Div

-Champ must face #1 Ranked within 6 months of winning Championship, and can only face 1-3 Ranked thereafter

-Add one more glove size for LHW-HW (14oz)

-No Promotoer/Fighter attached to Network, the Network will bit eachother for the fight - highest bid get the fight

-Get caught cheating automatic 2 year to life ban (depending on offence)

-Missed weight in fighter losses all his purse (minus cost of camp tngr, conditioning, etc)

I'd segregate by style... so boring boxers can fight other boring boxers and let them taste the wrath of the unpaying public.
