It seems that in the last 15 years, boxing has taken a serious decline. People simply aren't watching it, and if you asked anyone on the street, they'd wonder who the hell Shane Mosley or Miguel Cotto are. The UFC, on the other hand, has taken off in the last 5. What gives? What happened to boxing? Why is not as popular as it was less than 20 years ago? And how can it be fixed?
And the one thing I simply have to say, before this thread will ultimately degenerate into it: I really don't want to hear about MMA vs Boxing as a sport, and which one is better. I'm Russian born and Brooklyn-raised, I have a set mindset when it comes to boxing that can't be changed, and I have my reasons for preferring it over MMA. I'd much rather keep the discussion to the financial or social aspects of the sport that has led to its decline.
