Let’s face it — boxing is not MMA and MMA is not boxing. One could also say, boxing fans are not like MMA fans and vice versa.
If the UFC were to put on one good fight on a pay-per-view card, many fans would not pay $54.95 to watch that from home. That’s why there are multiple fights on UFC cards that have names attached, are great matchups, and entertaining for fans.
