That is not the reason. The reason is that boxing has become a PPV sport. Even HBO/Showtime regular fights are ppv because you have to pay a premium subscription to watch it. They've made boxing inaccessible to the casual fan. Bob is part of the problem. The UFC is easily accessible with reality TV shows, their Fox and FS1 cards. Then they have fightpass which is geared towards their younger tech savvy demographic. Ask 100 white people who their favorite boxer is and 99 will say Ali and 1 will say Marciano. If Arum doesn't recognize this is the problem then he's out of touch and isn't willing to change it so he's useless for the growth of the sport. And boxing will always be the best combat sport and the most popular combat sport. The UFC version of MMA is just poorly skilled boxing. UFC fans don't want to see the ground game. They want to see two poorly skilled boxers throw wide hooks with their chins exposed.

Arum's business model has always been built towards Mexicans anyway. And how can he say that when one of his most beloved fighters is filipino? White people loved Pac.
