i'm going to add to this a bit after watching this weekends fights. maybe paying guys big purses with guarantees of future fights isn't the best motivation for them to give it their all. purses need to be scaled back big time & future fights should be given based on performance

I would venture to say that if boxing were to fix many of the issues that have been mentioned here, interest in boxing would pick up. If interest in boxing were to pick up, network giants like HBO and Showtime might be tempted to pick it up again. After all, they both dropped boxing because of declining viewership. And declining viewership can be directly attributed to a product of declining quality. It's only us hardcore, longtime fans that continue to put up with shitty judging... blatantly ducking fighters... corrupt boxing orgs making up their own rules as they go... circus fights between washed up has-beens and wannabe YouTube fighters... and just plain old bad quality matchups. If there was new viewership to be had, you can be sure HBO and Showtime would be back. (wishful thinking, maybe)
