Hey so for my Persuasive Speech I was thinking about doing a topic on Boxing reform because we talk about it here everyday. I have good arguments worked up IE;
Fighters given title shots they don't deserve
Fighters not being stripped of titles for any various reason(Caught with drugs, inactivity, etc...)
Promoter corruption
ABC titles(WBC Silver Champion, WBC Diamond Champion, WBA interum champion, WBC Asia champion, etc, etc...)
That's basically the focal point of my arguments, but I would propose a reform for boxing. The promoters wouldn't have to disappear because letting everyone make their own money is only fair and you would still need people to handle the logistics anyways, but some kind of treaty where the promoters have to work together and can't monopolize their services would be my first main arguments. The 2nd thing would be to make one belt per division.
Obviously the biggest hitch in that plan is taking on the logistics of boxing. Boxing is so ****ing huge! I even thought of something where the title organizations didn't have to go away, but instead would be in charge of specific regions of the world in order to funnel the rankings into the one title belt easier, but yeah there's no easy way to do this.
Counter-Arguments seem pretty obvious... ABC titles benefit fighters that are actually in the rankings because it gives them more opportunity rather than fighting up a very long list. Who are we to dictate who someone must work with(Talking about promoters)? Would telling a promoter he had to work with another promoter be infringing on any *********s, Laws, Treaties?
Not sure how I will have to go into the specifics of actually fixing the problem, but if I can get away just saying Why I have to fix it without really touching on How as much then I'll be in the clear.
Any help would be appreciated.
