    The **** are you on about?
    Fury fought in the US for 3 years and had only 2 big fights. His Vegas shows without Wilder barely drew an audience and he couldn´t sell tickets either.

    Make it a yearly competition/tournament to determine yearly world champs. That's how other sports do it. Because there are so many boxers they could have it done every 4 years so boxers have to compete to qualify for the championship. None of this negotiation crap, or an injured boxer holding onto a belt for years. You either competed in the tournament and won, or you didn't.

    I'm hoping it's just a fad

    Seems like these hyped 'fights' that rely on - let's face it - pretty much any two people with a massive social media presence being in a completely different set of viewers. What has me believing that these fights aren't good for boxing and are in fact damaging is that I don't think that the viewers paying for one are paying for the other. So the focus goes on the big numbers which unfortunately atm is with bringing those any two tw@ts into a ring. I'm liking the idea that the responsibility is on the organisations to change this. Otherwise there needs to be different authorities in boxing.
