Gotta keep up with the times. It would be ****** business to silo themselves into the market of a single sport, when that sport is rapidly losing market share.

No honor in choosing to sink.

Btw, UFC is a organization within MMA.

Boxing is losing it day by day, but the business wouldn't change if fighters keeps getting millions by fighting the fighter they want and not the fighter they have to face.

That's like saying the Hockey Times should have started covering basketball when hockey began to lose fans. Or PS4 Insider starts covering XBox. YOu don't see MMAFighting covering boxing

I could see a big event here and there like BoxingScene.com does, but to start covering MMA and Kickboxing, but call yourself the 'bible of boxing.' They are just looking to hand out Ring belts to MMA fighters, I guarantee it.

In a few years this site will be called Boxing&MMAscene.

I cant blame Oscar and Ring mag one bit for this. It is indicative of the state of boxing. McGregor v Diaz just sold 1.6M ppv buys. Lets see how long it takes for a boxing match to sell so well.

It's over.

Eh - basketball isn't played in a rink - but MMA and kickboxing sure are in a ring.

It is possible for them to still be "the bible of boxing". Just because they now do other things as well, doesn't mean they are automatically worse at what they started with.

It's a changing world dude, seriously. It would be idiotic business for them to not change with the times. Avoiding the complainers won't keep them in business.

Now waiting for promoters, boxers and managers to follow the MMA blueprint and match their fighters in tough comp
