Let's just pretend boxing finally gets it together and has ONE Association/ Federation/ League i.e MLB, NFL, NBA, etc. and you are chosen as the comissioner. What changes would you make to the sport? Here are my first two items:
1. No more entourages accompanying or entering the ring with fighters. In case they didn't get the memo, no matter how loudly you talk on your cell phone during the postfight interview in the ring, you just don't matter.
2. Restructure the PPV mess. Look PBF, Jermaine Taylor, all current heavyweights, NONE OF YOU has PPV appeal (not if we want boxing to go back into the mainstream). A card that features a "main event" which has been preceeded by several events pitting the John Smiths V. John Doughs just won'tcut it. Look at the UFC PPV (an event which is leaving boxing behind). Generally any of their matches could be staged as the Main Event. Boxing PPV events need to be handled in the same way.
None of this will happen, and I'm sure boxing doesn't care!!!
