I need ammo to debate how boxing is NOT dead..

This link will explain everything, make it easier. MMA Vs Boxing

in the past two years, HBO, Showtime, and ESPN INCREASED their number of annual shows. Hell HBO had to add a second broadcast team for BAD. Last year was HBO's second most successful year in PPV and this year may break their all time record depending on how tonight's fight did. Live boxing is usually on five nights a week in the U.S. Ths sport is even more popular in other parts of the world such as the Phillipines, Japan and Europe. But none of this matters. The whole 'Boxing is dying', and 'Can this be the fight that saves Boxing' thing has been going on for decades. It's a big part of Boxing's schtick and always has been. What has changed is that Boxing has become a niche sport since it was driven off ABC, CBS and NBC in the 80's. At that point it moved to cable and has been surviving quite nicely ever since as a niche sport. The last half of 07 was spectacular. I hope we can duplicate some of these awesome matchups next year.

largest UFC attendance was only 19049 and the largest PRIDE attendance was 64450 largest boxing attendance, 136274

Tonite was a great example of how boxing was not dead. Two great fighers fought a great and exciting fight.

i can safely assume that this one got atleast 1 mill buys i guess.
