True, MMA ratings have been declining steadily. It peaked a couple years ago. Unfortunately, boxing is not doing anything to strengthen itself. Worse, if MMA becomes out of style (which I see happening in some circles ), it could taint boxing even worse.
I say this as a hardcore MMA fan.Comment

the way UFC is ran will help it remain relevant, more so than boxing. much more profitable, even if their ppv events only do 800k (which is considered good in ufc ppv) they still have them on a monthly basis. and it's pretty much impossible to find a bar that plays boxing over ufc.True, MMA ratings have been declining steadily.

The problem is, most of their PPVs aren't even doing half that figure now . UFC on Fox 3 tanked abysmally. As did the Fuel event this week. I want to see the sport succeed, but the facts are that MMA in general is on a backslide. I think the most viable audience for any combat sport right now is the Mexicans and Mexican Americans. Boxing would be wise to continue to nurture that crowd.the way UFC is ran will help it remain relevant, more so than boxing. much more profitable, even if their ppv events only do 800k (which is considered good in ufc ppv) they still have them on a monthly basis. and it's pretty much impossible to find a bar that plays boxing over ufc.Comment
