its also nice to see the best fight the best in their primes, another ball that boxing has dropped. its great when you shell out $50+ for a ppv to have more than 1 meaningful fight on the card, although boxing has caught up a little bit in recent years. it does help mma tremendously having one dominant brand, the ufc, as opposed to the fragmented boxing landscape though.


The only way I think to save Boxing would be for some ridiculously rich person who cares about the sport to buy up every boxer so no more Top Rank or Golden Boy. That way we could start again and do what the UFC does where it's one organization and one belt per class etc. Fuck these stupid WBC, IBF etc organizations there a joke! I only ever look at Ring Magazine's ratings anyhow.
