while we're at it, how about banning the ridiculous and obviously staged shoving matches during the face-off photo ops?

JLC - Corales was 19 years ago. why is he complaining about that.


how about we start with the ABC orgs. there are too many of them and too many belts and too many divisions.

The times are always going to be weird for somebody its an international sport.

Do away with network exclusive deals for boxers and promoters allowing networks to bid on fights.

How bout this: if you cheat in any way shape or form, or get DQ'ed; from elbows to intentional low blows to drug tests...
You don't get paid!
Nor does your manager, your corner AND your promoter!
what would that do? lol

I mean starting a main event at midnight or even past it is complete bullsheit , and sadly it has become the norm .I would welcome that change , also how about not throwing every damn card on ppv or at least price it accordingly . Stacked cards would be nice , they don't even have to be stacked just have competitive matchmaking which probox tv has down to a science BTW their Wed nite cards never miss ..

Ways to improve the game: 1. P.P.V: Mega fights only and with at least one strong undercard bout.
2. Earlier start times for main events.
3. Real punishment for bad judging.
4.Legitimate number one contenders.
5. Beautiful round card girls, wearing thongs.
