and what will help boxing is to have one title belt in each division and one promoter controlling everything. Then a promoter or belt organization cannot control certain fighters from not fighting the other ones. Alot of people have been saying this for years and nothing ever happens to solve it. But I do not think MMA will take boxings place. Boxing has a certain majestic quality to it and the events are classic. Something is being overlooked by that article you posted from CBS sports. We need eras like Ali, Frazier,Norton,Foreman and Hagler,Hearns,Leonard,Duran. That seems to revive boxing well. Guys always complained about the legends controlling all the money. Iran Barkley used to say it, yet he did not realize that those same legends were the reason he was getting his paychecks much higher than he would have without the legends. Boxing needs a good era to boost it back. But MMA will not be the reason it goes under if it does.
