    Here is mine.

    No matter what is being paid to a fighter, 25% of each purse should be put into a pot and go to the winner of the fight.

    This way any fighter that was previously showing up just to get a pay cheque, will not just show up to loose and all fights would be more competative.

    Have a single boxing organisation internationally as in pretty much all other sports, ie FIFA in Football, ICC in Cricket etc

    Promoters to ask for less money to put boxing on terrestrial television. I am sure they could gain most of the money back they would be losing from advertising, because the advertisements would be seen by a much larger audience.

    I agree.. it seems to be the same in all combat sports ie pretty much all martial arts suffer from the same thing in some way shape or form.

    thats cos of all the greedy hangers on involved.


    heres another one

    -a professional fighter must have a coach, a manager


    AND


    promoters should only be hired once a fight is signed- to promote it, rather than the current situation where they call all the shots

    To add to the one belt, one organisation...

    The organisation in charge arranges title fights based on current form, the purse is split 60-40 in favour of the champ plus rematch clause, so, for example, if the current WW champ is Floyd Jr and Miguel Cotto is the man on the up and up, then the fight is made ... no ifs, no buts and no haggling over details.

    That would make an interesting situation in the HWs with the Klits.
