Times have changed, not only do people want to consume boxing media differently, I also dont give a fuck if something is popular or how busy it might be. It's just something I want to do, for me. Creating content for someone else gets tired. You give someone permission to use your work and they still cant help but steal it and pass it off as their own.
I've got a basic idea of how I want the site to look and work. I dont have a domain name. Any thoughts? Moments of inspiration? Obviously the domain needs to be available and a .com

Well most of the time if you're looking to drum up traffic for some side cash, Rule is to keep it small catchy and on subject so people will remember it. (Box rec comes to mind). If you don't care and its to be your scrap-booking passion and not just a brain child/cash cow.. you can go with something symbolic that true fans will get... Like "Beyond Canastota" to imply you're sharing the biographies and maybe some details that people wont get from just record books and build the real stories of professional fighters.
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
