I've come to the conclusion that boxing is just very special, very different from any other sport. No other sport could get away with what boxing does.

From the facts people have quoted, wrestling is the most popular pastime and people get bought up with it, yet boxing still outshines MMA, in both money made and the number of fans.

The money in boxing is simply incredible and the more exclusive it becomes, the more money there will be. Vegas will always love boxing and sponsors will always love to spend a fortune on it.

MMA won't overtake boxing and even if it did in terms of fan numbers, it still wouldn't be a threat to boxing as they could operate side by side.
