Boxings Future

I wanted to start a thread to discuss what everyone feels would be the best solution for boxings title problems. Bottom line is that this sport has to many damn champs. Its definately clear that we need to figure out something. If you ask me I believe that each country needs to have a Boxing commissioner. The commissioners then meet to form the World Boxing Commission.

The Commission then is able to vote on rankings, who gets the mandatories etc. I think that each country should begin by having a tournament of its top fighters. The winner of each tournament then enters into the world tournament. The winner is then champ of the world. The commision would then be able to govern boxing. It would also give fighters from Europe a better shot at getting notice. The Commission would be in charge of licensing and setting purses and stuff. Purses would be set by your world ranking. Like for instance: Champions: 10,000,000, #1 contender 5,000,000, #2 1,000,000 etc something to that effect. They would also start a pension for fighters requiring a % of the purses and fight fees go into the fighers pensions.

I think that something similar to this would be what boxing needs to become mainstream again. A champion would be a champion and everyone would be able to know who the real champ is. These are just some thoughts I have on this subject. I'd like to know everyone elses ideas.
