Or maybe the question should be: "CAN the boxing fans take back the sport from the promoters?"
Honestly, aren't we all sick of the same old tired story? Champ 1 defends against bums in one organization.......... Champ 2 defends against other bums in another organization........... people want Champ 1 and Champ 2 to meet............ Promoter 1 and Promoter 2 begin their frustrating, greedy posturing.............. Champ 1 and Champ 2 insist they want to meet in the ring............. time goes by and nothing happens.............. fight is finally signed a year or two later than it should have............... the hype builds to unimaginable heights (PBF-DLH anyone?)................ fight eventually comes off, usually not living up to the hype.
Sometimes it's by controversial decision, and it's back to Square 1 all over again.
You'd think there'd be a way for us fans to make a change in the way the sport is run these days.
