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

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.
