Apparently, the WBC and WBA will be taking a page from the UFC and introduce bonuses for boxers who win by KO or TKO and possibly reducing a fighter's purse who coasts. They said it'll help liven up boxing and prevent dullards from exploiting the current system by posturing and using their savvy to mislead judges that a punch was thrown. They didn't mention Mayweather by name.

This should have been introduced back when Floyd Entered the Welter weight division and when Ward became a Professional fighter

As with everything in boxing they waited til its beyond obvious something like this would be good for the sport. Boxing is like a mom & pop store for all things horse related back when cars were becoming the new mode of transportation & wondering why they aren't doing as good a business as they used to.
I like this idea, but personally I'd like to see this sorta thing across the board from the 4 rounders up where everyone gets a win bonus & a KO bonus & implemented by commissions or at very least the major promoters & built into the standard contract fighters sign. I think thats the real change to make & not just make it be what will likely be a small change for the guys with belts making bank already. Lets get the guys making thousands more opportunities & breed a better type of fighter for the future. You aren't gonna change the mindset of the guys getting $100K+ very much, but if you can have a guy making $5k earning another $5k for winning &/or stopping a guy the sport is gonna be more fun to watch.
