I would do my best to have some of the sports biggest and most exciting match-ups on regular cable. if you can start to market boxing like the mma does, where it's so called "cool" to be a boxing fan, then that would be a major step in the right direction.
I would definately have more then just one belt per weight devision. maybe not as many as they have now but it brings more money into the sport and very deserving fighters would end up waiting years for "their" chance to be a world champion. and probably only get one chance at that.and some unification bouts are considered super-fights which is obviously a good thing. Champions only fighting 1 or 2 times a year prevent me from wanting only one belt. Also, it prevents fighters with 2 or 3 or more loses from EVER getting a title shot. Hell a good example would be Antonio Margarito, he might have never been given a shot at the world title with his record consisting of that many loses. fighters would end up fight bum after bum trying to keep their "0" intacted because a lose would be devestating. Anyone else see my point on this one?
Also, The way you market boxing is way more important then any one fighter can do for the sport.
I would start having some key fights in places besides Las Vegas and A.C. let other fans who can't travel far get a chance to see a great match-up. Might attracted some new fans from that area aswell.
