........... Since... 1885..
Hey! You SAY you are 100% per-that-divide, but yet...YOU DO NOT HAVE A INTEREST IN THE HEADLINE TOPIC HERE?Are you enjoying your conversation with yourself?
I am not 100% that divide, I was being silly. I watch every UFC card that interests me but prefer boxing. The 100% thing was just to get a rise out of someone else, the last 5 posts in the thread were by you when I posted that.Hey!

The Boxing part I have 52 match portfolio so...to COMPETE w/another boxer under a contract would be something I am interested in.
Sir, the idea am running here is to LIMIT the first echelon to The FIRST &major FOUR [1st.m_4]. Plus: open up a league with the definition of a second echelon understanding (VALUE APPROX. FIVE USA STATES)........... Since... 1885..
Right! Then LIFE TOO!What do you mean "being"? Boxing has been corrupt since it began.
Oh! O.K! Ha, at least you come thru clear now!I am not 100% that divide, I was being silly. I watch every UFC card that interests me but prefer boxing. The 100% thing was just to get a rise out of someone else, the last 5 posts in the thread were by you when I posted that.
AnyWAY! I'm hoping to gain a JOB within the Sport in which I can enter with *constitution from get- go. But..different ways to go about it. Gain some $$$ and, can BUY UP a potential second echelon organization and RUN IT '2e'.
Right now you have many big time PLAYERS Opperating. Bob Arum, Don King I think is yet GOING. "Golden Boy" but...NO ONE IS OPPERATING ON THE NARROW OR BY WHAT I AM PUSHING HERE!
It has been boxing just "crumbling away". The BIG ROCK turning into grains of sand. It goes on, hardly can EVEN NOTICE!
I am STOP-GRIPPING.
Boxing always moves on the PURE RESULTS month by month. Boxing IS a "name game". The Ratings and the Results are the TWO MOST IMPORTANT MATTERS. Everything else is a story line, and GRAVEY!
Our top-5 mega stars right now remain constant: -no order- ALVAREZ *GOLOVKIN WARD MANNY -and- KOVALEV yet.....
*administrative FAULT.
The only SEVEN names that matter in HVY.Wt. div (no order) ("same"//remain CONSTANT) PARKER FURY WILDER HAYE JOSHUA WLAD &, POVETKIN.
Luis Ortiz as well as Lucas Browne I would suggest that ALL BOXING MEDIA'S CARRY RESULT REPORTS IN RED-INK. All true boxing fans KNOW the story there. Of course, it is on account of the duel/tri a happening within the SPORT presently.
Lot of names in boxing and the PRESS is always CONSTANT. The picture today is the picture today and that PICTURE WILL CHANGE.
Fighters are Real Estate.
The source of this gif makes it much betterI wish I could like this multiple times
I am still laughing
No. Only what you point out about the duel/tri is VERY STRAIGHT.There are pros and cons with having multiple belts.
One thing you overlook, but the people in the industry know too well. As a sport, and especially one that hopes to keep a global reach. Multiple belts means champions from every region. For every true champ from the US or Mexico, there's a paper champ in Central-Asia or Africa. It allows people from other countries to claim champions and for events being broadcast locally and put on fights locally. It helps the sport grow. For the 10 paper champs from Kazakhstan, we finally have one undisputed champion in GGG, who himself first won an IBO belt btw.
Its the same reason there's so many lower weight-classes, even though weight classes below WW get no attention in North America and Europe. Champions from Thailand, Japan and Latin America are dominating those lower weights and have world champions.
And of course, the obvious answer which we all know, multiple belts and numerous weight-classes mean the sanctioning bodies have several streams of revenue.
The one thing that doesn't make sense is WBA super/regular champions, and WBC silver titles. I can't fathom why WBA would have 2 champions, or why WBC has a silver belt ("champion" of what exactly?), and a silver International belt to go along with their regular International belt.
As for the IBO and WBO, as fans we'd like to see titles kept to a minimum. But this is the free-market and free movement. Any person can create their own org and their own titles. There's nothing anyone can do about it, unless you want the government to step in and that would be corrupt/tyrannical to prevent one group from organizing in favor of another group.
