Unfortunately, the only thing that would help boxing would be some type of government intervention. There are simply TOO many sanctioning bodies, too many belts, and quite honestly, too many quality fighters for any type of UFC type of promotion to exist. Plus, the basic fundamentals of UFC and boxing are different. In MMA, the beginning of the spot as a major power is fairly recent, the history is still fairly new. Boxing history goes back more than a century now. The best fighters at the beginning of MMA had a losses on their record, everyone had losses on their record, so promoters had to sell the brutality of the sport and also sell the tough ass personalities of the fighters. That's what were used to in MMA. And that's the way the sport still operates. This is why Dana White is able to put some guy who is 15-9 on TV and make him into the next big thing or at least a feared contender to be taken seriously.

In boxing, we've been trained to not even take someone that seriously once they've got more than 5 losses on their record. We're used to seeing guys go from the Olympics, stay undefeated to create that air of invincibility or at least only have one loss or one draw and then watch them rise or fall once they are ready to prove themselves at the top of the game. THAT'S how the stars are born pretty much in boxing. If a guy was 15-9 that would be a hard sell to the majority of the public in boxing because we're used to MUCH better. Now Dana White (or someone) COULD pay more established fighters to join a league and then make fights between the guys A LA UFC. But keep in mind that UFC Fighters fight more but they get paid SHIT!!! Dana White would need ALOT of startup capital. Anderson Silva, the best MMA fighter in the world, was only guaranteed $200,000 for his fight with Bellfort. In comparison, Pacquiao and Mayweather, the best boxers in the world are both making $20-40 Million dollars a fight. Established or upcoming boxers would not sign with a league like UFC because the contracts would be too long and not pay enough. Remember Dana White got in at the beginning of MMA's TRUE popularity and bought everything up to create a monopoly in which he sets the salaries. In boxing, there's so much money that it would take a VERY rich person to be able to create a true league like UFC.
