Ring Magazine on the Road to Sanity

I think getting rid of the alphabets and having one champion and one set of rankings per weight class would do phenomenal good for the sport. Hard to see how anyone wouldn't see it that way.

I don't, causal people don't care about fights that are not for the championship. Just look at other sports and notice how the viewing goes up during the finals. That's why you always hear the announcer spout off the belts the fighter has had rather than just the one he has. Including the minor stuff if that is all he has. Selling a fight is easier if there is a belt on the line.
