The most exciting part about this is if it works than it will do two things. It will create a platform in which boxers get more stable pay. You don't have to really worry about every fight being a super fight to bring a good check in. Which I imagine will force Top Rank and Golden Boy to have to follow the same model or risk losing their fighters to greener pastures.
The second and most exciting thing is it will put boxing back into a more recognized and respected position in the sports world. This will do great to grow the popularity of the sport. It frustrates me that boxing is not more popular than it is, or that I can't tune in to watch fights like I can a basketball game. Matthyse vs Molina should have been a much talked about sporting event. Broner vs Maidana, Alexander vs Khan, Brook vs Porter should have all been as talked about as whatever basketball or football game was on at the time.
I really hope this succeeds for the sake of the sport.
