However I'll lay it out for you. Busier fighters means more fights which means more opportunities for all fighters which means more boxing happening. Before this current lazy century, fighters often fought 4-5 times a year. Were there mismatches? Yes. Are there mismatches now? Yes. Only many fighters fought a few mismatches to stay sharp between the big fights and many guys who never got a shot, got won and sometimes won, upping their cred. The busier a sport is, the more popular it becomes. The way the sport is now, we're betting way too much on the rare fights being good, which they often are not. So very bad for boxing. With busier fighters, you get sharper fighters who are active and make more fans.
