The best fighters in each weight class should start fighting each other on a regular basis of their own free will.. Then no tournament would be needed. I'm not a big fan of most of these six man tournaments. They seem to take forever to complete and six good boxers are committed to the tournament for up to two years. Somebody always gets injured in training making them last even longer. Usually there are only 3 or 4 standouts in each weight class and at least two guys in the 6 man tournament don't really belong there and have a very small chance to win the tournament. Boxers being under contract to a network and not allowed to fight on any other network really hurts boxing in my opinion. In many weight classes the best fighter in that class could be determined in just three fights. The four best fighters pair off and fight each other and the winners of those two fights fight each other and you have your true champion.

The Concept is fine, but it's not really practical. People forget that the last Super 6 tournament lasted 2 years and by the time it was finished no one really gave a ****. Check the ratings and the attendance for the Froch-Ward fight. It took place in Altantic City and it was a ghost town. Part of the reason was that you had fighters dropping out, fighters coming in short notice, injuries, etc. One of the flaws was that the fights weren't staged at the same day.

To have a tournament like this work, you need to have like 3 of the fights on the same card on the same night. What happened in the Super Six was you had fights place at different times, sometimes months apart.

PBC is structured well enough that they could stage a tournament style format. Because they have no problem putting on 3 high profile fights on one card. But when you start introducing other promoters it just doesn't work.

Also, the tournament only really works when you have fighters that have the same profile. You're not going to be able to attract cash cows to enter these tournaments against fighters with lesser names. Because otherwise who's benefiting more from that? It's the fighters with lesser names.
