With MMA the mainstream now, is Boxing a dead or Sport that TV is ignoring? Other than HBO, which showed a GREAT fight last weekend it just seems to be dead.
Are we done with the greats? Holyfield, Tyson, Forman, ect.....? I Enjoy MMA somewhat , but long for the days of a 12 round slugfest!!!! |

Just my opinion.... Boxing is too boring compared to MMA. I'm sure boxing will be around forever though - seems to have plenty of fans ?!?! To me the fights are over too quickly. I agree it's fun to watch, but when you watch these guy's dig down deep to go 12 rounds, they can't hardly lift the gloves ....fight by heart alone...MMA can't compare!!!! |

PPV fucked boxing. It's a regular, normal sport. Like baseball, football, basketball, hockey, etc. You wouldn't see the world series, superbowl, the NBA finals or Stanley Cup playoffs on PPV. I'd pay to watch a good fight, then spend the money on a huge MMA fight just to have it over in the 1st round with a tapout 
Although I have paid to watch a boxing fight to have it over in the 1st or 2nd.....that pissed me off too

The big MMA fights are PPV. There are a few good ones on Spike, same with boxing, HBO sports showed alot of good, big named fights |

Exactly. When you prevent casual fans and kids from watching a sport you don't have enough people that will later become paying fans. They made money in the short-term by screwing the sport long-term.z |

Boxing has has problems but so does MMA, Baseball, and football. |
