Pacquiao vs. Mosley only had 300 000 more buys than St. Pierre vs. Shields and UFCs only been popular for the last 6 years, boxings been around forever. UFC is growing and its only a matter of time before it eclipses boxing, just give it more time.

i use to like boxing but it hasn't been the same in years. mma is more exciting to me. yeah there are some fast fights that are let downs but there are in boxing as well

The original reason everyone (lower and upper classes) were drawn to boxing, is because it appeals to our natural desire to see who the toughest fighting man in the world is! Since this isn't the brutal days of the Roman colosseum, they had to create rules to protect the fighters to some degree, yet find the proper balance that still gives us an idea who would win in a free-for-all. For this reason, early modern boxing had no round limits, and judges were very lenient--often allowing rabbit punches and the like. But now that we have MMA, we have a better method of determining who the best is, since MMA is a closer approximation to what a free-for-all is. And no, it's not third rate. It includes Judo gold medalist, wrestling gold medalist, sambo champs... etc.
