That's what i love about boxing is that it's for people who really love the sport. I don't need a show to watch on TV to make me want to go out and want to buy a UFC shirt and hat so i can feel cool. I would like to see fighters stop paying these sanctioning fees for these meaningless belts, so that we can start getting rid of them.
Exactly. The fighters have no one to blame but themselves. Even if they were only a fringe contender in boxing they could earn more than that. Im surprised MMA fighters dont try crossing over to boxing for the paydays. They could quite easily pad a record up to a dozen fights and build publicity for another boxing v mma type match.

The only way id see UFC doing boxing is if they did prizefighter type tournaments where you have an eventual winner of one weight. That would appeal to their foam handed audience more than a pure boxing match.
