"Boxing is dying" - Actually, this quote has been echoed for about 15 years at least (long before Mayweather's rise).....yet boxing is still around and making its way back to network TV

"MMA is taking over/Has better all-around athletes"

They seem to have this warped belief that boxing fans are bothered by the increase of popularity of MMA and that boxing is actually competing with them. MMA is doing fine, good for you. It's silly.
