The Sport of Boxing

[DatsiK]

If I could change one thing it would be the duration between each top fighter's fight... having to wait 5-6 months between each boxer's big money fights is ridiculous. I understand why it's done but it could be done alot differently, even if it was cut down to 2-3 months would be okay for me, the suspense for the Hatton - Pac Man fight has been killing me, and there's still 3 full months to go...

I think the WWE is a great example. They are able to air a PPV once a month and generate big income. Sure, it's all scripted and no one is generally hurt in the process, but the fact that they can advertise these fights and sell out stadiums in a month alone shows boxing can be done differently in this respect.

This doesn't take into account the fact that a top boxer needs prep time for each fight. If it was every 2-3 months that would mean that a boxer would basically finish a fight & already have to get ready for his next fight, something these guys who do it, have earned the right not to do. IMO 4-6 months is more than fair.
