State of Boxing


Boxing is a niche sport and I guess it always has.  From Fraiser to Ali to Mayweather, Alaverez and GGG, boxing is great when the right matchup gets put together.  Unfortunatunaly individual states and promoters run the industry.  While there is a World Boxing Organization individual states still have to grant fighters there boxing license's.  Due to the fact that there's not one over reaching boxing authority, it's up to individual promoters to get fights made.  Since the promoters who work for the fighters are making the fights, their not always going to make the best matchup's.  Fighters often take easy fights for the money, I'll give you the fact that sometimes it's hard to draw up the contract with the other guys so they may take an easier fight in the interim, for example Mayweather v Pacquaio. Alaverez is supposed to fight triple G in what should be a epic bout but either their afraid of each other or can't work out the contract details.  Their is not one dominant fighter like Ali but their are a bunch of maybe less famous guys and we need them to fight each other.  Without the best fighters fighting each other boxing is going to die, oh and they have to be healthy as well.  The Sport of boxing has lost some fans to the MMA but we want to get them back with some good fights.
