    Lost Highway

    Becks

    Football (soccer to our friends in the US)

    I like animals, but I don't have any pets of my own.

    For. I wouldn't watch it, but I say live and let live.

    Pacquiao vs Mayweather of course. But I didn't expect Floyd to go through with it, and I don't believe he ever will.

    10. The original 8 plus cruiserweight and minimumweight. The jump from lhw to hw is far too much without a division in between, and for the little guys the 7lbs between minimum and fly is a chasm.

    500ish

    All available in the UK

    I'd have a multi-billionaire buy out all of the organizations, then run it like the UFC. One organization, one champion in each division, no ducking, monthly promotions with a stacked card every time, multiple main events. Paradise.

    What is your favorite movie? Carlitos Way

    What is your favorite drink? Newcastle brown ale

    Outside of boxing, which is your next favorite or favorite sport? Cricket

    Pets or no pets? I've got a cat.

    Are you for or against women's boxing? I have no problem with them doing it but like most men I'm only likely to watch a womans sport if there's a possibility of tits bouncing

    Which match does boxing need the most? Mayweather vs Paquiao is the obvious answer

    We currently have 17 weight divisions. How many should boxing have?. I think a few of the jr divisions for the smallest weightclasses could go. Maybe leave 13.

    Approximately how many matches on tapes / DVD's do you own? I've got lots of recordings from over the years but I tape over stuff, I don't know how many full matches I have. I've only got 2 bought fight tapes.

    How many PPV fights do you purchase in a typical year? I've bought 2 in my life, Hatton vs Maussa and Hatton vs Mayweather.

    In 50 words or less, how would you fix modern boxing? Get boxing back onto regular tv in as many countries as possible, particularily America. Lots of title belts isn't good for boxing but the average guy on the street having no clue who holds any of them because he never sees any boxing is worse.

    What is your favorite movie?... Goodfellas, amongst others but I`ll leave it at one.

    What is your favorite drink?... Alcohol wise - Doesnt bother me, wine, beer, vodka, all does the trick.... non-alcoholic wise - Orange Lucozade (from the can)

    Outside of boxing, which is your next favorite or favorite sport?... MMA.

    Pets or no pets?... German Shepard dog.

    Are you for or against women's boxing?... Against, not thru safety reasons, just because they are not as good as men, I like watching the best.

    Which match does boxing need the most?... The one that just went down the toilet this coming march 13th :verysad

    We currently have 17 weight divisions. How many should boxing have?... The amount of divisions dont bother me but we dont need any more & we do need just one belt per division.

    Approximately how many matches on tapes / DVD's do you own?... Never counted but its into the hundreds but not thousands.

    How many PPV fights do you purchase in a typical year?... We get most for free in the UK but I would buy a DLH-Hopkins or FMJ-MP PPV before a Kahn or Hatton PPV, the quality is what matters to me, not the country where they are from.

    In 50 words or less, how would you fix modern boxing?... 1 belt per division, 15 rds (or at least 13 rds) for title fights, champions must defend at least 3 times a year or be stripped, winner gets the largest share of the money, top 2 p4p guys MUST fight if in the same weight or be banned until they do.

    What is your favorite drink? beer. I like porters and stouts

    Outside of boxing, which is your next favorite or favorite sport? Football. NCAA and NFL

    Pets or no pets? No pets.

    Are you for or against women's boxing? For

    Which match does boxing need the most? Mayweather/Pacquiao

    We currently have 17 weight divisions. How many should boxing have?. I don't think the problem is to many weight classes. The problem is that each weight class can have up to 4 world champions. One champion per weight class is needed.

    Approximately how many matches on tapes / DVD's do you own? 0 I do have a youtube acount and sucribe to most of the boxing related chanles I come across.

    How many PPV fights do you purchase in a typical year? 0. I think the idea of PPV sucks. It is why boxing is not a mainstreem sport anymore. If a friend happens to invite me over and asks me to pitch in for a big fight I would.

    In 50 words or less, how would you fix modern boxing? I will try to answer latter.
