You missed the point of my post. That point being that all sports modify their rules to make their sport more exciting.
The NFL felt that a passing game was more exciting than a running game so they amended their rules to make it a passing game. And it's worked! The NFL has never been more popular. The NBA has amended their rules to make the game more offensive. Baseball wants to speed up the game to make it more fun. Hockey has changed their rules. Soccer has changed the offsides rules. All sports do this in order to draw more butts to stadiums and eyeballs to TV's.
In boxing, since there isn't a central governing body the only thing that can be done is for the individual to step up and make himself must see TV.
