so why do small time fighters like juan diaz and paulie malignaggi put up sell out crowds in chicago where neither of those two are even known?

OK, i don't believe boxing is dying, and i don't believe mma and boxing are related in any other way other than that they are both combat sports, so i'm not going to use one as a way to judge the other, but your argument here does bother me, because boxing venues have gotten smaller.

How big are these sell out chicago?

When i was in 3rd grade we had a recital at our little theatre, it held about 100 people, it was sold out, does that mean my third grade class was better musicians than any band that only sold 50,000 seats in a 65,000 seat stadium?

Everytime some MMA dude tells me that I tell them that I tell them they're caught up in hype and boxing has been around for centuries and will be around long after we're gone.

how can boxing be dead when we have 1000 people show up just for a press conference and mayweather,mosley,and pacquiao have all been interviewed on espn numerous times

Boxing isn't dead, its just not as prominent as it once was... It'll make a comeback at some point.... But i remember when the HW champ was celebrated and you actually knew the names of all the beltholders. (there were way less of them to remember back then though)
