Which Of These Options Would You Like Most In The Sport Of Boxing?

Yeah but you dont pick a career knowing that you have something to fall back on if it doesn't work. You pick your career because thats what you want to do.

 

You failed to make any rational point whatsoever. What does them knowing the risk have anything to do with point. The fact is there is a risk, okay, do you understand that? I, and many, many other people pay money, to see the fight both live and on PPV, and Sponsors also pay for a logo etc, okay? Do you understand this? The fighter is the one who is at risk to entertain the people buying, attending the fight, and the many people are trying to see the fighter(s), okay, you still with me? The fighters are generating the income, from sponsors and viewers, understand? If for example a large amount of money is made from a fight, like in Floyd Mayweather's case, how is it fair that his promoter, if he wasn't promoting himself, and management get most of the money, and he get 1/10 of a percent? Are you following this point? What other jobs or careers make is irrelevant. If millions of people were tuning in to watch you flip burgers, you would expect the large majority of profit. But, millions are not tuning in to see that, and it is not comparable. Millions are not tuning in to watch showdown in Iraq, therefore there is no profit for the soldiers to split. Are you capable of understanding this or do I need to post pictures?

 

You're in no position to patronize because you are wrong. You have directly contradicted your point. The fighters are at risk of injury and entertainment value yes, but every fighter is aware of this risk and consciously making a decision to accept any risk involved. Sponsors, promoters, ppv, logo all take money i get that, but your saying it like boxing is the only activity where all the money doesn't go straight to the performer. You do understand that when films are made, even though the actor is the face of it, the production get money, the director gets money, the promoters get money. Its called business and its down to the performer/fighter to negotiate their own wage depending on how much their risk is worth. What other jobs and careers make are not irrelevant at all. Boxing is a sport and its also a job. They are there to make money. So it makes complete sense to compare it to other paid activities. The whole world tunes in to watch sports, films, news etc So by your logic the news reader must get the majority of what the news company makes because after all, he is the one doing all the work entertaining the viewers at home. The promoters get a large slice of the pic because without them, you wouldn't know the fight was on. hi:

 

I'm not reading that cause I don't care, however I will address the 2 lines you highlighted. In the first line I say that the fighter knowing the risk has nothing to do with it. And in the second I use the fighter being at risk to support my position. And while I am proud you have the mental capacity to read, we will have to work on your comprehension. Fist line addresses fighters KNOWING ABOUT THE RISK and the second addresses THE RISK.

 

Never mind I read it and I must say, god have mercy. I am not arguing against promoters taking money or the current promotions as they are you dumb ****. I am arguing against 1 promotion which would allow a promoter to have a monopoly on all of boxing and have total control over purses as there would be no competition or opposition for the fighter to go to... atsch

 

One world champion in each weight class so it wil be easy to remember him.

 

I don't think people realize that there has been at least two recognized titles since the 1920s. Generally, one guy had both titles, but not always.

If it could go back to those days, that would be fine with me.

Every boxer under one promotional company would be great.

 

Without number 3, number 2 wouldn't be as good as people think anyway. If say Tim Bradley is the one holding the Welterweight title there would be a ton of fighters at Welterweight under the Golden Boy banner who would have no hope of getting a shot and it would be endless rematches between him, Pacquiao, Marquez and Provodnikov.

 

We don't live in communist Russia.

Who would we hand this monopolised promotional company to?
Dana White?

Boxers have to earn and they would be ****ed even more under a single promotional company. Look how little the top UFC fighters earn.

 

That might encourage the top fighters to fight more often and fight the big fights. So it wouldn't be a bad thing.

 

I'm assuming the one promotional company thing is equal to UFC kinda thing...

If that's the case than yeah! I'd pick that

 

A single world champ per division would do that better imo.(One with decent rankings anyway)

Competition is a good thing. If fighters are getting screwed they have the chance to leav and go elsewhere.

Imagine of ****** where the UKs only promoter:dead

 

One belt per weight class.

I actually wish it would go back to 15 rounds but I don't see it ever happening. With the recent deaths of boxers and all this concussion stuff in sports, I can't see them ever going back to 15 rounds. No one wants to attach their name to that.
