Default Re: Why don\'t you watch boxing?

I like boxing way more than mma. I like the middleweights for the speed/artistry, I love the heavyweights for the atmosphere, I cant get into mma because it just seems like one long mountain dew commercial

There isn't much MMA round here, but I agree with this from what I've seen. What we need is someone (Don King even) to buy up all the different governing bodies, merge them into one, and have people fight for one belt. There's easily enough talent out there that fights for the #4 spot would be great fights in most divisions. There's not much you can do about the lack of US heavyweights: Big guys in the US go into American football or basketball. I think that division is lost until someone starts marketing it well again, and the place to start with that is the lighter weights.
