Why are UFC able to do shows yet boxing promoters aren’t?

I think UFC fighters should be paid more by the UFC but even mid-level stars in the UFC like Jorge Masvidal and Colby Convington have much bigger social media presences and name recognition than these mid-level boxers who are making more in purses but can walk down the street without anyone giving them a second glance.
Nate Diaz and Masvidal probably combined made 10x less than Canelo but they got his fight pushed back to 1:30 am eastern.

Because Dana White went out and did it while boxing promoters did nothing but make fun of him for trying something different.
Now they’re all planning to copy his idea.
I hate mma and am not fan of White because of my personal bias. But he looks smart and everyone else looks dumb here.Comment

And you don't think that's killing boxing?

Agreed. The UFC have got it made with their business model. They just got 700k+ PPV buys out of a card where the main event fighters got a combined purse of $850k, for comparisons sake Spence and Garcia got $3m each for a PPV fight that did 375k buys...Comment
