Gone for to many title and to expensive...

In every sport there should be only ONE champion, when you got four or five if you include the ring although normally owned by someone with one or more of the ABC belts in some cases they hold just that and we get FIVE champions!

To expensive for people to watch! I feel so so sorry for the people in the Us having to folk out all that money for most PPV - boxing is something you fall in love with as a kid, something you following from a young age, watch fighters grow up and retire, enter a next generation with the experience of the last... Now, it is a discrace the amount of money people have to pay, not just that though; more fights need to be held around the country in the Us for people to be able to see, not just Vegas.

I have to mention the promotors though! IF the fights we wanted to see happen happend - the Major belts would be amalgamated in no time, also people wouldn't mind as much paying such high prices if they were getting true value for money.

I really believe boxing is on the down side. No longer are the mega stars known throughout the world, the non boxing fans don't know many. Ask about Mayweather in the UK, fuck all know of him, and even less prior to the announcement of the DE la hoya fight and he is the majority's P4P #1! winky wright the P4P #2 is another barley known fighter!

I honestly don't see boxing ever really on the up again. Prices would have to come down, the governing bodies would have to rank other champions, or force them to fight eachother every so many fights to make sure total unifications happen fast and the likes of HBO need to force the top names to fight eachother.

Boxing really needs a body that isn't a 'belt' - a body that governs world boxing, one that can step in and stop the likes of the WBC stripping its champion for wanting to fight to unify a belt
