MMA fans you tell me:Is boxing a dying sport or not?Just asked this in boxing

section...BIG MISTAKE!? I really cheesed off some people.Funny I don't see boxing promoted like MMA is. I guess I'm not watching when it is.

Yes, Boxing is becoming obsolete sport,Boxing is already having a shortage of good boxers, and only a few boxing events are selling these days. MMA will be the biggest sports events in the coming years.

Yes, it's dying in my opinion. Just look at the PPV numbers over the past 5 years. Boxing is a corrupt sport where the outcome of many fights over the years have been questionable at best. It used to be great but throughout the 80's and 90's there were just too many question marks. This largely had to do with Don King. I feel that when I see MMA what I am seeing in the UFC is legitimate. Though, I wouldn't say the same thing about the old PRIDE fights.
