It seems like pro boxing is in a real fragile state right now, with the heavyweight division lacking the drawing power that it always has in the past, and with some fighters robbing fans opportunities to see mega fights that could breath new life into boxing over money issues. The 130- 160 lb fighters are whats keeping boxing in the mix right now. Boxing just lacks the characters that it used to have, I am talking about the characters that make the casual boxing fan fork over $50-$60. DLH is already eyeing retirement, so is Pac-Man, Hopkins is gone, Gatti is thinking of hanging 'em up, RJJ's days are numbered as well. All of the big name guys that made boxing big in the last ten years are getting old. MMA offers something new and fresh, plus the fighters aren't all about the money. (although they should be because they train 3x as hard as boxers) I personally, am a die hard MMA fan, and a Die hard boxing fan, unfortunately, some people have chosen sides. I just like to watch a good fight.
