    Could it happen, how good would it be.

    Instead of buying a club he buys the WBC, IBF, WBA and WBO. Sets up unification tournements and after 1-2 years we have a singular champion in each division.

    Instead of buying players he makes major fights. Offers Mayweather & Pacquiao offeres they cannot refuse.

    We can all dream.

    Funny you say that i was thinking about this just the other day.

    The problem is i think boxing would have to suffer a momentous crash and lose all television support before this could happen. The Ambramovic would then build up boxing again making the fights

    As you say we can all dream

    In terms of making the fights yes, in terms of buying the governing bodies, know. How much can there 4 of them be worth.

    Nah, you'd just get 2 new boxing organization cropping up, Top Rank and Golden Boy would probably use it as an excuse to set up house titles

    But if fans and TV stations can so clearly see 1 superior title, will they take notice?

    That would be great. But how much would it cost to buy the WBA, WBO, IBF and WBC? It would be a dream if each division only had one champion.

    Yes, I think the fans would just treat any new organisation like the WBU or the IBO. No one would pay attention to it or care about it.

    this is on the lines of what oscar was talking about a few weeks ago when he was comparing boxing to the ufc model. Stacking cards and getting the big fights made.

    Easier to make the fights but a lot harder to sell them!
