Since a lot of cowardly american frauds have started using "survival mode tactics" to win fights, viewers are tuning out in their droves.
UFC curbstomped boxing this year
Casual fans who tuned in to mayweather and ward fights labelled boxing "pathetic" and "for *******"
Should the game be updated to reward courage and engagement. To save the sport from the cowardly frauds?
According to your logic.Kell Brook used survival mode tactics when he snuggled his way passed Porter....
Ricky Hatton didn't do anything but clinch.

Aggression has to be effective in order to be awarded.

Once boxing went to a PPV model, it killed the sport.
An older Muhammad Ali clinched, so did Bernard Hopkins, so did Floyd Mayweather, who is the biggest draw in the history of PPV.
Not being on TV creates distance between fans and fighters. Fans need to be able to follow these guys and hear their stories, tragedies, successes etc. . .on Sportscenter every night like they do with NFL, NBA, and UFC athletes.
Don King & Bob Arum killed the sport by taking it away from the public. No other sport could survive that. MMA's on TV EVERYDAY.
Also, just make the best fights and get rid of so many belts.
It's just that simple folks.
Butthurt stans mad that Mayweather or Ward beat your favorite puncher by using defensive tactics that have been used for generations need to go away.
It'd be like banning the San Antonio Spurs for being boring or something. Guess what?
Some great athletes are boring as **** to watch. Tim Duncan was one of them, should the NBA have taken away the things he did well? No. Just learn how to watch greatness and stop being children who need constant action in order to be entertained.
That's why MMA is popular. It's all you ADD ass kids who need to take your medication.
