Boxing Must Copy The Ufc/wwf If Its Goint To Survive

The WWF has never effected boxing and that has been arounf for donkeys. The UFC is doing exceedingly well, but boxing hasnt suffered, we are coming off a great 2007.

All we need is a exciting heavyweight to be the face of the sport and then the worry that boxing fans are feeling right now will fade away!

 

There is a huge Cruiserwieght "Unification" between WBC,WBA champion David Haye and WBO champion Enzo Macrrinelli happening next week at the
O2 arena in London.

In Britain at least it is a megafight.

 

the big fights have got to start producing some electricity and some of these fighters have got to inspire the fans. Boring slapfests and safety first bouts that disappoint for 50 and 60 dollars a pop, These fights have got to entertain like they used to.

That Klitchko vs Ibragimov debacle, the PBF vs DLH sparring session was a big disappiontment and now a rematch? Hatton ducking Witter.......guys fighting setups and padding their records and good fighters being avoided example PBF avoiding Cotto. thats whats killing boxing.

The MMA with tough guy weekend warriors are spilling over and if their bouts are exciting and provide greater entertainment and thrills. Remember no one has ever lost money underestimating the intelligence of the American people. The MMA with its bull**** will become greater while Boxing diminishes if boxing doesnt get their act together.

 

No,No,No,No,No, we need to keep it old school

 

UFC is a promotional company and will lose it control over the market, They are simply not paying there fighters the right money it will destroy them and boxing is a wide world sport, not just USA there is money ever where and if you are good enough, you can become a very rich man.

 

As a poster a few months ago told me in another thread, Boxing has become more globally popular, which means Boxing is bigger now than ever, unfortunately the United States is one of the exceptions. I wish we could have the great 90's Heavyweights back, it was a time were the belt holders actually had alot talent and fought like warriors, too bad now all we get is glorified sparring sessions or talentless slugfests, that make you think "Where have all the good times gone".

 

Boxing is alive and well -- its more popular than its ever been. If we could find a legit HW champion then we wouldn't be talking about this

 

You can definitely implement WWF gimmicks to make boxing more exciting, compelling and absolutely ridiculous. Here are some:

1. Tag team boxing: Imagine if you could have two excellent boxers team up to fight two other excellent boxers. When one gets tired or gets in a jam, he can tag his partner who would come flying into the ring. Also while the tag is happening, both partners can get get shots. Gives new meaning to the idea of the double left hook. We could do Team Goldenboy (De La Hoya/Mosley) against Team Peurto Rico (Cotto/Trinidad).

2. Handicapped boxing matches: I don't think I could watch a boring ass heavyweight like Shannon Briggs fight or two weak Flyweights with no power fight (Ivan Calderon and Ulises Solis). But I would definately be interested if two weak fisted but fast featherweights took on a slow heavyweight. Who would win and how. Again, Gives new meaning to the idea of the double left hook.

3. Battle Royals: Let's settle who's the best welterweight by just throwing them all in the same ring. Whoever is left standing is the real champ. Let's see Mayweather's defense against 10 jabs at the same time.


All of this is absolutely crazy but I guess I would pay to see any of this and so would the rest of the world.
