**Questions on the unionization of Boxing (J.A.B.)**

[amat]

I think there needs to be a general oversight of boxing, some sort of commission that comes in and sets boxing straight. McCain has long talked about creating one but it was struck down when he tried to pass it through the house. He then revised it but I haven't heard about it since.

De La Hoya talked of this on the promotion trail for Barrera - Juarez II, also talked of putting on a giant boxing expo where EVERYONE from the boxing industry would get a ticket and draft some legislation to fix the sport. Never happened and while I like De La Hoya, this is very disappointing as he spoke very passionately about the idea. Of course he was retired at that time so maybe it gets back on the agenda after the rematch. I hope.

Well, Teddy Atlas spoke in his book about an overseer... A boxing commisioner... Like a boxing Tsar. Someone like Atlas, love him or hate him would be a good person in this possition.... The passion he has for the sport...
