As the title suggests Boxing seems to have a confusing amount of world champions, you hear about different federations etc how and why is Boxing setup this way?
In:
Who says there should just be one? In the early days of most sports, there were multiple leagues. In the NFL, the NFC and the AFC used to be the NFL and the AFL until they merged. In boxing you’ll have slightly different rules, such as whether there’s a standing eight count. Then you get more excitement when someone tries to unify the titles to become the undisputed champion.
Money is the main reason, more champions equals more fights more money, then when they box each other even more money, plus they have to pay the federations also so more federations equal more money.
