MMA can't even get legit news coverage. At least boxing will make the newspaper and ESPN highlights. Then as already pointed out elite boxers make so much more then UFC fighters. Why would a young athlete choose USF over boxing when with Boxing you can earn great fame and wealth while with the UFC you maybe get paid 10,000 to sponsor some start up sports drink and maybe 1 million for a top main event fight. Tyson wouldn't even consider that amount of money today in as bad shape as he is in. He could make $5 million just for showing up.

boxing will never die UFC and Wrestling have a lot in common people will get tired of seeing grown men walk around in short shorts and return to the sweet science and long live Don King the greatest promoter of all time I know it,s not a popular thing to sing the prais of a black man I know a lot of you like UFC and Wrestling just because there are a lot of white people in these sports and I use the word sport losely and that,s OK there is aplace for all three but at the end of the day boxing will still be standing

True, in a sense.
UFC and other MMA venues (Pride for example) are just better than boxing, and thus fight fans see that Mixed Martial Artists are using a much sweeter science than boxing and have flocked to MMA events in droves, leaving boxing out in the cold.
Not to mention many people were put off by boxing when John McCain claimed that the UFC was human cock fighting, not that he said it, but that his wife works for Anheiser Busch which is one of boxings biggest promoters, thus McCain was trying to keep his cash flow going, by dissing the UFC, and plugging boxing. People saw through the ruse and vacated from boxing to MMA.

False. Corruption killed boxing. UFC is the real deal and is how now. I'm just surprised more people didn't catch onto it quicker.

i do no longer agree. Boxing and the UFC can the two be money makers. the priority boxing has had is a loss of shape and massive stars. additionally, there is too plenty corruption. it is going to likely be exciting to work out what occurs with ailment(mma) and Golden Boy(boxing). they have mentioned they'll sell a card with mma and boxing on the comparable card interior the destiny.

corruption killed boxing and UFC just came out of the underground and took its place as boxing rotted away.
