    how so? if one promoter had all the rights to every fighter there would be no need to shield a fighter, seeing how they would get all the profits regardless
    You are naive, what if they do not want to sign for him, they are forced to sign with him and what he has to offer. He will look after himself and his cronies.
    umm you're the one even taking the idea of it happening seriously, so who's really the naive one? King, Arum, and hell even Goosen have too much money of their own for DLH and GBP to be able to come anywhere close to getting a monopoly, it's never gonna happen, and if it did we would be stuck with boxing's version of UFC and the only ones who'd be screwed are the fighters themselves, that said yea there should only be one commission
    What's wrong with the ufc? They make all the big fights that are wanted, and put out good cards on a monthly basis, and the guys who don't perform get booted.
    ummm apart from they pay their fighters peanuts well yea nothing...
    George St. Pierre the best fighter p4p in the UFC got paid 60k in one of his co-headlining fights. Lesnar got paid something like 450k for headlining a ppv that had 1.5 million buys. Great for the fans no doubt, but really shitty pay for the tens of millions they make for Dana White. White gets tens of millions while if these guys are lucky the may break 100k. Now that is sad.

    Boxing can fix a lot of things if it had 1 commission only, which I'm for. The thing I'm against is 1 promoter UFC style, this fucks over the fighters really badly. And since many of these guys put it on the line to entertain us, I do want them to get what they can get.

    that's my point, you know something's wrong when Toney (a guy with zero MMA experience) gets paid a rumored 750k to 1 mil for just showing up and getting beat up, and then the guy who was challenging for the title gets paid only a couple ten thousand bucks
