It is just a matter of time before the controversy begins. You wait till the big money matches are in the pipeline, then we will see how those rules are adhered to.Wax On wrote:I think that's b0llocks to be fair.Gray-Fox wrote:The Ring title means nothing now Oscar owns it.
Him buying that is like the Government "owning" the BBC.
As long as the citeria for crowning a champ stays the same i.e. rigid rules on how a champ can be crowned i.e. by the #1 contender beating the #2 or on rare occasions the #3 etc then Oscar or GB owning it makes no difference.
All it means is that it's becoming a bit more high profile - because they're promoting it as a major belt. And I think that's a good thing!
In theory, yes - but only if the ratings are compiled independantly. I think we can all agree that THAT is not the case...Wax On wrote: Whereas the ring rating used to be just a 'magazine's ratings' they're now gaining credibilty by being supported by the most powerful boxing promotional company in the world. I hope the trend continues, because I'd love to see it become a universally recognised way of crowning champions. Think it's just what the sport needs.
