Wildhawke is 100% correct. Just imagine how much more interesting boxing would be today even with the paucity of talent if there were only ten weight classes and only one champion per division.
“to many are getting rich”
That’s another problem, to many of these scumbags care nothing about the sport or the fighters and are only interested in lining their own pockets with money. They are well on the way to killing the goose that laid the golden egg.
Where are the new fans going to come from if they never have the chance to even be exposed to boxing? I remember growing up in the 70’s and almost all of my friends watched boxing and we used to argue about it all of the time. There were maybe one or two closed circuit telecasts a year and the rest of the major fights were available of free TV. Major title fights, sometimes several on the same card, were telecast in prime time on a Friday or Saturday night. When you have fights like Holmes vs. Butterbean on pay per view and talent less stiffs like John Ruiz headlining ppv cards you know that things have reached an absurd level.
