Is it time for boxing to have a fighting organization ala UFC style?

Of course. But how will it ever happen? I think that's actually THE biggest cancer in boxing and that's the countless alphabet belts with their own, greedy agendas to manipulate the rankings and make fights that are pointless. The term "world champion" is truly pointless.

 

there a promotional company and boxing is globe, there are guys making million from this sport boxing outside the USA in germany, japan, england to name a few, People in USA have to see this and there is the major problem, I would like one champion and it could happen, it wouold make boxing alot better and easier for people to understand.

 

UM, yeah. NO doubt.

 

No

Both models are flawed in obvious ways. And I don't have an answer as to a solution. A National boxing commish also won't work, as you wouldn't get other countries to agree. And a single world boxing jurisdiction will never happen, too many national and personal interests.

So we will have what we have, UFC if that's you model will only last so long in the current world environment. They already have challengers.

 

I think the original statement is fairly redundant. Unification of any kind would be an improvement to the sport of boxing, in terms of popularity, competition, and revenue.

A simplified analogy :

Promoters are equivalent to solitary wolves, salivating and bristling, focused only on their own bellies and fighting soley for thier own survival. The question is not whether hunting in a pack would yield bountiful food and security for all, but how to show them this truth.

 

Yes I think we can all agree with that. Boxing is full of politics and that's what hurts the sport.

 

i never liked how the UFC is run or how boxing is run today. it would be better if they had a unified sactioned body like how world soccer is run. UFC is a cancer in its own right, where the fighters usually get chump change compared to what the owners get. they are lucky to break even after medical /management and only really gain when they have promoter support. other then that most of MMA fighters get worn down relativly fast, not being able to really make a good go before there bodys starts to wane and the risk are high.

 

UFC style organizations have their risks.
They can divide the talent of divisions and lessen the changes of seeing undisputed champion. In a long run I think current system is better than MMAs system.

 

Agreed. Expect the Lesnar fighting for the title part.

 

Yes, another Organization, with another Title. We'll call it the International Boxing Union. The Belt will be the IBU.

they already do its called HBO

 

I think it is required to have a new way of running things, but not on the UFC model

 

Wont work. The fighters will get paid infinitely less and boxing would slowly crumble. What works works well for the UFC. But they both have 2 entirely diffrent financial ethos`s.
