I agree boxing is not as popular as it used to be, it's just simply a confusing sport to follow for the mainstream sports fan. There just isn't no fighters with great star power, look back 8 years ago guys like de la hoya, tyson, lewis, and holyfield were the flagship guys for the sport, now who are the guys that represent boxing? we really have none. Also lack of a youthful audience has also hurt boxing, i read once somewhere that about 70-80% of boxing viewers are over the age of 35. Boxing simply isn't considered has being a "cool" sport anymore.
