- Do away with PPV… It’s ruining the viewing audience. Show more fights on regular television. Save the top fights for HBO and Showtime.
- Do away with all these belts in each weight class. It’s at the point now when you say your the champ it doesn’t mean much.
- Bring back the days when you could watch boxing 5-7 days a week on regular cable. Bring back amateur fights again so people know who the up and comers are.
there is less and less real interest in boxing and horse racing now , and especially that the entertainment dollar is being pulled in so many directions… you have to have pay per view in order to make solid revenue, selling commercial spots to subscribers does not make the money that boxers contracts require… so gone are the days of the ‘Gillette Friday Nite Fights’ or nice boxing cards 4 nites a week…tickets to sporting events run weekly are very expensive for a working class guy, especially when you consider he will be taking his family to a sporting event of any kind, easy to spend hundreds taking a family of four to a football game, basketball game, baseball game, fight of any kind, Nascar…buy licensed merchandise souvenirs, concessions (food , drink, etc)…and few people today can see doing these kind of things (often ,given the cost) and spending large amounts to watch boxing live (which we used to do a lot) or go to the track to gamble away money (which we do more than we should) and there are still amateur fight cards , you just have to dig to find them…now that we have all these divisions and sanctioning bodies we will not go back to less…

I agree with you on all counts, but unfortunately I have to agree with the guy above me.
UFC/Pride is what people want to watch now, and I don’t know if boxing can ever be prominent (in America anyway) again.

answer for that, but neither does boxing.

Only the biggest promoters and the best fighters can save boxing. It would help if there was a unified heavyweight champ. Also we need to see more mega-fights like De La Hoya vs. Mayweather. In my opinion there are plenty of good fights out there, they just haven’t happened yet.
