I Really don't buy the "sky is falling" notion that many suggest when it comes to boxing - The bottom line is boxers are making more money than ever......and that money to some extent is traveling downward....where even club fighters are making more than they have in the past...

I also don't have such a concern with too many champions....(perhaps the sactioning fees are too much at times......but that is where the fighters have to make their own decisions).......I don't mind the differing divisions.....I think it adds spice to the overall...

I think where boxing does have its problems is in marketing.....but not so much in marketing itself.......but just that it is a sport in some ways that is brutal......and with that it will automatically have a "turn off" factor to a large segment of the developed world (and thus an invisble cap as to how large its viewer ship will get) -

Because of wealth....you are also seeing less and less potential very athletic boxers.....entering boxing to begin with....they are choosing other sports instead (this is probably hurting the overall quality of boxers)...But only to some degree.....


And lastly....While Tysonfan makes some good suggestions...and this is a good thread.....I simply don't agree with Gov't commissions....(what is more corrupt than Gov't itself........heck anything Gov't gets involved with is more screwed up and cost more money then if we just left it alone to begin with....) - More power in Gov't is not the answer.....(Unless Tysonfan.....you just meant private commission not ones run by Gov't).
