I think it’s a great thing to boost certain guys into legit p4p fighters. Look at Usyk. He is now being seen as a top fighter in the sport. The winner of the bantam tournament will almost surely be up there too.

The main problem is that I just don’t see actual top fighters or cash cows (like Canelo) any reason to enter. They most likely will be able to make more not being in the tournament and have more options without being held down to specific fights.

There are obviously tons of problems with the sport. This tournament won’t fix boxing unfortunately. It will sure help boxing fans enjoy it more though.
