Do you think in our lifetime we'll ever see..

A federal boxing commission in the states that only recognized one belt and only allowed sanctioning fees for that belt would essentially destroy the alphabets. Sure they could operate outside of the US but if you if a fighter can't wear your belt to the ring in Vegas the worth of it is meaningless.

And make it illegal for anyone else to offer up title belts? Or rich purses? It's one thing for the government to recognize only one body, It's something else altogether to force everyone else to recognise it. Can you honestly see the government making it illegal to set up rival sanctioning bodies? Or making it illegal for fighters to fight for They would no more do that than they would pass a law making it illegal to start up a new football league, or a new hockey league. Nor should they.

You have a great point. Even though all boxing fans don't like the organizational nonsense, it can be much worse. Just take a look at MMA where teh UFC has an almost monopoly on the sport. Their biggest stars only make a few hundred grand compared to the biggest stars in boxing and those guys take considerable risk.

How is the UFC putting on 1-2 fight cards a month comprised of 10 fights and usually exactly the fights the fans want to see for the same price boxing charges for PPV's consisting of 1 to 3 fights tops, not good for the fans?
