Boxing isn't alone in this though as MMA is filled with it as well. One of my favorite fighters, Overeem just got caught for testosterone levels that were through the roof !

Ortiz should go through with the fight on the condition that he is allowed one flagrant head butt with no penalty. And also that he is allowed to kiss Berto a minimum of 3 times afterwards.
while this is true, MMA fights have cards that a stacked usually with 5 good fights in different weight classes with fighters you want to see fighting each other. Boxing gives us one good fight and a bunch of fillers most of the time and if that big fight gets cancelled usually the whole card is dumped.
Yes that is very true. And MMA (UFC) can get a replacement fast, such as in the case of Mir stepping in for Overeem since all fighters are under the same umbrella and often fighting on the same stacked card.

When a high profile fighter is out of a high profile fight there are rarely any viable substantial replacements.

Upset me quite a bit last summer when Guerrero hurt himself training and had to pull out of the Maidana matchup in San Jose. I had bought tickets to that event and would have gotten to see that fight and Seth Mitchell vs. Mike Mollo LIVE. It would have kicked ass...
