What does a post-Bob Arum boxing world look like?

Competition is great, keeps everyone on the ball.

I think 1 overall governing body (not the sanctioning bodies) would be good to maintain rules, drug testing etc.

Seems we get hopes up every 5-10 yrs regarding serious reform and uniformed oversight. And we're not even talking stripping the car down to the frame but basic common sense measures you can usually find in any lucrative business. Over sight of the charlatans in the sanctioning bodies and a light put on the inner workings of rankings and officiating. Frankly holding a trinket today can speak as much to availability-rotation as it does being the top dog in a division. An across the board recognition and adherence to testing standards, suspensions and medical regulations. Rehydration clauses! Exceeding State to State in that if you are medically suspended or otherwise a guy doesn't just get to travel across the boarder as a loophole. One thing I remember joking about King was that when a guy signed with him they were basically in witness protection or could just go inactive but were tied into basically another version of indentured servant in exchange for making one or two 'big' fights. Mandate time frames that binds a fighter to promotion. A lot of boxings problems are stemmed in basic lack of enforcement and accountability, be it hard luck guys retiring with a fraction of earnings thanks to 101 individuals taking a cut and they are the ones enduring possible injuries or worse when they have that life after the sport.
