I was reading an article on the prospect of one governing body in boxing and it got me thinking about the Sanctioning bodies, TV companies and promoters and how they could work together in a way that was better for Boxing overall.

For me, TV holds the Key and Promoters are the biggest problem, in a sense.

I look at UFC, who are effectively both a sanctioning body and a promotional company, and wonder why a long standing sanctioning body like the WBC has never thought to strike up a deal with a Major Network like HBO? This would mean that promoters would have to stage shows for the WBC meaning the WBC would get to pick the best shows from a wide range of promoters and pass on the most lucrative shows for TV coverage.

TV wins because the best shows are coming from more every promoter who's fighter is sanctioned to the WBC.

The Promoters loose out if they choose not to go with the Sanctioning body with the big TV deal.

The sanctioning body wins because they have all the traffic.

Fans win for obvious reasons.
