    Boxing has so many different promoters, network, managers, etc.
    UFC is more organized, they have to fight each other, can't hide behind politics.
    That is my theory.

      Money... Boxing, you need plenty of it. UFC, the price of a frog gigging pole for the winner..

        Less restrictions & UFC is a trickle down system.

          In boxing the promoters are all about making in-house fights. So they rarely work with each other to put on good title fights.

          In UFC all the fights are in-house fights. But that doesn't matter because Dana White is the only game in town and owns all the top fighters.

            Defacto monopoly. They're the major league of MMA; all the fighters, lucrative contracts, and deep cash reserves. White saw this as another opportunity to grow the brand; putting on top shelf content when sports on TV have been limited, and went all-in.

            No on in boxing has the money to do that; boxing promoters live hand-to-mouth.

              Dana White is the complete and total boss of the UFC. He says who fights who and what the fighters get paid and nobody else has any say in the matter, If the fighters don't like it they can go fight somewhere else for far less money. Top boxers make many times what top UFC fighters make. Boxing does not have a Dana White. If top boxers don't like how they are treated by a promoter they can leave when their contract is up. White can put together any card he wants. no promoter in boxing has his kind of power. Be glad of that. If boxing was run by White the way he runs the UFC boxers would be payed much less and the talent would also be much less. Ever notice how damn near every UFC fighter is a top 10 contender? That is because there are about 20 times as many pro boxers as there are pro MMA guys. White makes huge money with the UFC but most UFC fighters don't make much money compared to boxers..

                You say that as if Boxing doesn’t have the better quality championship fights lined up. Boxing just started late because they actually looked out for the well being of the fighters due to COVID. UFC was trying to put on fights two weeks after the Pandemic was declared.

                Also th UFC puts out garbage but you guys ignore it, you just seen a 42yr old who hasn’t fought in a year in the main event. If that happened in Boxing you ungrateful fans would complain.

                  After all these years People still haven't realized UFC is one Organization.

                  Call me when a UFC/Bellator match is made (maybe it has, idk lol.)

                    Boxing HAS made multiple title fights. I'm not sure what you mean with your title?
