    How would you have your boxing league/company

    Curious to hear what others would have if they owned/ran their own boxing league/company. What changes would they make. (This is more of a list of fantasy/what people think, moreso than trying to argue on why somethings won't work- but feel free to debate if you choose).

    But if I had my own boxing league I'd make it:

    -same day weigh ins
    -fighters can be no more than 2-3 pounds heavier than their opponent on fight night in the ring
    -if there's a draw after 12, have 1 round overtime that's 1:30 instead of 3:00
    -5 judges(one in each corner plus 1 watching a live monitor of what we see at home)
    -1 belt per division
    -best must fight each other
    -everyone fights minimum 3-4 fights a year
    -no in-between weight classes, just lightweight, welterweight, middleweight, etc
    -open scoring
    -winner gets paid 80% of purse
    -judges get fined for ****** results
    -if someone makes a challenge to someone, has to accept, no ducking

    of course these are far fetched but again, just curious to hear what others would do vs actually debate over it

    Are you trying to make money or are you trying to make the sport better?

    To better the sport:

    -one champion

    -same day weigh-in

    -standard weight classes (>205lbs, 205lbs, 190lbs, 175lbs, 168lbs, 161lbs, 154lbs, 147lbs, 140lbs, 133lbs, 126lbs, 119lbs, 112lbs, 105lbs, <105lbs)

    -15-round world title fights, 12 rounds for regional titles (Euro, North American, Oceana, British)

    -Mandatory defense within 10-14 months of prior defense (will be stripped if mandatory is not made).

    -5 official judges (one scorer on each side of the ring, plus the referee)

    -composite scorecards (three of the 5 judges have to agree on round; if the judges split 2-2, the ref's score for the round breaks the tie)

    -etc

      Same day weigh-ins and rehydration clauses--you cannot be more than 5 lbs. heavier than opponent upon entering the ring unless you are a HW.

      One belt, one champ for each weight class.

      15-round title fights.

      Champion must defend title against mandatory challenger at least 3x per year.

      Rankings are determined by who you beat to get to the number 2, 3, 4, spot etc. You earn your way to the #1 spot unlike today.

      In an effort to eliminate robberies, a decision can be overturned if there was an error made by judges or upon further review and scoring via video replay.
