He did not move up a weight class he had two fights at Welterweight vs Nate Diaz just prior, if anything he dropped a weight class!
They were both boring, granted the first less so but I've never heard anyone refer to Woodley vs Thompson as a great fight but you.
Both fights were boring as hell with extremely little action and the crowd booing practically nonstop.
He was the belt holder at 145. He went to fight for the title at 155. Stop being obstinate. You obviously didn't watch the first fight, probably didn't watch either one. The crowd booed in the 2nd one. They weren't booing in the first one at all. It was a great fight.
Boxing absolutely sucks atm and there have been many fights we've missed out on and all that, sure but we need to stop acting like the UFC is much if any better in that regard.

GSP vs Silva

Rousey vs Cyborg
Just a few off memory we could/should have had. A fair few of which Dana prevented us from getting.
Dana/UFC fans have short memories and the whole organisation has been built up on the back of boxing yet all they do is badmouth it and go on about how rubbish its run when the reality is its not all that much better and they have many of the same issues.
The only issue in MMA is that there are several different promotions. It isn't a lock that every top fighter is with the same group. However, each promotion has, you guessed it, one promoter who can gives fans the fights they want to see.
