If Zuffa Boxing takes off, how would rankings look like?

Would they somehow rank JDS a top 10 ?

I ask becuase they pretty corrupt

Clearly Patt Cummims takes the no1 spot.

If they wanted to create a title and have rankings then they couldn't sign fighters to promotional contracts...fortunately boxing doesn't allow for that closed garden setup that MMA does.

If they did create a UFC boxing title complete with rankings that would be hilarious, WBA,WBC,IBF,WBO & UFC...they would get more credibility at least trying to rank the same fighters as the other orgs and maybe slip in UFC fighters that actually have more than a handful of boxing matches...so I doubt JDS would make the cut as a top 15 heavyweight, even with WME making the list.

I can see the Fertitta's getting back involved with Dana and developing a seperate arm of Zuffa under its umbrella ownership of WME-IMG. . . . They could literally purchase the heavyweight and cruiserweight divisions from the IBF, WBO, WBC abd WBA and exclusively operate the weight classes under Zuffa Boxing with ratings, sanctioning, a matchmaker and a TV deal.

I don't see the UFC getting into boxing with the same business model they have in MMA. They'd have to play along with the established organizations or have very lowly ranked fighters as UFC Boxing champs. Not sure they could pull it off that way. Maybe if they join forces with Haymon but I'm not sure how economically feasible that is.
