If you had 100 million pounds to invest in the sport, what would you do with it? Would you set up a TV channel, use it for promotion to stage super fights or use it to clean up the sport?
Promoting and matchmaking. Try and make things a bit more simple. Also I'd buy Derek Chisora, I reckon he'd be great to have round the house.
Id set my own promotional company. Make sure that fights like fury-price and the barker,macklin and murray domestic fights happen. Wouldn't bother with making fights in america just make sure big domestic fights don't fall through. I'd also try to bring big fights to the uk like kahn-mayweather if it ever happens and froch-bute
I wouldnt invest anything in Boxing, its corrupt and its stuck in the history of the Sport no amount can clean it up. What other Sport do you know of that gives the homefighter the win even if they actually lost! :huh
I'd need more than £100m but... Buy out all financial interests in the WBA, WBC, WBO and IBF. Create one belt, one organisation and then start again on the rule book with things like mandatories, rankings and so on. And also create a pension for retired boxers who dont manage to make mega bucks. And hopefully earn a massive wedge out of it all!
I wouldn't try to clean up the sport because it is impossible. It's like trying to win the war against terrorism or the war against drugs.:good I wouldn't set up a TV channel, because a TV channel dedicated only to boxing would take a lot more than 100m to make boxing popular. Not only that, but there are plenty of TV channels out there who show boxing events to millions around the world. I would use 75% to promote tournaments (a bit like the super 6) involving up-and-coming prospects/ young champs with little visibility in exchange for a share of their future income. :good The other 25% I would use to set up boxing schools in really poor, violent areas around the world and help promote the most talented fighters that fight their way through.:good
