If you had £100m to invest in boxing

Id buy the WBC, WBA, IBF, WBO and the contracts of all the top ten fighters in each divison.

Re-regulate the boxing world with a simple weight class structure.


Super-Heavy - 210 plus

Heavy 210

Light-Heavy 175

Middleweight - 160

Welterweight - 147

Lightweight - 135

Feather - 126

 

Again, feather-126 and below is a horrible idea, built on the fact you're obviously not a fan of the little guys. A really nasty idea that Black and not fair at all.

 

Who in their right mind would invest in pro boxing unless they wish to throw their money down the drain?It would cost more than that just to buy out contracts from the big promoters even before you pay their purses for the fights.
Horrid investment.Just keep the money and buy ringside seats for you and your buddies for selected fights.

 

If they were offered a 50-50 split - literally in this case, there'd soon be arguments.

''I'm the bigger draw.....''

''He's got a boss. He needs to get rid of his boss, I don't want him making money off me....''

:dead

They couldn't agree on the colour of shite that pair. It'll never happen.

 

This is what i would to do. I would buy all the other non title titles like iba etc and just get rid of them. Make the rules more simple and sort out the rules of mandatories and rankings. I would keep the main 4 belts just cause i think iits good to have those unificaion matches but i would create something like a 4 man tourney that has to happen every couple of years to determin one number 1 fighter in each divison.

I would also change the way promoters and tv compnaies ruke the sport. i would love to tell Big Bad Bob to F**K Off!!!

Also i would hire Uzzy Ahmed as a creative director for all ring entrances around the world !!

 

I really don't think you would need mroe then £100million to buy the WBC, WBA, IBF & WBO. Declare all existing fights to take place and mandatorys to be made within a 6 month period. Then set up an elimination tournement.

The rankings would then be sorted by yours trully.
