I think the best way to sort the whole rankings system is to incorporate the advantages of an already implemented geographical ranking system (NABF, EUROPEAN, COMMONWEALTH, AFRICAN ETC..) with Larger bodies fragmenting to more localised regions (NABF, to mid-west, East coast, West blah blah)

Also they should define a clear progression between geographical expansions (to make clear that to compete with the best in the US, you must first compete with the best in your region).

There should be pools, or seeds within the ranked leagues inherently set initiated.
For example, Pool 1, 2 & 3 within in the European ranks.

Pool 1 can fight Pool 1 fighters from the other Geographical regions and hence compete for a title (More on that later)

Pool 2 should fight within their own regional system for the right to progress in terms of ranking but can fight other pool2 fighter’s form other regions for cash or fan base (Fighters on the slide).

Pool 3 fighters are fighting for the right to stay in that league (Could be relegated from Mid-West, back to state, or from African back to West African). But they, if they wish to be mere Journeymen, can fight other Pool 3 fighters from different regions.

There should be a small allowance (1:3 or 1:4) of non-ranked fights per ranked fights to try and abolish stale progression.

Working from the bottom up... Each fighter should pay a fee to enter his or her designated league. In turn the superior league should pay a small fee for the privilege of obtaining a new or reformed talent (also, any relegated fighters should pay a fee to the league they left.)

In theory this would work, as all fights made will have a percentage of the gate made ready for the appropriate league.

Cross-Regional fights take place amongst the elite of each region. For the right to fight form the world championship.

The world championship is infact funded from the bottom, up, as all smaller regional leagues and also the fighters/ Promoters/ Cable networks that compete with in the World league itself pay a flat fee to be a part of it.



In regards to default ranking, i.e. when the whole system starts from scratch. Ranking, as has been stated before, will be a balanced ration between Career record, Progressive quality of opponent, and ring experience.

Any fighters entering at the very beginning will be marked on their amateur successes.

The World Championship is something that could exist, as the Current Sanctioning bodies have no control over the likes of The NABF, British, European, or any other geographical Body.

If every geographical body had some kind of initial financial input to assist an already financialy strong organisation, the idea of a more geographical ranking system could be made a reality


Of course this is a one bloody hell of a long shot but its more than fesable... All it needs is a slight revision in the rankings and one lad with a bright spark and a shit load of money to invest

Wha'dya think folks?
