Dana White FORCES the best to fight the best every single week while in boxing it takes YEARS for the best to fight. No wonder people see boxing as a dying sport.

Boxers in boxing are very well protected by fans themselves. You hear things like he still young doe. He not ready yet doe. Case in point is Morrell being prevented from fighting Benavidez. A fight that is clearly a 50/50 fight. Aside from fans there is his trainer Shields who's got of rep of turning down fights for his fighters. Ask Jermall Charlo. And I don't think that fight Morrell/Benavidez will happen anytime soon. Morrell would have to line up 5 more bums before it happens.Comment

Lol I don't any person who actually watches the UFC. Most people don't know any of the names of the top UFC besides McGregor who I don't think even fight anymore. Numerous boxers are known by people who aren't even boxing fans. Also most of the UFC "top" fighters don't fight each other. They usually avoid each other like the plague.
you didnt make one factual point here lol
dude ive met random chicks that can tell you every ufc fighter
ive never met a man in real life that knows any active boxer besides MAYBE tyson fury even then most are liek who ?

Thing is the money is obviously there to pay them, the UFC gets all that viewer money and pays the fighters peanuts compared to what they make, boxing has always been a lone trainer/manager and his fighter, this trend went right through history until the high flying promoters ran the sport Arum, King, Oscar, PBC etc, if boxing started in the last 10 yrs it could have flown under one banner as in UFC, one boss for the entire group of fighters, all to late for that and now you seeing things like the HW UFC guy leaving UFC to look at the big money boxers get paid, boxing has always been highest bidder gets the pie.Comment

There is also at least 2 great big fights on UFC PPV card and also the other fights are evenly matched so pretty much all the main card fights are very enjoyableComment

UFC 284: Islam/Volk champ vs champ, Yair/Emmett in co main
UFC 285: Jon Jones coming back and coming up to HW to fight Gane, plus Rakhmonov/Neal, Gamrot/Turner, Du Plessis/Brunson and the return of Gabrandt
UFC 286: Edwards/Usman 3, Gaethje/Fiziev
UFC 287: Izzy/Pereira 2, Burns/Jorge, Holland/Ponzinibbio, Gastelum/Curtis
Those are the numbered cards this year so far, plus smaller free cards had stuff like Chito/Sandhagen, Holloway/Allen and Yan/Dvashvilli. No other fight promotion has cards that deep or are as consistent with making top 10 level pick em fights.Comment
