What's a Title Worth.!

[Dia bando]

Any title is only worth the guy carrying it to us, but for fighters they are a great insurance. Even the most phony trinkets mean you have a stream of income, people want to fight you and you aren't going to get peanuts when you might otherwise. A fight like Haye-Fury is huge because they have some celebrity status, but there are only ever a handful of guys who stand to make that kind of money anyways. Title's on the other hand mean guys we wouldn't have a clue about otherwise, are substantially higher draws than they would be.

Boxing has been called prize fighting, the prize being money J L Sullivan book more
reference was made of the size of purse, than any defense of a title.
Some modern day Champs, have made large sums of money off TV networks etc PPV
boxing for the right fight title or not, still generates great interest and large amounts of money
does it not.

Sometimes, but it's pretty rare that you have a really big fight between two guys who aren't at least former champions. My point was that the straps are often the only way to assure guys who would otherwise not generate much interest, can make a decent living, or land fights with established draws.
