so the article is be a bleacher Report stock Kevin McCrea so thank you Kevin
for putting this list together we are going to talk about kevin's list on up
boxing's biggest
problems any year 2013 at least leading up to so the first problem he says
too many belts too many champs this has been an argument that many boxing
purists
as ourselves as myself and I'm sure you have as well
have talked about for years upon years upon years
if we could put the graphic up bob all the Champions look at this
look at how many champions are go to the net weight class
this is astounding man yeah way too many champions obviously I completely agree
with these are all be a boxing dot com by the way you can roll thru on the mir
there are way too many too many belts for 8 12 16 24
too many chance to many belts waiting out a bit
yeah I agree with tom WBC WBAI be FWB okie BRB
tea BRB which is whatever and then you also have the
the ring magazine the I mean there's there's just
there's way too many I'm I think that when it comes to boxing she's
it's not like a team thing is is one main going in the rain
you know I can and you gotta have something to fight for
you know obviously if there's GS to with three championships
in into an airway class you may never get your shot
big fights not happening i'd have anything if you were to solve this belts
and all this shit going on with the IBF to be badd a little
I have anything you have more fighters in a smaller division
a less compact division because you would have 20 guys in one division
fighting for one bell
and evading it would make it more competitive and you could even say I'm
not gonna say would save the sport to sport does it have to be safe it'll be
around
maybe be sanctioning bodies somebody sanctioning body should join forces
something
in create one male because it you can't make 47
and you're not you not big enough to fight it sixty
134 years lease back understand now so yeah
bike the weight thing really is not you can't compromise awake as we've RTC
you make a guy cum down too far away he's going down in three rounds
is the hydrate you see some guys blows up and tries to fight
I like a gay bar is out of it. the ok I've been ideal up in
he's going to get destroyed that's not his natural weight loss okay so let's
say that that were to happen
a guy who is naturally let's say 150 has to go up to 134 go down to 147 how about
the two fighters put down their swords and have a catchweight
how bout that why would they do that yeah but the seat but then that's still
the
kit can be dispute it because why
if I'm fighting you at 152 people listening and I'm not a legitimate
champion at 1:54
I take you want that don't work tonight the -notify so what is the best way to
solve this problem
the best way I'm thinkin is the sanctioning bodies have to come together
and you know that
I exactly well I am so at this point there is no compromise
but one thing that i dati think was interesting
years ago me about 3-4 years ago Oscar De La Hoya
I when a record is it he can I wanted to
make box in organized sport like basketball or football
were it's basically a tournament set up and you know like the Super Six
like the Super Six and that way everyone
who is legitimate is going to get their shot at winning this chant as he also
you know he wanted to be the president up boxing
that thing he is the boxing is like the wild wild west
there are no rules there's too many sanctioning bodies too many bills to too
many champions dip
the only thing you can do really is you know is getting married
in trying to dominate this boy to make in a bad judging as we have all seen
horrible decisions we saw just some time ago
it shipped more the these are in no order of importance it's just he's
listing out the back somehow boxing needs to be changed thank you can
CJ Ross excuse me so cloud campy 0
awful belt awful decision can peel won that fight he got knocked out in the
first round
who cares nikita shiite-dominated the red light by to bars clout
that was awful that was enough Corpus Christi Texas the second Martin Murray
he absolutely beat Sergio Martinez but Martinez was at home in a soccer stadium
in our
Argentina so the yeah it was an awful decision showers Vera as we saw just
some time ago
awful Bradley packy a all Rios Abril
awful I mean these are terrible decisions and yet we r we are trusting
people
who are probably being paid off as with as we we have to believe they are
because these are
horrible decisions being given and yet we are trusting them
with the integrity of the sport on the line exactly
a & Noble when I'm doing this for you really wanna know why
there are people who are legitimate boxing enthusiast
and no legitimate boxing enthusiasts you know around the ages of
you know forty and fifty my grandfather's H
I don't watch box in anymore is not the same why
she can't trust these judges the third one as
I Bleacher Report's Kevin McCrea States
pay-per-view cards that don't provide value so I tried to think about this
they went from $49.99 to $64.99
the pay-per-view obviously you know the Mayweather fight cost remember
eighty $79.99 and
a lot of money for a lot of people in these hard economic times and I
understand Mayweather could do
whatever he wants but our pay-per-view not providing
value I don't know I don't know if I agree with that one
Alka I don't know if I agree with that one because
you also have to look at like boxing is a business in box is a two sided thing
you know like us as the audience
we want to get our money's worth we wanna see a good fight
but boxing witches and another party the list it will obviously go into battle is
not mainstream
not you know boxing is at its core
a niche sport yet people who really appreciate the sport of boxing
really appreciate the technicality it to us
now couches extra I mean there are many but that's just that just don't happen
we touched on this already he somehow got to take the money out a bit
and we also have tapped operate in golden boy fine this somehow come to an
agreement and that's probably
most likely the biggest problem is the people that are in charge
hate each other yeah they hate each other no one person
is going to run boxing you know i mean
unfortunately not you know that you can you can try are you want to
but there's always going to be another promotion company there's always going
to be another sanctioning body in this
always going to be in a champion so get over it
sport a boxing is an acquired taste is a niche sport
if you like it you like it if you don't
she like it anyway have the fifth point and last point from Bleacher Report can
be great boxing is it mainstream
what he means by that it's not on CBS it was however for the
Leo Santa Cruz fight and Amir Khan Carlos Molina
but that was the last time that I salt boxing on the mainstream
NBC Sports Network is picking up boxing slowly but
Golden Boy the boxer work one is is picking up the Charla fights
Niger mallinger mall charla however they need to
you know what I did anything you know I would say that CBS
because they on Showtime saying you know what
and Floyd would never agree to this you know what let's put one foot by
on CBS one-act I guarantee you
record-breaking rating our you can fight anybody he wanted
CBS should just pay him a truckload of money
they've already done had gotten already a double it and just say you know what
let's put let's put a flea fight on CBS
give the people a taste grading to be through the roof because it was the
free
