Ways boxing can become better1??
Boxing is at risk at the moment and it needs improving sports like UFC are more popular now and boxing is on tv less. In years to come I think UFC or other sports could take over boxing and it will not be as big. I was thinking of ways to make boxing better and more popular which do people think would be best and if you have any other suggestions add them in just ideas you think would make boxing better. I have put in some ideas already.

Robberies is the least significant. It doesnt happen as often as is made out. The other three all kind of link into one another but I would go with less belts. If you put it on tv more often with 50 different belts per weight newcomers wont have a clue whats going on and wont have a clue after youve explained it to them either.

Even if terrestrail TV would cover domestic fights it would make a big impact to the sport I'd suspect. That way I'd be happy to pay sky for world level fights and PPV for the biggest.
But the only way the PPV model imo can be maintained into the future is through building up prospects on terrestrial. BBC and ITV would need to get on board.

Terrestrial TV died a long long time ago unfortunately (although C5 are trying to make a comeback). I'm a fan of the model Sky Sports have managed to establish- showing the majority of the young fighters and prizefighter series. All that's required is to bring over Warren's stable which hopefully should happen with the fall of Boxnation which is based on an unsustainable format.
PPV's are not really required by Sky, there isn't enough revenue generated from them. Only PPV that would sell is Pacquiao vs Mayweather, and even that might struggle to sell in the UK.
