"We're looking to put together top MMA fighters as well as top boxers in one night. I think the two worlds have finally merged, and this is a perfect example," Affliction vice president Tom Atencio said. "

And as for you not seeing promoters going for it, too late. It's already happening.

I mean getting together and making one sanctioning body, league, etc. Boxing is far from it....

Kids say "I want to be in the NBA, nfl, mbl, etc."
They don't say "I want to be in DKP, GBP, TR, etc...."
Boxing is run by promoters promoting their own and their specific interests.
Losing fighters doesn't ruin MMA. Competetion should make it better for the fighters. USFL didn't ruin NFL. CBA doesn't ruin NBA.
