Thought this would be and interesting question:
How would you fix the sport of boxing? One example would be: I would unify the belts so that there aren't half a dozen champions of the world at the same weight: there would be just one.

Stop promoters or anyone else having options on other fighters.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

Same day weigh-ins, smaller rings, allow for instant replays in title bouts and make judges need some kind of certification to show they know how to judge rounds.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

One champ per division would be great for the fans but unfortunately not great for the actual fighters.

Re: The Sport of Boxing
I would get rid of judges. EVERY SPORT YOU CAN THINK OF has adapted with technology. In hockey, its no longer just some dude sitting behind the net's job to decide what's a goal, they have instant replays and about 5000 different camera angles. So why is boxing still using the same scoring system it did 100 years ago? Well I think we all know the answer to that, the same kind of crooks that ran it back then are running it now.
No more ringside judges. There will be 3 different panels of judges watching the fight and have access to the fight video, so they can see the entire fight at all times. Because bad decisions are the worst part of boxing. Its really hard watching a guy work his ass off, come with a great performance and get robbed.

How would that work? The judges watch it live, then check the video in the minute between rounds before marking the card?Originally Posted by Beanflicker
Part of the drama is not knowing the result. That's why the WBC idea of announcing the scores after every 3-4 rounds hasn't took off.

Re: The Sport of Boxing
I don't see the benefit of this. How many people are in each panel? How long would you alot for the score to be announced? Your comparison with hockey is an apples and oranges argument, a goal in hockey is a goal it's binary in or out. Boxing is a whole different animal, if fighter A lands 15 punches to fighter B landing 35 punches, fighter B doesn't not necessarily win the round. Furthermore, why did you start a new thread to counter a point I made on this thread?

Get rid of exclusive rights replays,have it on ESPN the next week
Have a national by which I mean government
oversight board
And anyone caught rigging fights is gone for life,1 strike and your out.
Re: The Sport of Boxing
Well the prices on ppvs being cheaper which was mentioned earlier is a good start, but also the quality of the undercards would help I get tired of seeing poor quality undercards for a good main event for 50 bucks. Plus I do not understand why you would see a Lightweight main event and they showcase middleweights and straw weights on the same card. Why not showcase the divisions best to set up for the next big fight. Basically what I am getting at is marketing fighters and promotions better would be a good start to improving boxing.
