I agree, but this is also where I believe promoter(s) get it wrong! If they concentrated on the truth, boxing would be far better off. The integrity of the sport gets to the point where people look at it with the same creditability as Professional Wrestling. The only place P4P rankings can truly be accepted is when a fighter is part of history or he is so far set above the rest he is a living legend. Greed is just too powerful and while I agree that the sport needs mega fights I also believe the sport would have an even greater following if it were more transparent.
