UFC is trash and pure visual ugliness. It can never touch boxing in terms of aesthetic beauty and elegance. Even that fight last night was massively overrated. You could not pay me to watch the undercard. However, boxing REALLY needs to study their marketing, because that sport is a triumph of marketing and promotion. It somehow is able to sell such a dreadful product and convince people they actually enjoy it.
Unfortunately, boxing is run by dinosaurs (Arum) and by shady business men (Haymon) who are utterly clueless in their decisions in the current marketplace, fuelled as they are by either outdated ideas and fear.
Mayweather did untold damage to the sport, and his fight with Pacquiao was the nadir of all his bull****. The sport should be fresher and more vital coming out of his retirement and holding the sport hostage, but Haymon is trying to bury Arum and HBO because he doesn't know how to be successful financially without Floyd.
