Boxing and MMA on the same card. Could this take off?

[rjj tszyu]

Anything that encourages,promotes and affords boxing/boxers a spotlight,I can favor in a big way.Honestly,not a fan of MMA and have only watched it when the networks were totally void of live boxing cards,and that was with people over,needing 'Live' weekend action lol.Showtime is all over this idea and planning to air many Co-mingled cards.looks like we're along for the ride.I'll watch for the Boxing.

From a selfish and personal perspective.....I could do without the mix & mash,they should spend there resources giving us (Me ) additional bouts and better quality shows.MMA has found a huge nitch and to deny that is to refuse reality but.....Im sure MMA could do just fine on its own?

I am primarily a boxing fan although I don't mind watching the odd MMA card. But if boxing could in any way benefit from being on a card that also has MMA then I'm all for it!

I see it like this. Boxing has been around for literally hundreds of years and therefore has totally polished athletes whereas MMA is still in the juvenile stages therefore you get the rather sloppy looking fights, but as it matures I think it will start to look more rounded and complete and then it will look like it belongs on the same card as boxing.

I think the co card is something that GBP are also interested in as I keep hearing about ODLH making noise about his own MMA.
