Would professional boxing be better if it were setup as a leauge sport?

Hey nancy, remember when you said a judge could order someone to pay 100,000 dollars to charity.

What College you go to again?

 

thres nothing un-realistic about having two organizations u alaskin pedophile. but anyways it looks like u bitched out of this conversation like the first time u stpped foot in boxing gym so stay in a bitches place and ignore. will u take it take it to the next level and let a ***** **** in your mouth next?

 

The biggest reason boxing has died down in the US is greed.

Back to cable television:
Back to everyone, will bring in more notoreity

Back to one organization:
Too many promoters and belts and boxers duking it out for money

Possible solutions for this:
One belt, tournamet or team model.

One belt - Nuff said

Tournament:
Will make fights happen. Maybe instead of a belt we can have a championship. Similar to Olympic model or World Cup model. Championship every four years and taking fights to qualify and get ranked the other three.

Team model:
A lot of people like baseball, football, basketball because they can identify with them. They share home teams and they have history. They can make teams by city, state, country, etc.,

Capitalizing on image and merchandize:
- With team model they make playing cards, jerseys, compare stats, etc.
- Take note of popular trends right now. People hardly wear everlast, winning, grant, WBC, IBF, Top Rank, Goldenboy clothing and apparel, because it's not up to date with what kids like. Kids like the skull and bones stuff from UFC, bright colors and numbers from jerseys. If the boxing orgs could make jerseys and hats of similar distinction people would buy it.

 

you're 40 too

 

It would be better if it was ran like the UFC!

 

let me guess, u searched my username on google and that fake ass okcupid website profile popped up right? cut 40 in half and ull be closer. nice try tho :good

 

no?

you said it.

 

um... ok.

 

Just bustin your balls Cellz. If you're going to be an ass to other posters, expect it to come back. I'm just better at it then you are. But no hard feeling.

 

That right there at the end is my biggest hang up with boxing. While guys like Mayweather and Pacquiao had some good fights in their early career, they mainly became popular after fighting Delahoya. They haven't been in a lot of exciting fights since. Both have been cherry picking, making boring fights, and raking in though cause of their names.

There have been many more exciting fights such as:
Prescott vs Alvarado
Kirkland vs Angulo
Ortiz vs Berto

And those were just the ones shown on TV, who knows what we have missed.

What I also don't like about the elitism in boxing right now is that it allows popular fighters to avoid good fighters, so we don't know who the best out there are sometimes. I'm willing to say the p4p and belt rankings are skewed as a result.
