PBF vs Baldomir: Main event championship bout
Casamoyer vs Juan Diaz: Top conteneder bout to get #1 contender
Braithwaite vs Cunningham: Top conteneder bout to get #1 contender
Lacy vs a nobody: veteran fighter returning after a big loss.

with maybe one more fight plus three fights that wouldn't be on TV...When if ever have you seen a boxing PPV card like that? Even the free TV UFC fight cards have good matchups with 3-5 fights.
actually with the boxing ppvs there are usually 3-4 fights with two of them being championship fights, one up and comer, and sometimes one 8 round or less match with a super green up and comer (usually some olympian)

and these boxing match-ups ALMOST ALWAYS last longer than these mma matchups and are far more entertaining while theyre going on (i just cant get too excited about 2 guys rolling around on the floor while reversing armbars and other various submission holds)

the occasional ko in these mma events are entertaining but it doesnt provide the energy that boxing does

boxing is a science, mma is fighting

different strokes for different folks, but mma/ufc isnt taking away any boxing fans and if it does than those people werent ever that big of fans of the sport/science in the first place
