    What are the solutions to these IBF, WBC, WBO, etc. mismatches?

    Any way we as fans can make these ****** IBF bodies hold accountable for the fights they've been putting out there?
    They've been getting away with it and not being penalized for it.
    When is it going to end?
    Fans should have the right to sue these bastards.

      They don't even have any capacity to make adjustments.
      Spence KO'd Algieri, Brook KO'd Bizier.
      They both became available for the title fight.
      Instead, IBF insisted on making Spence vs Bundu first.
      A complete waste of time.
      Brook was tempted to take the Glovkin fight in the interim and got injured.
      You know the rest of the story.
      These bodies have become destroyers of the sport.
      They're not helping to make things right.

        They rule themselves & don't have to really answer to anyone outside of the rules & regulations of commissions & laws in various countries. Bout the only way to stop them from doing sh^t is to end them, but idk how you end them w/o getting the government involved or herd cats & get all of boxings other powers that be to agree they need to be ended.

          Have there only be 1 sanctioning body. And have every boxer in the world abide by it's rules.

          You'd see the top 15 rankings be full of quality if that happened.

            Broadcasters shouldn't televise these types of fights. At least premium channels like HBO/Showtime. This would probably result in a smaller purse for the fighters since there wouldn't be any money from a licensing fee, meaning the sanctioning bodies get an even smaller cut.

            There's no excuse for a fight like Spence vs Ocampo headlining a Showtime card.

              The problem, is just like every league in the country has...there is only so much elite level opposition...

              Unfortunately we are always going to end up with mismatches, and it's not just the ranking bodies, it's the fighters themselves.

              If Shawn Porter is ranked both #1 in the IBF and WBC, and can fight either Danny Garcia or Errol Spence, which way you think he goes? That's not a sanctioning body problem.

              Yeah, tell networks not to show their stars...that'll work.


              Fans are as much of the problem as anybody else....

              1 million of you paid to see Canelo-Chaves Jr., yet a quarter of that amount paid to see Ward-Kovalev.

              If you're a network exec, responsible for drawing eyeballs to your channel, which of those guys are you showing?

              We can complain and moan, all we want, but none of you will refrain from watching, if your favorite fighter is on t.v.

                  How can you be a fan and not be furious about the mismatches these organizations are coming up with?

                    More Eliminator and or do Cards with 4 Fighter Eliminator Round-Robin Tournaments. Last night was a waste, instead Yordenis Ugas vs Ocampo should've been ordered as a final eliminator for a shot at Spence Jr. instead they picked the next man up and we got stuck with a crappy match up.

                    When you do have Eliminators maybe don't make them wait a full year to finally get their shot and people completely forget that they earned their spot in a Eliminator like the IBF did with Derevyenchenko vs Tureano Johnson and now people think that Derevyenchenko was just given his #1 Spot because they forgot about that Eliminator which was a quality eliminator at the time!

                    Also if guys walk away from Eliminators and Mandatory Match Ups they should suffer on ALL belt organization ranks they should not be allowed to run to the easier path to a title!
