If Boxing was on PPV like UFC it would be just as big?

    Of course boxing won't die, don't get so defensive.

    The question is what they can do to make the sport better than it currently is.

      No it won't make the sport better by having Pay Per Views every month I think the promotors need to do shows together and let their fighters fight each other all of them need to sit down and plan out a 2012 all star fight schedule.

        I wish boxing could do something similar to get the best fights back to network television in the states.

        Exactly this story some what sparked my question sub-consciously...

        Boxing is great, better then MMA but not marketing itself as so...

        If Boxing did, no question it would be just as popular, as the NFL...

        ****s crazy 60's, 70's and 80's boxing was unstoppable...

        About 90-92 when Tyson started being on PPV and killing cats in 32 sec, and ODLH started losing, hasn't been a star like or exposure as then...

        If Roy,Calzaghe, Floyd, Hopkins, Lewis, Klits etc.. were on network tv like Tyson and ODLH where, no doubt boxing would be the sport to watch IMO!!
