Why I wish there was a UFC type organization in boxing.

Your list doesn't really tell the story

Diaz/Lawler/Sylvia/Belfort/Arlovski/Sokoudju
All simply ran their course in the UFC or were not performing at the level they once were. Sobral was released for holding a choke to long. Lindland/Barnett/Shamrock have all had long time differences with Dana White. Shields has said multiple times that he would like to come to the UFC. Aleks isn't fighting for anyone b/c of allegedly having hepititis or a visa issue depending on who you ask. I don't think a UFC type system would work for boxing either though. UFC has 12-16 shows a year and they still have a hard time showcasing all of their fighters. With the number of boxers in the world it would be impossible to get all of the fights we wanted

Who says the UFC always has great undercards? That's BS. I've watched main events that stunk. and a competitive fight in Boxing is uncomparable to a competitive MMA fight. MMA is so broad that a competitive fight could end up with both fighters barely scratched. On the other hand, a great boxing fight more often than not leaves both boxers bloodied, bruised and a candidate for brain damage. A single fight can decide the future of a boxer, the accumulation of punches just gradually takes it's toll sooner or later. So to sum it up, asking a competitive fight everytime for a boxer is just asking too much. They deserve breaks. You guys ever heard of tune-up fights?

You are right in saying that not every UFC card is great but with 10 fights and 5 guaranteed televised bout you are getting more for your money (if you like mma that is) and have a better chance of seeing 1 or more good fights. Most boxing PPVs usually are one or two fights at best.

Yeah but the fights are only three rounds long.
