          I can't envision how he does it unless he teams up with someone. The reality with boxing is names sell & you can't make any big moves without the names in on it too.

              Idk about that. I think IF the right people teamed up they could make boxing a more mainstream sport & "fix" some of the problems with boxing.

              Thing is Dana is too much of an outsider & I'll be super surprised if anyone is reallllllly willing to work with him THAT much with their big names.

              I think Dana is gonna be like Eddie Hearn-lite with signing free agents. And Eddie was pretty light already with signing US names so thats really saying some sh^t.

                Boxing has always been this way, it does not need fixing.

                It must be the most heavily criticized sport in the world.

                Max Kellerman pretty much sums it up here 'He stated that people always complain in boxing that? They want to know who is the best NOW. When in reality what people yearn for is uncertainty/speculation 'They what drama'

                What I am stating is? We all knew who was the best during the Kiltschko era, and people complained that it was boring. And the fact of the matter was, is that the Kiltschko's fought everyone, there was no ducking.

                If boxing had a UFC type model, I can assure you all? It was soon start to bothering boxing supporters. 'We all deep down enjoy the uncertainty, speculation, and the way things seem to unfold in boxing at times'.

                Never at any point in boxing history, have things been simple. Never at any point where people quite certain of who is going to face who and when 'It has always been this way'.

                  Bare knuckle existence doesn't bother the UFC.

                    The UFC put on solid fight cards and the best fight the best. It's one business working with one tv network. Too many working parts in the business of boxing to make big changes take place. The man works hard to make fans happy.
