just a question I thought was worth pondering. it damn sure isn't the sanctioning bodies. so, I'm all ears.
who do you think controls boxing ultimately?

No one controls boxing. Thats one of the problems. There are too many lil warlord ent^ties with power, but no one with big power really to steer & protect the sport.
But of all the ent^ties in boxing as a job category I think the promoter has the most power. But there are obvious specific people who have power to. Floyd had massive power when he was fighting. Manny still gots solid power. Haymon has power. DAZN seems to have a lot of power right now. And I'd probably argue the WBC is the most influential/powerful ABC group. Probably some more examples of non-promoters with power, but this is all thats coming to me right now.Comment

If I was an alien and came to earth, I'd probably be most interested in boxing, because of it being the most difficult, most absolute profession in the world.Comment

I think there is an entity that puts hits on certain fighters, because after watching the sport for about twenty years I can say that I've noticed irregularities follow around people who let it go to their head or follow into hollywood.No one controls boxing.
