      Yes, it's very possible... The promoters just need to have their own belts, and then make the good matchups... Sanctioning bodies would be cut out

        No. At its core boxing is corrupt. Nobody wants to see a UFC model of boxing.

            The quantity is more impressive than the quality with some of those 174 fighters.

            The top fighters in a lot of divisions aren't with Haymon.

            He's no where near where the UFC is in MMA.

            The UFC is MMA in most people's minds.

              People can live with corruption -- they always lived with it.
              ... I only put to question the quality level of entertainment.

                  ... As long as UFC is the largest Mixed Martial Arts promotion company in the world...

                    if you look through history the game never thrived as it did when it had all of the corruption. The advent of the television helped a ton but still..........

                    More belts is the last thing that boxing needs.
