(sorry anyone who has tattoos)
The tattoo culture is crazy for sure, my dad said when he was growing up the only people who had tattoos were soldiers, sailors and bikers. Usually big scary bastards.

Less boxing.

If only the best is shown and it’s condensed to a program length that is manageable for everyone then the quality goes up,and it has more of an impact on the mainstream

One universal sanctioning/ranking body.
One Championship Per Division.
Keep regional belts to gain local popularity.
Number one rated challengers must get title shot within one year of attaining ranking or six months of champion's next bout whichever comes first.

What about no commentary during the fights. It can really distort the perception of what you're watching. I watched Wilder/Fury in Russian (!) and found it more absorbing, and liked that I wasn't influenced in what I was seeing. Heresy in the world of TV sport I know, but I'd like that, just the crowd noise. Certainly get rid of the second pundit during the fight. Pre/Post fight analysis is fine.

Get away from the ref almost being a celebrity in the ring, seems they now have to be introduced madly and have their own signature moves or sayings.

What annoys me about those shows is the way they sit on the chairs the wrong way.
